Summary
Hey fam, we are back this week with a conversation that I think so many parents need.
A major part of my life is being a mom, and in this episode I wanted to slow down and talk about what it really means to raise children in a home where God is not just a topic we bring up when life goes wrong, but the theme of the home itself.
So often, parenting can become focused on behavior, structure, and getting through the day. But as believers, we are called to more than just raising well-behaved kids. We are called to make disciples in our homes. In this episode, I talk about what it looks like to build a daily cadence of discipleship with your children through prayer, scripture, devotionals, honest conversations, and simply making the Lord part of everyday life.
This episode is for the parent who feels the weight of responsibility, the mom who wants to lead her children well, the dad who wants to build a Christ-centered home, and anyone wondering how to take simple but faithful steps toward discipling the children God has entrusted to them.
I pray this episode reminds you that you do not have to be a perfect parent to be a faithful one.
