Before I ever teach you how to raise kids who love God, I want you to know my story because it's the reason this podcast exists.

In this first episode of Raising Children Who Love God, I share my journey as a Christian mom: the deep longing for motherhood, the joy and the heartbreak, and what it meant to keep parenting through profound loss. I'll share how I learned to stop striving and start seeking God's wisdom, and how intentional, faith-filled parenting shaped the way I raised my children, every one of whom grew up to love and serve God.

If you long to disciple your children at home but you feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start, pull up a chair, I want to be your friend and mentor at the kitchen table. Raising kids who love God isn't simple, but it can be done, and you don't have to do it alone.
