Are you looking for some inspiring parenting podcasts full of Biblical truth to help guide you on the life mess that parenting often brings? Whether you’re in the car or on a run, it’s always beneficial to get fed content with depth when it comes to motherhood and fatherhood — these podcast episodes will surely do that.
From some of my favorite teachers, pastors, and their guests, here are a few topics worth listening to with encouragement to help you parent in today’s culture and turn your gaze towards Jesus as the only hope we have to parent with purpose and intentionality in this dark world.
Parenting is a challenge, especially in 2023, but thanks to a God who gives us everything we need, we can gain wisdom and insight by simply asking Him and abiding in His Spirit as He guides us in discipling our children.

Raising your kids to follow Jesus without feeling like you’re forcing them is challenging. This often leads us to send our kids to Sunday school or youth group, hoping this will be sufficient.
But we need to realize that God has given us a profound role that exceeds simply providing for our children and making sure they get a good education – to disciple them in a way that will lead to genuine Christ-followers, not Sunday Christian performers.
As people of the Christian faith, we are to be ambassadors of His message, not controllers or puppeteers of our children’s hearts. This can only be done when we, the parents, are modeling for our kids what it means to genuinely and wholeheartedly follow Christ.
My husband and I have learned a lot in our parenting journey. We continually discover what works and what doesn’t because of our upbringing and look to God’s Word to educate and the Holy Spirit to guide us.
As we continue our journey, we self-reflect daily, knowing we are just as in need of God’s grace as our children. With a posture of humility, we desire to model for them how to live in freedom because of the gospel.
And while we are far from perfect, we have SO enjoyed walking alongside our son through his spiritual journey. It’s our privilege.
That’s my desire for you as you read this book.
I pray that your heart will be in tune with the Holy Spirit as you disciple your kids and you find joy in the process. I pray that my words can be used in your life to point your family to Christ.
What better time to raise disciples than right now; to help your kids find joy in their faith and prepare them to reflect Christ in a dark world.
Most of the advice in this book is inspired by Jesus’ interactions with His disciples. We can learn SO much about parenting from the Bible.
I hope you’ll enjoy my take on it!
Now, onto the podcasts! I hope these episodes will be an inspiration to your parenting journey. Whether you have a toddler, teenager, or adult children, these episodes will be a guiding light in this uncertain world.
When we get off track in our parenting, we usually resort to unhealthy discipline ingited by tension and yelling, bribing and manipulation that causes division in the family, anxiety, depression. Don’t let these common parenting mistakes creep into the fabric of your family.
