About this episode

Tammie Floyd discusses the importance of community and friendship in parenting.

Parenting was never meant to be done alone, but building meaningful community can feel challenging in the middle of full and busy lives. In this episode, Tammie Floyd shares wisdom from years of parenting and ministry, with a focus on friendship and the importance of community for moms. The conversation explores what it looks like to cultivate life-giving relationships, why support matters in every season, and how God often provides the right people at the right time. We also talk about the role of the local church in a child’s faith journey and why consistent involvement can have a lasting impact.
