| 9/1/26 | How serving helps kids build a lasting faith with Eric and Sarah Holmstrom | What if one of the most important things you can do for your child’s faith is help them become part of the church, not just attend it?In this episode of our discipleship series, I’m joined by Sarah and Eric Holmstrom to talk about why regularly serving in church can have such a lasting impact on our kids’ faith.Sarah and Eric share how serving has shaped their own family, why kids are never too young to begin, and practical ways to help children discover where their gifts and personalities fit within the church. We also talk about what to do when your child doesn’t want to serve, why more is often caught than taught, and how to create a family culture of serving without making it feel like something we do to earn God’s love.If you want your kids to know they have a place and a purpose in God’s kingdom, this conversation will encourage you to move beyond simply going to church and help your family become an active part of it.Resources:Calming Your Anxious ChildThanks-Living: Embracing the Power of Gratitude Every DayHands on BibleRaising Prayerful Kids bookChristian Parenting's latest prayer journal: Faith in Action: Prayers from James for the Next Generation(PS You can also listen to Pardon the Mess podcast each Monday starting September 14th to listen to guided prayer and reflection that follows the journal.)Prefer video?

| 8/25/26 | How to teach kids to pray for a lasting faith with Erica Renaud | In this episode, Steph continues the discipleship series by exploring one of the strongest predictors of lasting faith: regular prayer. We know prayer is important, but many parents feel unsure where to begin or worry they aren't "good enough" at praying out loud.In this episode, Steph sits down with author Erica Renaud to talk about how prayer becomes the foundation of a child's relationship with God. Together they discuss practical ways families can incorporate prayer into everyday life, how to move beyond memorized prayers without abandoning them, and how to help children navigate unanswered prayer with trust in God's character.Whether your children are preschoolers, teenagers, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers simple encouragement to help your family grow closer to God through prayer.Resources MentionedWebsitePray With Me bookRaising Prayerful Kids bookThe Creation of UsHands on BibleThe Secret Life of ChristiansPrefer video?
