Discipling our kids doesn’t have to be intimidating with Sarah Holmstrom

About this episode

Sarah Holmstrom shares insights on how to disciple children in everyday family life.

As part of our Best of The Christian Parenting Podcast series, we’re revisiting some of our most helpful and encouraging conversations for families. Discipling our kids to know, love, and follow Jesus is one of the most important callings of Christian parenting, but it can also feel complex and uncertain. In this episode, Sarah Holmstrom shares wisdom on what discipleship can look like in everyday family life. We talk about how to approach discipleship with kids who have different personalities, what daily faith formation can look like at home, and why praying for our children truly matters. Sarah and Steph also share personal experiences from their years of ministry encouraging families to make prayer and spiritual growth a natural part of the rhythms of home life. Sarah serves alongside Steph in the ministry Raising Prayerful Kids , and they co-authored the book of the same name, helping parents nurture a culture of prayer in their homes.
