Everyone can be a theologian
This week we have Phylicia Masonheimer on The Christian Parenting Podcast. Phylicia is a blogger, author, speaker, and podcast host who teaches Christians how to know what they believe and live it boldly.
Phylicia and I break down the idea that theology is an intimidating subject reserved for professors and pastors. In fact, everyone can and should be studying theology because what we believe about God informs everything we do—from how we think, what career we choose, and how we parent. Phylicia defines theology, gives us resources for studying, and even shares how to talk to kids of all ages about theology.

Raising Amazing Kids with Monica Swanson
Monica Swanson is joining me on The Christian Parenting Podcast and I am so excited for you to listen to this episode! Monica lives in Hawaii with her husband where she raised and homeschooled their four boys. Monica is the host of The Monica Swanson Podcast and her newest book is called Raising Amazing: Raising up kids who love God, like their family, and do the dishes without being asked.
Yes, having kids who do the dishes is great, but this book is less about doing dishes and more about building character in your kids. Monica and I talk about all-in parenting, being intentional with our kids, the importance of a family mission statement, and discipling kids at home.
Monica is the real deal and you will walk away with a really solid idea of what it means to raise amazing kids!

God's Enduring Faithfulness with Beth Moore
Beth Moore is joining me on The Christian Parenting Podcast and I could not be more excited about it!
Cynthia Yanof, host of Paredon the Mess, and I had the opportunity to sit down with Beth and discuss her new memoir All My Knotted-up Life. In her book, Beth is opening up about so many details of her life, from her incredibly difficult childhood, the ups and downs of marriage, parenting her girls, life in ministry and leaving the church she grew up with and loved.
Together we talk about parenting from a place of brokenness, being authentic with our kids, and handling church hurt while maintaining hope in Jesus. We even get to hear a little bit about what Beth’s daily time with the Lord looks like.
Through it all you will hear about God’s enduring faithfulness throughout Beth’s life. You don’t want to miss this episode!

Jinger is known for her time on the TV shows 19 Kids and Counting and Counting on, but these days she is wife to Jeremy, mom to two girls, and author of the book Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear.
It was such a joy to talk with Jinger!

As believing parents, we know how important it is to raise our kids with love and intentionality. We want to give our kids a full picture of God’s love for them every day! But some days, it’s really hard! We are stretched thin, tired, and often feel unequipped. The Christian Parenting Podcast gives parents the space and resources to set aside perfection and grow into the perfectly imperfect parents God made them to be.
Join host Steph Thurling and her guests as they discuss practical tips and spiritual guidance for your parenting journey.
