Hey friends, today weve got something special for you: a bonus episode straight from the Pardon the Mess podcast!

Every Monday, host Courtney DeFeo shares a short prayer to help you lift up your kids. This years series follows Christian Parentings brand new prayer journal, A Great Cloud of Witnesses. 

Each week highlights a biblical hero of the faith, paired with Scripture-based prayers for your kids. Here is a sneak peek into week one:

This first week is all about Noaha man of incredible faith and obedience. While the world around him turned away from God, Noah walked in righteousness. Building the ark probably looked foolish to everyone else, but Noah trusted Gods word even when it didnt make sense. Thats the kind of faith we want for our kids: to listen to Gods voice over any others and walk confidently with Him even when it means standing apart.

In this encouraging episode of Rocking It Grand, Chrys and Shellie dive into the beauty and simplicity of our higher callingto reflect Christ to the world around us.

Shellie shares reflections from her recent trip to Alaska, where the stunning landscapes reminded her of Psalm 19:1The heavens declare the glory of God. But even with all the beauty God has created, 1 Corinthians 1:21 reminds us that people still need to hear about Jesus. Thats where we come in.

God uses ordinary peoplelike you and usto share His extraordinary message. Its not about being perfect. Its about being willing.

Poem by Chrys Howard

You make a difference every day,

In the gentle words you choose to say.

In the kindness shared and the love you give,

You shape the world, and help others live.

You make a difference and others know,

By the actions you take to help them grow.

You're a mom, grandma, sister, or friend,

A loving example that has no end.

Never doubt your power and might,

To lead others to see the light.
