Parenting can feel overwhelming-- especially when you want to raise kids who are emotionally healthy, resilient, and grounded in their faith. In this episode, we sit down with David Thomas, counselor, speaker, and author, to talk about what kids really need from us parents and how connection- not perfection- is the foundation for growth.

David brings decades of experience working with children and families, offering practical wisdom and hope-filled encouragement for parents who want to show up well, even when they feel stretched thin.

Whether you are navigating big emotions, behavioral challenges, or simply wondering if you're "doing enough", this conversation will remind you that small, intentional moments matter more than you think.

You're not going to want to miss tout on this conversation! Listen in as we unpack David's Top 5 encouragements to Moms....

• This is holy, sacred work with a high calling.
• You are the right person for the Job.
• You can trust your gut.
• "We can't be Jesus to our children, but we can need Jesus in front of them." Leslie Leyland Fields
• Challenge= Play the long game. Trust in the slow steady work of God.
