Hi friends,

This week’s episode is a little different and really special. It's just me, Steph, reflecting on the past three years of hosting the Christian Parenting Podcast. As I look back on the many conversations I’ve had with incredible guests, a few themes have come up over and over again. And I wanted to take a moment to name them, reflect on them, and remind you (and myself!) that faithful parenting is not about doing everything perfectly, it's about showing up with humility, love, and trust in God.

In this solo episode, I share some of the truths that have encouraged me the most over the years:

• Relationship comes before instruction. Our kids don’t need a lecture, they need connection.
• Consistency matters more than intensity. One big moment doesn’t outweigh everyday faithfulness.
• Modeling an authentic faith makes a lasting impact. Your honesty and humility preach louder than perfection.
• You’re not responsible for the outcome. You’re invited to be faithful, present, and full of grace, and let God do the rest.

These reminders have shaped how I approach my own parenting and I hope they encourage you as you walk alongside your kids in faith, love, and truth.

With Love,

Steph
