The Parenting for Faith podcast

What if looking after ourselves could also help our children?


In today’s episode, Anna chats with Christian fitness coach David Donaghue about the connections between faith, fitness and family life. They explore the pressure to put ourselves last, the power of small and sustainable habits, and how our children learn from what they see us doing.

David is a Christian fitness coach, with a varied experience including church leadership. David's work includes helping busy parents improve their health and fitness with close support and accountability!

What if you don’t have to be a perfect Christian parent for your children to know God?

In today’s episode, Anna and Jess are joined by David and Laura to talk honestly about the key truths behind the Parenting for Faith approach and what they’ve looked like in their own families. They explore the pressure to get Christian parenting ‘right’, the freedom of knowing that God is already at work in their children’s lives, and what it means to help children and teenagers take their next step with God.

What if helping our children and teenagers know God isn’t about getting everything right?

In today’s episode, Anna and Jess introduce the Five Key Tools Course and along with Parenting for Faith founder, Rachel Turner, they explore Key Truths at the heart of the Parenting for Faith approach. They look at how God is already at work in the lives of our children and teenagers, why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to faith, and how parents and carers can support their children’s relationship with God without trying to engineer it.

September can feel like a fresh start, but what if we don’t need to get everything sorted?

Summer camps can be incredible moments of growth, but how can we help faith become real when everyday life begins again?

In today’s episode, Anna talks with author and pastor Alistair Chalmers about how parents and carers can nurture the conversations, questions and moments that help faith last beyond the summer. Alistair offers some practical tips to help teenagers grow in faith in through the ordinary, everyday moments of life after a summer camp experience.

Alistair is Pastor of Ferniehill Evangelical Church and author of ‘Road Map to Jesus’ & ‘Living for Jesus’. He lives in Edinburgh with his wife and two daughters. Alistair blogs at www.achalmersblog.com.
