Are you a Christian mama who wants your kids to fall in love with Jesus? Me too, friend! I’m Joy Wendling: friend of Jesus, wife, seminary grad, Parent Coach, and Children’s and Family Minister turned Stay-at-Home Mom to 5 girls. Join me as we explore our calling to introduce our kids to Jesus and watch as the Holy Spirit transforms their lives. We call this privilege Spiritual Parenting or Christian Parenting. Every day God wants to partner with us as he pursues a relationship with our kids. And, because research shows God created our kids to learn best through play, we might just have a little bit of fun while we are at it.

On Mondays, we look at Spiritual/Christian Parenting and how we can incorporate more play and fun into our kids’ discipleship.
