Enough Excues Already! How to Parent with Purpose for Christian Parents by Creating Vision and a Plan!
Mama, do you have a plan in your parenting journey? Don't worry, neither do I. But I think after hearing this episode, you might just change your mind.Â
In this episode, I chatted with Amy Weichel from Faithful Parent. Amy shares how motherhood was overwhelming for her with 4 kids under 5. Her and her husband desired for their kids to know and love God, but their lives were so hectic, and they were unsure if they were parenting with this end goal in mind.
So, they changed things up. They were encouraged to create a plan for their parenting, and little by little they made changes and created a vision as a family.Â
Now, life is a lot calmer and intentional with a greater focus on showing their kids Jesus.
Mama, I know you will be inspired by this episode.
Listen HereFaithful Parenting By Derek Weichel
As Derek and Amy become more intentional in their parenting, it stirred something within them. They wanted to help other families experience what they had. So, they developed a process similar to the one they used to help them become more intentional in their family life. They wanted other families to feel the same peace and joy they did, knowing they were pointing their families toward Jesus for generations.
This led Derek and Amy to start Faithful Parent which is designed for parents who yearn for intentionality, and parents who want a more peaceful, connected, and faith-centered family life.
The Road to Intentional Christian Parenting
Do you have a Christian parenting plan? Derek and Amy Weichel, authors of A Chance to Change and Founders of Faithful Parent, questioned how they should raise their children. Viewing the statistics, acknowledging their inconsistencies, and dealing with the everyday overwhelm of raising four children age five and younger set them in motion to discover the best plan for their family. They studied and developed what they needed. After implementing their plan, their family feels more focused, connected, and fun. Now, they are sharing what they learned with others. Tune in to discover more.
