FAITH MOM MENTOR - Helping Moms Guide Kids 8-12 to Walk with God

Anne Gurley

I help moms guide kids ages 8–12 to walk with God. You love God, and you want your child to know Him too. But as the middle school years approach, you may feel unprepared for the questions, emotions, influences, and changes your child will face. You are not failing. You simply need biblical guidance, practical tools, and a trusted mentor to help you lead with greater clarity and confidence. The Faith Mom Mentor Podcast helps you strengthen your own walk with God so you can faithfully guide your child through the important ages of 8–12. In each episode, you will find warm, practical, Scripture-centered help for: Teaching your child how to know and trust God Creating simple faith-building rhythms at home Talking about difficult questions with truth and grace Helping your child navigate friendships, emotions, fear, and outside influences Growing in confidence as your child’s most important spiritual mentor Building a peaceful home rooted in biblical truth You do not need to have every answer. You do not need to become a perfect mom. You need a growing relationship with God, a willingness to keep learning, and simple ways to help your child take the next faithful step. Together, we will open God’s Word, apply biblical truth to real family life, and help you move from feeling unprepared to leading your child with wisdom, peace, and purpose. So instead of entering the middle school years overwhelmed and unsure, you can become a calm, credible, and faithful guide—and help your child confidently walk with God.

    EP 87 // Your Child Knows Bible Stories… But Do They Know God?

    Your child knows Bible stories—but do they really know God? As Christian moms, we want our children to have more than Sunday school knowledge. We want them to recognize God's faithfulness, understand His Word, and develop a personal faith that prepares them for the challenges of middle school. In this Faith Mom Mentor interview, Anne Gurley welcomes Donna Martin of JoyCo to discuss how sharing family testimonies, everyday gratitude, and real-life experiences can help children ages 8–12 move beyond knowing Bible stories to recognizing God's work in their own lives. 🌟 CONNECT WITH DONNA MARTIN & JOYCO Discover resources and encouragement to help your family share stories of God's faithfulness. ➡️ Visit JoyCo: https://www.joyco.info/ Connect with Donna: Contact: https://www.joyco.info/contact-page Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joyco.info YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL-7X-k1vGEmLH1Z0nGlacg?view_as=subscriber ❤️ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS INTERVIEW ✅ Why knowing Bible stories isn't the same as personally knowing God ✅ Why attending church and Sunday school alone isn't enough for family discipleship ✅ How sharing your family's testimony helps children recognize God's faithfulness ✅ Simple ways to talk about faith without turning every conversation into a lecture ✅ How everyday gratitude can help your child notice God's work ✅ Why the tween years are an important opportunity to prepare your child's faith before middle school ✅ One simple story you can share with your child this week ⏰ VIDEO CHAPTERS 00:00 Why Family Testimony Matters00:40 Meet Donna Martin01:12 From Bible Stories to Real God02:48 Why Church Alone Isn’t Enough04:56 Sharing Faith Without Lectures08:04 Everyday Gratitude Rhythms11:43 Don’t Wait for Teen Years14:16 The Tween Brain Window17:12 Where to Connect and Next Steps18:32 Final Challenge One Story 💛 MOM, HERE'S YOUR CHALLENGE Before this week ends, tell your child one story about a time God demonstrated His faithfulness in your life. It doesn't need to be dramatic. It just needs to be real. Then ask: "Where have you seen God working in your life?" Your child doesn't need another lecture.

Anne Gurley of Faith Mom Mentor welcomes Jessica D. Young, Christian author, speaker, and founder of the Made Whole Movement, to discuss waiting for readiness versus trusting God with the next faithful step. You'll hear how fear can disguise itself as wisdom, how to find peace amid unanswered questions, and why obedience may look like rest, forgiveness, prayer, or asking for help. Jessica shares her practical “easy plus one” approach: practice one biblical truth, then build from there. It's encouragement for Christian moms who want to grow in faith without adding more pressure. For moms navigating Christian parenting, biblical parenting, parenting preteens and parenting tweens, this conversation connects personal discipleship with raising Christian kids. You don't need flawless faith to practice gospel centered parenting. Let your kids see you pray, read Scripture, apologize, and trust God. Those daily faith conversations with kids can help prepare them for middle school, build a biblical worldview for kids, and make family discipleship real. Faith Mom Mentor helps moms of children ages 8–12 know God's Word, live it out, and guide their children toward lasting faith.

You may even search for the best habits, how to become better, how to improve your life, or the best habits to have. But for Christian parents, there is a deeper question: What habit will help your child trust God when life gets hard? In this video, we look at Joshua and the one habit connected to what God calls “good success”: continually returning to God’s Word, meditating on it, believing it, and doing what it says. This One Habit Will Truly Change Your Life because biblical transformation goes beyond behavior modification or simply trying to become more productive. Whether people are searching for the best habits for students, best habits for men, best habits for a healthy life, masculine man content, Mitch Manly, or Improvement Pill habit advice, Scripture points us toward something deeper. Joshua shows us that true success is not simply about becoming more disciplined or impressive. It is about learning to believe God, obey God, and trust Him when pressure, conflict, disappointment, friendship drama, and difficult decisions come. For an 8–12-year-old preparing for middle school, this matters. Your child will increasingly face decisions and consequences without you standing beside them. Building a consistent habit of Bible reading and Bible study now can help them learn to ask: What does God say is true? Do I believe Him? What is the wise next step? The 50-Day Joshua Bible Study helps families practice those conversations together through courage, obedience, fear, conflict, consequences, decisions, failure, God’s promises, and victorious living one day at a time. Our mission at Life and Peace Ministries and Faith Mom Mentor is to help moms prepare their 8–12-year-olds spiritually before the pressures of middle school arise.
