In this conversation with Bible teacher, researcher, author, mom, and grandmother Sheila Krygsheld, we talk about how Christian parenting can create a safe place for hard questions instead of turning faith conversations into arguments. You’ll learn how to become a credible spiritual witness by seeking truth, asking better questions, listening calmly, admitting when you do not know, apologizing when you respond poorly, and helping your child search Scripture. For Christian moms raising kids ages 8–12, these skills matter during the middle school years when friends, teachers, social media, and culture begin shaping what children believe. If you’re navigating child questioning faith, this conversation covers Christian parenting tweens, Christian parenting preteens, tween faith, middle school faith, faith formation, family discipleship, biblical parenting, teaching kids the Bible, helping kids know Jesus, Christian apologetics for parents, how to talk to kids about faith, Christian middle school parenting, and raising Christian kids. If you want your child to keep coming to you with difficult questions, your goal is not to win every argument. It is to become a calm, trustworthy guide who points them back to Scripture and helps them build a thoughtful, personal faith. The mission of Faith Mom Mentor is to help Christian moms know God deeply and teach their tweens faithfully through biblical parenting, family discipleship, and practical conversations about faith.

It is about helping them build discernment while they still have a strong safety net. Using Proverbs 5 as a framework, we look at how Christian moms can become a trusted source, talk honestly about curiosity and temptation, and help kids think beyond the immediate moment to choices, paths, and outcomes. You’ll also see why small conversations over time can be more useful than one “big talk,” how to adapt the conversation to your child, and how biblical parenting can prepare tweens for increasing independence without relying on fear or shame. Our mission at Faith Mom Mentor is to help Christian moms prepare kids for middle school with stronger faith, wiser decision-making, and a trust-based parent-child relationship.

You’ll learn how to separate facts from assumptions, listen before correcting, recognize when adult help is needed, and help your daughter choose a faithful response even when she cannot control the outcome. We also explore forgiveness, healthy boundaries, wise counsel, and how everyday friendship drama can become a discipleship opportunity. Deuteronomy 6:6–7 reminds us that these ordinary moments are places to teach God’s truth diligently.

In this conversation, Faith Mom Mentor sits down with Jenna Schutt, founder of Faith with Jenna and creator of The Joy Reflex™, to talk about how Christian moms can overcome fear by practicing faith, peace, and joy before the pressure comes. After walking through a rare and aggressive bone marrow disease, chemotherapy, serious complications, and a stem cell transplant while raising two young boys, Jenna discovered the difference between knowing God’s Word and learning to reach for God’s truth when fear, anxiety, and “what if” thoughts begin to take over. She explains why faith does not deny difficult circumstances, how renewing your mind with Scripture creates a new pattern of response, and why the way a mom responds to fear can influence the atmosphere of her home. In this video, you’ll learn:• Why fear can become our automatic response in stressful moments• How Romans 12:2 connects to renewing your mind with God’s truth• How The Joy Reflex™ helps make faith, peace, and joy a practiced response• Why children learn how to respond to fear by watching their parents• How one Scripture can become an anchor throughout your day• Simple ways busy Christian moms can practice biblical truth without adding another overwhelming task• How faith-filled friendships can help you stay grounded when life gets hard You do not need to memorize every Bible verse about fear or anxiety. Start with one truth. Read it. Write it somewhere you can see it. Speak it out loud. Pray it. Practice returning to it when fear rises. The goal is to let God’s truth become your first response instead of your last resort.

    EP 76 // How to Teach Your Child to Hear God’s Voice (Before Middle School)

    Christian mom of kids 8–12? Teach your child how to hear God's voice biblically and grow in discernment before middle school. 🔴 FREE Gospel Clarity Study Guide for moms of kids ages 8–12 ➡️ https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/gospel-clarity-study-guide ⭐️ FREE EBOOK: Reclaim Your Role as a Godly Influence in Your Middle Schooler’s Life ➡️ https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/time-truth-trust-EBOOK How do you teach your child to recognize God's leading without encouraging them to label every thought or feeling “God told me”? In this episode, you'll learn a simple biblical framework for helping kids ages 8–12 practice discernment: STOP, TEST, and RESPOND. Using the story of Samuel and Eli in 1 Samuel 3, we'll talk about how Christian moms can point their children toward God without becoming their permanent spiritual interpreter. When your child wonders, “Is God speaking to me?” teach them to test that thought with three questions: • Does this agree with God's Word?• Does this fit God's character?• Does this hold up through prayer and godly counsel? Then help them RESPOND by taking the next faithful step. You'll also learn how to distinguish conviction from condemnation, practice discernment through real-life scenarios, and establish the gospel as the foundation before the pressures and competing voices of middle school grow louder. ⏰ EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 - Teach Stop Test Respond02:34 - Gospel First Foundation03:15 - Eli and Samuel Lesson04:56 - Middle School Voices Ahead06:49 - Three Tests Framework07:01 - Test One Scripture Standard08:40 - Test Two Character Check10:56 - Test Three Prayer Counsel13:13 - Respond and Take Steps13:35 - Practice Scenarios Activity16:26 - Recheck Gospel Bridge18:07 - Study Guide and Wrap Up 🎧 LISTEN NEXT:EP 74 // Why Being a Good Kid Doesn't Mean They're Savedhttps://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/podcasts/faith-mom-mentor-helping-moms-guide-kids-8-12-to-walk-with-god/episodes/2149252456 =============================RESOURCES 📖 Joshua Bible Study ➡️ https://amzn.to/40rPF4o 📖 NLT Large Print Premium Value Thinline Bible ➡️ https://amzn.to/3Ndslol 📓 Horacio Printing ➡️ https://www.horacioprinting.com/?dt_id=2969303Use code LIFEANDPEACEMINISTRIES for 15% off. ⚡️ Systemize Your Life ➡️ https://offers.chelsijo.co/sylcheckout?am_id=faithmommentor =============================CONNECT + WORK WITH US Facebook ➡︎ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61592507375460Instagram ➡︎ https://www.instagram.com/lifeandpeaceministries/Faith Mom Mentor YouTube ➡︎ https://www.youtube.com/@FaithMomMentor?sub_confirmation=1 ⚡️ Free Christian parenting resources ➡︎ https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/blog⚡️ Faith Mom Mentor Session ➡︎ https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/schedule-a-faith-mom-mentor-session⚡️ Book Anne to speak ➡︎ https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/speaker-page We're not raising children who call every passing thought God's voice.

    EP 75 // You Don’t Have to Do It All as a Christian Mom - Finding Peace Today

    Does your to-do list feel like it never ends? As a busy Christian mom raising kids ages 8–12, it can feel like everything is urgent. There is always one more task to finish, one more person who needs you, and one more thing you are afraid you might forget. In this episode of Faith Mom Mentor, Anne welcomes award-winning author and former high-tech executive Margaret Agard, author of the In His Footsteps memoirs, to share how giving her daily to-do list to God transformed the way she approached motherhood, work, priorities, and stress. While raising eight children, working as an executive, and finishing her university degree, Margaret reached a season where she was exhausted and overwhelmed. She began taking her responsibilities to God and asking a simple question: “Lord, what would You have me do today?” That practice changed more than her schedule. Margaret shares how surrendering her priorities to God helped her experience greater peace, sleep better, create margin for her children, and become more aware of the people and opportunities God was placing in front of her. In this episode, you’ll discover:• How to give your to-do list to God• Why Margaret began praying over her priorities at night• How surrendering daily tasks can reduce overwhelm• Why God’s priorities may look different from what feels urgent• How creating margin can help you be more present with your children• A powerful prayer for seeing your child the way God sees them• One simple question you can begin asking God each day 📚 READ MARGARET AGARD’S IN HIS FOOTSTEPS MEMOIRSAvailable in print, ebook, and audiobook: https://amzn.to/4r7oiJI ⭐️ FREE GOSPEL CLARITY STUDY GUIDEFor moms of kids ages 8–12:https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/gospel-clarity-study-guide ⚡️ FREE EBOOKReclaim Your Role as a Godly Influence in Your Middle Schooler’s Life:https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/time-truth-trust-EBOOK 📖 Joshua Bible Study:https://amzn.to/40rPF4o 📖 NLT Large Print Premium Value Thinline Bible:https://amzn.to/3Ndslol 💡 HORACIO PRINTINGSave 15% on your entire order with code:LIFEANDPEACEMINISTRIES https://www.horacioprinting.com/?dt_id=2969303 💡 Pair your planner with Systemize Your Life:https://offers.chelsijo.co/sylcheckout?am_id=faithmommentor CONNECT WITH FAITH MOM MENTOR YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@FaithMomMentor?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/lifeandpeaceministries/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61592507375460 Free Christian parenting resources:https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/blog Book Anne to speak at your event:https://www.lifeandpeaceministries.com/speaker-page Faith Mom Mentor helps moms guide kids ages 8–12 to walk with God as we build faith together at home.

Because as your child moves toward the middle school years, friends, social pressure, online influences, questions, and independence will become louder. Rules and good behavior alone cannot prepare them for those pressures. You want your child to understand who Jesus is, what He has done, why they need Him, and what it means to belong to Him. In this video, we look at the biblical difference between being a “good kid” and being born again. You’ll learn how to explain repentance and faith, why saying a prayer is not a formula for salvation, how assurance is anchored in Christ rather than perfect behavior, and why good works are the fruit of new life—not the root of salvation. You’ll also learn practical questions you can ask your child so you can listen to what they actually believe instead of simply teaching them what words to repeat. The goal is not to manufacture a spiritual moment. It is to understand the gospel clearly yourself, open God’s Word with your child, and faithfully point them to Jesus before the pressure gets stronger. Faith Mom Mentor equips Christian moms to disciple their children with biblical truth, gospel clarity, and confidence. Disclaimer: Some links in this description may be affiliate links.
