I'm so glad to have found this podcast. Belinda is warm and speaks with clarity & experience. As a homeschooling Mum of 5, I have been helped in thinking clearly about how to love my kids and gained tips for setting a gracious tone at home.

Description

The heart-focused podcast that helps Christian parents raise their kids with faith, character, and life skills. Short encouragements, tips, and prompts to help you in your everyday interactions with your kids - always keeping in mind that the heart is more important than the behaviour. Join me every week.
