Ep. 20 | Rooted in Faith: From Obligation to Invitation

In this Rooted in Faith episode, we’re opening up Philippians 4 and exploring how to help our kids turn Scripture into real life action.

I walk through the SOAP method, Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer, and share how I use it with my daughters to help them navigate anxiety, school pressure, unkind friendships, and overwhelming thoughts through God’s Word. We take a closer look at verses like Philippians 4:6–7 and 4:8, and what it means to replace worry with prayer and fix our minds on what is true.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, disciple your kids with intention, and lead your family with a faith that’s practiced daily. My prayer is that this conversation equips you to guide your children toward peace, confidence, and a deeper trust in Christ.
