In this heartfelt episode, we unpack a simple but powerful parenting truth: you can’t control your child’s behavior, but you can control permission, consequences, and the culture you set in your home. Inspired by a one-on-one conversation with her almost-six-year-old, we explore how to clarify roles, set boundaries, and embrace the honor of guiding our children with love and Kingdom principles.

Do your expectations of your kids reflect the grace God extends to you? In this episode, Emily invites Kingdom mamas to examine where perfectionism may be creeping into their parenting. She shares how unrealistic expectations can lead to performance-based households—and how God’s love calls us to parent differently. Discover how to cultivate a learning environment filled with connection, grace, and peace that draws your child’s heart closer, not further. Let's parent the way God parents us.

What is the Kingdom of God—and why does it matter for motherhood? In this episode, Emily breaks down Jesus’ core message, what it means to live as stewards (not owners), and how Kingdom principles like humility, stewardship, and love apply to how we raise our kids.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Kingdom Motherhood Podcast! In this raw and powerful story, Emily Johnson shares her personal journey from performance-based parenting and spiritual burnout to Spirit-led, Kingdom-rooted motherhood.
