  • Bonus Episode: Praying for Your Kids and Grandkids
    Sep 8 2025

    Hey Momma, today we’ve got something special for you: a bonus episode straight from the

    Pardon the Mess podcast!


    Every Monday, host Courtney DeFeo shares a short prayer to help you lift up your kids. This

    year’s series follows Christian Parenting’s brand new prayer journal, A Great Cloud of

    Witnesses.


    Each week highlights a biblical hero of the faith, paired with Scripture-based prayers for your

    kids. Here is a sneak peek into week one:

    This first week is all about Noah—a man of incredible faith and obedience. While the world

    around him turned away from God, Noah walked in righteousness. Building the ark probably

    looked foolish to everyone else, but Noah trusted God’s word even when it didn’t make sense.

    That’s the kind of faith we want for our kids: to listen to God’s voice over any others and walk

    confidently with Him even when it means standing apart.


    If you love this episode and don’t have your copy of A Great Cloud of Witnesses yet, it’s not too

    late to get yours! Go ChristianParenting.org to get your copy and follow along. And don’t forget

    to tune in to Pardon the Mess every Monday for more prayer episodes.
