As a mom of 2 toddlers , this has been such a blessing in my life! Biblical wisdom from two wonderful women have experienced the same struggles every mom deals with. Thank you

hahahshshdvsggs · May 2025

As a mom of 2 toddlers, this is by far one of my favorite podcasts!! I’m so grateful for the encouragement, insight and wisdom that Leslie and Diane share. Highly recommend!!

LBPlatt · May 2025

I became a mom in 2019 and searched for resources. In 2020, the “parenting” world of social media seemed to take off. The social media/digital resources that I found always fell short of my biblical worldview. I wanted compassionate, research-based parenting wisdom, coupled with a faith perspective. This podcast offers that and more. It’s a quick listen, practical, and oozes God’s character at the heart.

LASK19 · Apr 2025

As a professional who works with children, but also a mom of 2, I love this podcast and everything they stand for! The episodes are short and sweet and easy to listen to, but also give real life applicable advice on how to raise children.
