    Dec 29 2025

    In today’s episode of the Only Love Today Podcast, Megan sits down with Colorado worship leader, pastor’s wife, and mom of four Kristen Christy to talk about the beauty and strength found in simply doing the next right thing. Kristen shares honestly about motherhood in the midst of toddlers and teens, the impact of loss, serving together as a family, and how surrendering control opens the door for God’s grace to fill our everyday lives.

    Kristen invites moms to release the pressure of perfection, lean into their limitations, and trust God with what’s right in front of them. This conversation is a gentle encouragement to surrender, slow down, and pay attention to the holy work happening inside our everyday lives.

    Whether you’re in a season of overwhelm or the mundane feels endless, this episode will remind you that every small yes to God matters — and that He meets you right where you are.

    037- Beth Meverden- Raising Kids Who Love Jesus and Won't Leave His Church
    Dec 15 2025
    Are you ever afraid you are not doing enough to help your kids love Jesus and stay connected to His church?In this episode, I talk with Bible teacher, author, and family ministry leader Beth Meverden about motherhood, ministry, church hurt, and what it really looks like to spiritually train our kids at home AND at church.Beth shares from her book Church(ing) Kids and from nearly three decades in youth ministry. She explains why so many kids drift from the church after graduation, why discipleship has to start in the home, and how moms can model faith, invite hard questions, and intentionally train their kids in everyday life, not just in church programs.If you are listening and thinking, “I want to disciple my kids, but I am not even sure what my gifts are,” start here.👉 Take my free Spiritual Gifts Quiz to discover how God uniquely designed you and how your gifts can show up in your home, your church, and your community. 📺 Watch on YouTube @onlylovetodaymomIf this encourages you, please:⭐ Hit follow or subscribe on your podcast app💬 Leave a quick rating and review so more Christian moms can find this showBeth’s Resources🌐 Website: https://bethmeverden.com📖 Book: Church(ing) Kids by Beth Meverden Weekly devotional blog for parents: linked on her website “How to Share the Good News of Jesus with Your Children” free resourceOther Resources We Mentioned🎵 Seeds Family Worship for scripture based worship songs for kids and families: https://www.seedsfamilyworship.com🧠 Axis for help having hard cultural and faith conversations with teens: https://axis.org📚 The Jesus Storybook Bible📚 Hands On Bible for elementary kids📚 Life Application Study Bible, NLTIf this episode was helpful, you will love these other conversations:Episode 36: 💪 Physical Strength, Mental Strength, and Motherhood with Lindsey BomgrenEpisode 31: Nurturing God-given Gifts and Entrepreneurship in Your Kids with Jenn WrightTAKEAWAYSYou are still one of the top influences in your child’s life, even in the teen years.Youth ministry and church programs are helpful, but they cannot replace discipleship that starts in the home.There is a big difference between teaching and training.Teaching is information.Training is modeling, coaching, and empowering your kids to live it out.👀 Many kids leave the church because they never saw faith modeled at home, never learned to serve, and were trained to be spectators instead of participants.🛟 Your home can be a safe place for hard questions. You do not have to have all the answers. You can be calm, honest, and point your kids to Jesus.🧰 Training kids to serve in church builds a “church skill set” so they know how to plug into a local body when they are adults.🙏 It is never too late to start spiritual training. Moms and grandmas can keep praying, keep loving, and keep pointing their kids and grandkids to Jesus.Time Stamps00:00 Navigating Motherhood and Ministry06:03 The Importance of Community in Faith08:55 Addressing Church Hurt and Finding Healing11:55 Discipleship: Training Children in Faith14:56 Balancing Family and Ministry Responsibilities17:05 Beth's Journey: From Youth Ministry to Empowering Parents19:27 Surrendering to a Higher Calling21:25 Empowering Teens Through Faith22:53 The Importance of Home Discipleship24:57 Reasons for Disengagement from Faith29:33 The Role of Church in Spiritual Growth32:30 Navigating Faith and Free Will35:54 Creating a Safe Space for Questions39:14 Empowering Parenting and Discipleship41:51 The Importance of a Relationship with Jesus43:50 Four Keys to Spiritual Training48:49 Encouraging Church Involvement and Service52:53 Practical Steps for Intentional Discipleshipmotherhood, ministry, family, discipleship, church, education, parenting, faith, community, spiritual training, church hurt, youth ministry, spiritual gifts, Bible reading for kids, Christian mom, Christian parenting, home discipleship, family ministry, spiritual formation for children
