Hey friend,

If you’ve ever wondered how to teach your kids about God in a way that actually sticks, this episode is for you.

On today’s episode, I sit down with Amanda K. Jass about how to make faith simple, engaging, and meaningful for kids without it feeling like a checklist.

We dive into:

Why your story matters
How to have deeper conversations with your kids
How spiritual growth often happens for us as parents right alongside them.

This conversation will encourage you, equip you, and remind you that you don’t have to do this perfectly; you just have to start.

Trust me, this one will meet you right where you are.

And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode!

Xo,

Donna
