Today, we’re sharing the season finale from "Gracebased Podcast" a parenting podcast that helps families build God’s design for lasting faith at home. In this episode, hosts Cody Kimmel and Greg Lunsford unpack what it really means to raise children with a servant’s heart—and why servanthood is central to authentic Christian living.
You’ll hear how modeling service at home, inviting kids into simple acts of generosity, and grounding your family in Jesus’ example can shape character for life. If you’re a parent—or someone who invests in the next generation—this conversation offers practical ways to cultivate humility, joy, and love in everyday family moments.
