## Resource

As part of our Best of The Christian Parenting Podcast series, we’re revisiting some of our most helpful and encouraging conversations for families. Many parents feel the pressure to control outcomes, do everything perfectly, and make sure their kids turn out “right.” But the Christian life, and parenting within it, is ultimately a journey of trusting God. In this episode, Ruth Chou Simons shares encouragement for parents who want to root their lives and families more deeply in God’s character. We talk about why following Jesus often feels like a pilgrimage, how time in God’s Word shapes our hearts, and why releasing control and striving can open the door to deeper faith. Ruth is a bestselling author, artist, speaker, and mom of six boys. Her book Pilgrim: 25 Ways God’s Character Leads Us Onward explores how understanding who God is helps guide us forward in faith and everyday life.
