Have you been concerned with the world your child is growing up in regarding media, politics, and social agendas? Do you want to learn ways to have direction over your child’s spiritual growth? Interested in being the best wife and mom you can be, all while enjoying life? I have discovered many ways to help Christian moms navigate these concerns of faith, family, and life, which are all included in this podcast. I’m Jennifer Bosma, and I’m so excited that you are here on my Front Parking Spot podcast. I vividly remember what it felt like to have those concerns over my family, how to grow my faith, and learn scripture promises, all while navigating life, JOYFULLY! I sometimes felt like I was swimming upstream in a culture that doesn’t honor tried and true biblical principles based on Jesus. My 23 years of teaching elementary school to over 500 children, guiding parents and kids in their educational journey, coupled with decades of biblical study, and being the author of three Christian children’s books, brings me here to help you with your concerns over your Christian family.

Jennifer introduces the Dentons, empty nesters who launched their own podcast after their daughter left for college and now share candid stories about reconnecting as a couple, embracing new adventures, and building community in this vibrant season of life. In this episode, they cover practical parenting wisdom for every stage: how to be honest with your children at their level (from questions about babies to Santa), the art of parenting from a distance as kids head to college and shifting your role from director to coach by asking more questions and offering guidance without taking over. They share a real freshman-roommate challenge that illustrates when to step back, when to offer ideas, and how trust built earlier makes tough conversations possible. The conversation also includes concrete advice for young parents—don’t pull away too early, invest in your teenagers while you still have them at home, and give kids enough freedom to learn from mistakes without causing permanent harm. For parents with college-age or returned adult children, the Dentons emphasize setting clear expectations and boundaries when kids come home and negotiating a respectful rhythm for household life. For empty-nesters, Rick and Clancy stress intentionality: create new community (they started an Empty Nest Life Group), say “yes” to new experiences (travel, classes, activities), revive hobbies you enjoyed as a couple, schedule regular date nights, and dream together about the future. Their encouragement to model a joyful marriage and remain intentional about connection is woven throughout the episode.
