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.

In this episode, Simone shares the story of hearing God’s call at age 20 and turning a $500 fundraising effort into a thriving nonprofit that provides education, nutrition, and holistic support to hundreds of children in Nakaseke, Uganda. Expect candid testimony about walking with chronic illness (rheumatoid arthritis and lupus nephritis), navigating medical school and residency with her husband, and adopting two sons through private adoptions after a long infertility journey. Simone explains how Simone’s Kids operates — a fully funded primary school of about 300 students, a high school serving around 370 students with vocational training to increase sustainability, and 37 scholarship university students — and how discipleship, local leadership, and dignity-focused programs confront spiritual and cultural challenges on the ground. Key moments include stories of God’s provision (board members and staff stepping in at crucial times), practical advice for faith-based moms trying to balance home and calling (including her quote: “You don’t have to choose between being faithful at home and your calling. God knows how to have you carry both.”), and vivid examples of the ministry’s impact: vocational graduates creating livelihoods, the peace of the campus, and how discipleship meets real spiritual needs. What to expect: inspiration, practical leadership insight for sustaining cross-cultural ministries, honest conversation about health and motherhood, and ways listeners can connect with and support Simone’s Kids via the website Simone’s Kids – We give our students hope for the future. and on Instagram @simoneskids Dona…","meta_description":"Join Jennifer Bosma as she interviews Simone Puccinelli, founder and president of Simone’s Kids, about a life led by faith, obedience, and practical leade…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1712,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/front-parking-spot-podcast-praying-moms-raising-christian-families-in-today-s-world-6815522/episodes/134-you-don-t-have-to-choose-balancing-motherhood-and-mission-with-simone-puccinelli/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/front-parking-spot-podcast-praying-moms-raising-christian-families-in-today-s-world-6815522/134-you-don-t-have-to-choose-balancing-motherhood-and-mission-with-simone-puccinelli.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
