We want to give our kids a full picture of God’s love for them every day! But some days, it’s really hard! We are stretched thin, tired, and often feel unequipped. The Christian Parenting Podcast gives parents the space and resources to set aside perfection and grow into the perfectly imperfect parents God made them to be. Join host Steph Thurling and her guests as they discuss practical tips and spiritual guidance for your parenting journey.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-09T16:17:38.003519+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-christian-parenting-podcast-motherhood-teaching-kids-about-jesus-intentional-parenting-raising-christian-kids-5984366"},"episode":{"title":"A Christmas reflection for parents","slug":"a-christmas-reflection-for-parents","published_at":"2025-12-23T07:00:34+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-christian-parenting-podcast-motherhood-teaching-kids-about-jesus-intentional-parenting-raising-christian-kids-5984366/a-christmas-reflection-for-parents","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-christian-parenting-podcast-motherhood-teaching-kids-about-jesus-intentional-parenting-raising-christian-kids-5984366","url":"https://www.christianparenting.org/podcast/the-christian-parenting-podcast/a-christmas-reflection-for-parents","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/cohst.app/pdcst/7I2O4O/audio4.redcircle.com/episodes/1bdbce3a-b442-4f82-8692-6739301c51e5/stream.mp3","summary":"Hey Friends! I’ve never done a solo episode before, but Christmas felt like the right time to try. In the middle of a season that can feel loud, full, emotional, and a little overwhelming, this episode is an invitation to take just ten minutes to pause and breathe and remember the gift that never fades. Whether your home feels busy and chaotic or quiet and tender this year, remember Emmanuel, God with us. Through Scripture, simple family traditions, and honest encouragement, this episode is for weary parents who want to love their kids well and keep Jesus at the center without feeling pressure to get everything just right. With love, Steph Thurling P.S. Please consider making a year-end gift to Christian Parenting to help us create more encouraging, faith-filled podcast episodes for families in every season.
