The power of family meetings with Steph and Trevor Thurling

The Christian Parenting Podcast - Motherhood, Teaching kids about Jesus, Intentional parenting, Raising Christian kids

This week’s episode is extra special as I’m joined by my husband, Trevor, to share how family meetings have transformed our parenting and family life. From improving communication to empowering our kids, family meetings have become a key tool in creating a supportive and faith-centered home.

Here’s what you’ll hear in today’s episode:

• Regular family discussions help parents and kids stay connected and on the same page.
• Involving children in activities like meal planning and decision-making gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility.
• Keeping family meetings short, focused, and consistent builds trust and strengthens family bonds.
• Remember, God sees you as capable and worthy of the parenting role you’ve been given.

This episode is full of practical tips and encouragement for prioritizing family time. I hope it inspires you to try family meetings in your home!
