Parent Forward: Where Parenting Meets Spiritual Formation
with Julie Ann Luse
Parenting is more than managing behavior — it’s sacred, formative work.
Parent Forward invites you to see raising kids through a new lens: as a holy journey of becoming, both for your children and for you. Join longtime ministry leader, mother of three, and spiritual formation guide Julie Ann Luse as she explores the everyday moments of parenting through the lens of faith, neuroscience, and soul-deep connection.
Through personal stories, research-backed insights, and biblical wisdom, Julie Ann helps parents move beyond quick fixes and behavior charts to embrace the slow, beautiful work of forming souls — including their own. Every episode offers gentle encouragement, honest reflections, and practical steps to help you cultivate a spiritually nurturing home where love, grace, and presence shape the next generation.
If you’re longing for deeper connection, tired of parenting tips that miss the heart, and hungry to weave your faith naturally into daily family life — Parent Forward is for you.
It’s not about perfection.
It’s not about performance.
It’s about becoming — one faithful step at a time.

Scripture: Isaiah 9:2, 6–7
Advent is beautiful, but it can also feel heavy.
If you’re stepping into December already tired, carrying invisible weight, or feeling like wonder is out of reach, this episode is a gentle place to land.
In this first week of the Advent series Light in the Low Places, Julie invites you into a slower, more honest kind of preparation, one that welcomes your grief, exhaustion, longing, and hope. Together we explore why the holidays often feel heavier than we expected, how our bodies respond to cultural pressure, and the quiet assurance that God draws near to weary people first.
If you don’t feel ready, spiritual, or “in the Christmas spirit” — you are not behind.
You are exactly where Emmanuel loves to arrive.
