For Home & Heaven
Raising Kids Close to Creation | Parenting with Faith on the Homestead | For Home & Heaven Ep. 4
Parenting in today’s world isn’t easy—but there’s something sacred about raising kids with dirt under their nails and truth in their hearts.
In this episode of For Home & Heaven, we explore what it means to raise children close to creation—where faith, farm life, and family all become part of the classroom. From toddler tantrums in the chicken coop to heartfelt prayers over the garden, we share the messy, beautiful lessons we’re learning in this season of parenthood.
You’ll hear:
🌱 How chores, seasons, and animals help shape character
😮💨 The hard stuff: exhaustion, overwhelm, and unmet expectations
📖 How Scripture shapes our parenting (Proverbs 22:6 + Philippians 2:15)
🌟 Why the goal isn’t perfect kids—but pointing them to a perfect God
Homesteading isn’t just how we feed our family. It’s how we form them. Whether you live on acreage or in an apartment, this conversation is for any parent trying to raise kids anchored in truth and wonder.
