Parenting is less about control and more about faith. In this episode, discover how one mom’s trust in God shaped her son’s future, and how you can parent with faith, not fear.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed as a parent?

The truth is, none of us has all the resources or wisdom we wish we had. But God calls us to faithfulness in the little things and invites us to trust Him with the rest.

In today’s devotion, you’ll hear the story of Sonya Carson, a single mom in Detroit whose prayer for wisdom led to small but life-shaping choices that changed the trajectory of her son Ben’s life. Her story reminds us that faithful parenting isn’t about perfection; it’s about trust.

Main Scripture:

Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why parenting is less about control and more about faith
• How small, consistent choices can shape a child’s future
• A simple prayer to help you trust God with your kids

Today’s Challenge:

Pray this over your children: “Lord, help me be faithful in the little things, and help me trust You with the rest.” Then choose one small act of intentional faithfulness, read a story, pray together, or encourage them with Scripture.
