Join host Tanya Gioia as she welcomes Jennifer Bosma, Christian children's book author and host of the Front Parking Spot Podcast (ranked in the top 100 Christian family podcasts). In this encouraging conversation, Jennifer shares her unique "front parking spot" philosophy rooted in Ephesians 3:20 - that God wants to do "exceedingly abundantly more than you can desire or imagine."

Discover practical parenting wisdom for Christian mothers, including:

• How to model faith authentically for your children through daily prayer and Scripture
• Communication strategies that bring calm to heated moments with defiant children
• The power of vulnerability and apologizing to your kids when you mess up
• Moving from "you" statements to "I feel" statements to defuse conflict
• Teaching children to pray without ceasing through everyday moments
• Creating accountability and community as a foundation for Christian parenting

Jennifer shares her journey from overwhelmed mom of three young children to author of inspiring children's books that help families share Jesus together. Whether you're dealing with addiction in your family, raising challenging children, or simply trying to find your identity in Christ while parenting, this episode offers hope and practical tools.

Are you caught in the chaos of addiction, constantly cleaning up emotional, spiritual, and physical messes that aren't yours? Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.

Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.

Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.

Blessings,

Tanya Gioia 🌸
