A (Back-to-School) Parenting Pep-Talk, with Leslie Nunnery

Your role in your kid’s life is so valuable!

I thought we could all use a little “parenting pep talk” right about now…As we wrap up a busy summer and prep for the new school year, we need reminders of how important our role is as parents, the job description God has given us, and the difference we can make in our kids’ lives through our involvement, support, and prayers.

In this episode I am chatting with Leslie Nunnery, author, podcaster, and host of the popular “Teach Them Diligently” homeschool conference. I love Leslie’s passion for parenting with strength and dignity, her commitment to God’s Word, and her sincere desire to support families!

Scriptures Mentioned:
“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.” – 2 Peter 1:3

“These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.” Deuteronomy 6:6-9

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

*Matthew 14 – the feeding of the 5000. (Jesus used people to accomplish his work!)
