3 Tips for Quiet Time with Kids at Home

Do you have a consistent habit of spending time with God? It can be so hard to do with kids at home. Yet, Deuteronomy 6:5-7 shows us that discipling our children starts with us loving God.

It is from that love of God that our teaching, discipling, and nurturing the faith of our children flows. Otherwise, you will be trying to work for God instead of with him. This leads to burnout and your kids seeing through the inauthenticity.

Here are 3 tips to help Christian mamas to spend time with Jesus and enjoy it!

You’ve got the Holy Spirit! You can do it, mama!

Playfully Faithful Parenting: Encouraging Christian Mamas to Disciple & Discipline with Play & Joy
Are you teaching facts or faith?

In this episode of Playfully Faithful Parenting, we dive into the important distinction between teaching kids Biblical facts and nurturing their faith. Through my experience as a mother, children's minister, and seminary graduate, I explore how simple questions, like the number of loaves and fishes, might build knowledge but not necessarily foster a deep, personal relationship with God. I share insights from language learning and ministry to illustrate how we can move beyond memorization to encourage our children to truly engage with and wonder about Bible stories. Join me as I discuss how to inspire your kids to grow in their faith through curiosity and relationships, and make faith a playful, heartfelt journey.

You’ve got the Holy Spirit! You can do it, mama!

Playfully Faithful Parenting: Encouraging Christian Mamas to Disciple & Discipline with Play & Joy
Responding to Children's Misbehavior with Kindness and Self-Control


Many Christian mothers struggle with their reactions to their children's misbehavior, often responding with anger, frustration, or harsh discipline. This inconsistency between their faith values and parenting practices can lead to guilt, damaged relationships, ineffective discipline, and impact their child's faith. The podcast addresses how moms can align their responses to misbehavior with their Christian beliefs, focusing on self-regulation, gentleness, and modeling Christ's love, even in challenging moments. It explores the biblical perspective on discipline and offers practical strategies for moms to cultivate a more grace-filled, spiritually-grounded approach to guiding their children's behavior.

Christie Thomas’s new book, Little Habits, Big Faith is a great resource for growing in confidence in your ability to disciple your child. Learn more about this book and check out the links below to grab it from Amazon.

Christie’s Bio:

After getting a BSc in Biology, Christie spent her entire adult working life in Children's Ministries until, a few years ago, God called her home to educate her three boys and to run Little Shoots, Deep Roots.

Playfully Faithful Parenting: Encouraging Christian Mamas to Disciple & Discipline with Play & Joy
PFP 194 | Exploring Play as a Discipline Tool in Parenting | Is Play Rewarding Bad Behavior?

Welcome back to another episode of Playfully Faithful Parenting with your host, Joy Wendling. Today, we're diving into the often misunderstood role of play in discipline. Many parents perceive play as inappropriate during moments of misbehavior or power struggles. But what if there's a better way? Drawing insights from Lawrence Cohen's "Playful Parenting" and Jim and Lynn Jackson's "Discipline That Connects With Your Child's Heart," Joy explores how playful discipline can transform power struggles into opportunities for connection and growth. Discover why play is not a reward but a powerful tool to reinforce love, understanding, and the fruit of the Spirit in your parenting journey. Let's redefine discipline together and see how you can be equipped to handle those challenging moments with grace and playfulness. 

You’ve got the Holy Spirit! You can do it, mama!
