“In today’s day and age- our kids can just ask AI “what does God look like?” and get an actual picture- is it accurate? NO! But so many things are being defined for our kids- how do we show them that following God/knowing Him is worth it and an adventure worth going on?!” - CCF Parent

We are so excited to have Abby and Alicia from No Heart Left Behind on the podcast today. A good podcast with lots of good insight. They really have a focus -- like us -- of getting to the core issues in the heart of the parent and the heart of a child. We talked a lot first about the parent and then about the child. With the parent, we also talked about how to change our own heart through walking with Jesus and the role of friends/small groups in our lives.
With the kids, they talked a lot about helping the child feel like the matter to the parents. Difference between love and mattering. Also, she said three keys: Significance, belonging, security. We dove deep into topics like connection, time and relationship. Talked about building our core and then helping our kids build their core.

It’s the end of summer BUT the beginning of Fall! As we start the Fall, we wanted to highlight the 2024 Olympics and how it brings family together. The inspiration of hard work and celebration of wins is exciting! Our family loves competition and it has unified us throughout the years. Sports, we believe, are a way to win at family –it brings out our character (good and bad!) and forces us to be refined.
But if your family isn’t into sports- don't turn this podcast off! We are using the Olympics as an example of the power of training + winning. We want to help your family WIN this Fall.
Do you want to WIN at family? We believe you can “get the gold” this Fall with every relationship in your family. This podcast gives you practical takeaways to start building your best family today!

Welcome to summer 2024 – there will never be another summer like this one. Your kids will never be this age, your family season will never be like this again and we want to use this special summer season to do some building.
We are devoting the summer to building faith, connecting with family, and making every day intentional and FUN!
If this is something you want – then the next 6 podcasts are for you! We are launching the series today and we will release 1 episode every other week until late August.
Each week we will share a new way to build your family’s faith and strengthen the relational lines within the family. Our relationship with Jesus is the cornerstone to all other relational lines within family! He helps us know how to love each other best!
We intentionally slow down our podcasts in the summertime because it allows families to rest, enjoy each other, and practice the concepts we unpack over a few weeks!
Main Ideas from this episode:
Stick with us this summer as we practice sparking faith in our family - one day at a time!
