Biblically Communicating With Our Children

Biblically Communicating With Our Children

Author: Marci Ferrell: Christian Homemaker, Wife, Mother and Grandmother September 8, 2025 Duration: 15:58
Biblical communication isn’t just about getting our children to listen or obey—it’s about shepherding their hearts. It’s discipleship. This episode is for every parent or grandparent who has ever struggled to know what to say, how to say it, or when to say it. We’re looking at what it means to communicate with grace, listen with patience, and speak the truth in love—whether with toddlers, teens, or adult children. God has given us the beautiful calling of pointing our children to Christ—and one of the most powerful tools He’s given us to do that is our words.

In the everyday rhythms of homemaking, where faith meets the practical tasks of family life, Thankful Homemaker: A Christian Homemaking Podcast offers a space for genuine conversation. Hosted by Marci Ferrell, who draws from her own journey as a wife, mother, and grandmother, this podcast is less about presenting perfect methods and more about sharing grace-filled perspectives. You'll hear discussions rooted in scripture, exploring how biblical truth directly shapes the challenges and joys found in managing a home, nurturing relationships, and personal spiritual growth. Each episode feels like a thoughtful chat with a friend who understands that this calling is both deeply ordinary and profoundly sacred. The aim is to move beyond surface-level tips to consider how our faith informs everything from daily routines to heart attitudes, fostering a sense of shared purpose and resilience. This is for any woman seeking authentic, gospel-driven encouragement, reminding us that our work within the walls of our homes is meaningful and seen. Tune in for a podcast that consistently points back to the foundation of thankfulness and trust in God's guidance for every aspect of life.
