Hey friend,

If you’ve ever wondered how to teach your kids about God in a way that actually sticks, this episode is for you.

On today’s episode, I sit down with Amanda K. Jass about how to make faith simple, engaging, and meaningful for kids without it feeling like a checklist.

We dive into:

Why your story matters
How to have deeper conversations with your kids
How spiritual growth often happens for us as parents right alongside them.

This conversation will encourage you, equip you, and remind you that you don’t have to do this perfectly; you just have to start.

Trust me, this one will meet you right where you are.

And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode!

Xo,

Donna

Donna’s Resources:

Order a copy of my latest book -

Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life: A Biblical Guide to Communicating Thoughts, Feelings, and Opinions with Grace, Truth, and Zero Regret.

It is available anywhere books are sold– here is the link on Amazon.

If you need a helpful resource for someone exploring faith and Christianity or simply want to strengthen your own knowledge, you’ll want a copy of my book, Seek: A Woman’s Guide to Meeting God.

It’s a must for seekers, new believers, and those who want to deepen their confidence in their faith.
