  • Grounded in truth!

    As a biblical counselor I’m always looking for helpful resources that point to the truth. This podcast has been an amazing resource for me as I navigate parenting my own children and seek to help others to lean into Jesus for strength for each new day! Thank you for all of the great resources!!!!!!

  • One of the BEST VOICES out there in the parenting space!

    I have followed Connected Families blog and podcast for several years now. I am homeschooling two active, spirited, sensitive and possibly neurodivergent kids, one of whom is entering the tween years. I have no doubt that if I had not found the wisdom and balanced teaching shared by this ministry, I would have resigned myself to repeating the fear and force based “discipline” of my own generation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Where to Find Parenting Support That Actually Helps
Q: Okay, what courses do you have and what are they? Do I have to lead a lot of discussion or the video?
There are seven premium courses, each with a small group leader guide; courses mix videos with discussions, and leaders get a guide to help structure sessions. Some courses also include a small group training video and promotional materials to help run the group effectively.
Parenting a Neurodivergent Child: How to Advocate at School
Q: Could you explain the difference between a medical/psychoeducational diagnosis and an IEP, and how they work together with schools?
The process varies by child, but often a psychoeducational evaluation leads to formal recommendations that can be incorporated into an IEP or 504 plan; having a clear, concise summary helps the school understand the child's needs and obtain the appropriate supports.
Dads, You’re Not Alone: How to Stay Calm When Parenting is Hard | Ep. 304
Q: What caused you to rethink your approach when your child lashed out or was overwhelmed?
The hosts and guests describe using the Connected Families framework to diagnose their own intensity, shift from correction to connection, and intentionally move toward the child with safety and calm, recognizing that fear in the child signals the need for a closer, more compassionate presence.
Sibling Competition and Bedtime Chaos: Hear from the cf community
Q: What practical steps can Sam take to improve bedtime routines with multiple kids while maintaining connection?
Bekah and Jared recommend staggering bedtimes, assigning roles to children, creating routines with lite competition or cooperation, and ensuring parent connection (back rubs, prayers, stories) remains central.
Sibling Competition and Bedtime Chaos: Hear from the cf community
Q: What are some ideas for how to foster growth in that dynamic of competition while keeping it healthy?
Bekah suggests keeping competition low stakes, modeling healthy attitudes, planning ahead, and using reflective conversations outside of heated moments to reinforce wisdom and humility in children.
