    As a mother of four in a blended family, I appreciate the deeper look into the nature of parenting and its connection to salvation for ourselves and our children. The practical advice given by the guests, along with the external resources available for parents, make this podcast an essential addition to any Orthodox parent’s podcast library. Highly recommended!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Stay Peaceful When Life Feels Chaotic With Dr. Philip Mamalakis
Q: How can I best support my daughter who is interested in Orthodoxy while she's studying at college and coming from a Protestant background?
Lead with curiosity and collaboration: ask what she's thinking and learning, discuss what she reads together, and avoid trying to control her choices. Help connect her to knowledgeable people (priest, parish resources) and approach conversations as a learning journey rather than a battle, staying open to her perspective while gently guiding with shared Orthodox viewpoints.
What Should Orthodox Parents Let Their Kids Watch? With Paul and Cindy Karos
Q: How do we build real conviction in kids instead of just compliance when we've said no to many things?
Explain the reasons behind the limits, validate their feelings, and walk with them through alternatives and shared activities to build trust and internalized discernment.
Loving a Child Through a Medical Crisis Part 2 With Elias & Joy Hajjar
Q: What pearls of wisdom would you offer to a parent in the hospital right now?

What Your Marriage Is Teaching Your Kids With Paul & Karen Kinan
Q: What would you do differently if you could go back?
Be more present with the children, reduce distractions, and be intentional about morning prayers and Sunday church participation.
What Your Marriage Is Teaching Your Kids With Paul & Karen Kinan
Q: Did you ever feel underqualified to raise your kids in the faith?
Yes. The kids often know more theology than the parents, so the strategy is to learn together and grow in faith as a family.
