Entrusting Your Children to the Lord

15m · Miss Teacher Mom · 10 May 05:00

The temptation to control every aspect of our children’s lives is strong especially when it comes to their salvation. We long for nothing more than that they would begin walking with God at a young age and mature in their faith from that day forward, but the path is not always that smooth. So, how do we entrust them to the Lord despite our fears?

My guest today, Pastor Robert Krumrey, offers us the sweet reassurance that saving sinners is what our God is most concerned with! Robert’s own children, one of whom was especially resistant and skeptical, came to faith at different times and in different ways and he will share how to avoid comparison with other parents as well as how to resist the temptations to either give up on a child or clamp down with more control. I know you’ll be encouraged by Robert’s reminder that God is working on multiple fronts in parenting - the child’s heart and our own.


Robert has a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Seminary and is the church planter and pastor of MERCYhouse in Amherst, MA. He has been married to his wife Melanie for twenty-eight years and they have three grown kids: Kory, Cooper, and Kayla.

Women Who Surpass Them All

On this week's episode, the final episode of the Miss Teacher Mom podcast, our host Katlynne Mirabal shares how the Lord has used the podcast over this past year to shape her understanding of what it means to be a Christian mom. She reminds us that the call of the Christian is to take up our cross and follow Christ. For a mother, that may not look like martyrdom for God's Kingdom but rather a thousand deaths for His Glory and the good of her children. She exhorts us to be the best mothers we can be and gives practical examples of Christ's sanctifying work in her own life as a mom. She closes by sharing her desire for sister-moms, to surpass many excellent women by fearing God, loving your husband and children, and taking care of your home. This is missional motherhood.

Loving the Skin They're in

On this week's episode I get to talk to Aimee Gould about training our children to love who and how the Lord has made them. It's so important that we intentionally raise children to love the skin they're in before they enter a world that will tear them down, cast them out, and make them question God's good design. 

Aimee graciously shares wisdom from over two decades of parenting and shows us how we can point our kids to God's Word to help them fight envy and pride while celebrating their strengths, recognizing their weaknesses and rejoicing in how the Lord has made them and others. 

In this episode you'll be encouraged and equipped to think through what it looks like to truly love the skin you're in even as you teach your children to do the same.

Aimee Gould is the mother of four amazing (young adult) children and wife of a hardworking man.  She loves to teach and this final year of homeschooling is certainly bittersweet.  On the horizon is an encore year of directing Challenge III with Classical Conversations and looking forward to how God will continue to guide her steps.
