Have you ever struggled with balancing sports and church in your home? Have you ever prayed for a kid to score a goal or win a game, but wondered if that’s even the right thing to pray for? If so, you’re going to love this week’s conversation with longtime friend of the podcast, Brooke McGlothlin from Million Praying Moms! Brooke talks about her family’s journey to find balance in sports and faith, shares tips for praying for your children as they participate in athletics and other activities, and so much more!

You can connect with Brooke and find SO many resources for praying for your kids at https://www.millionprayingmoms.com/

In our conversation we also mention Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which you can find at https://www.fca.org/

Have you ever heard of prayer-focused mentoring? We hadn’t! But it sounded right up our alley, so we invited Nancy Lindgren to join us on the Praying Christian Women podcast to talk about it. Nancy is the founder and CEO of MORE Mentoring whose mission is mobilizing mentors to impact lives through prayer-focused mentoring and author of "Mentoring Made Real - The Power of Authentic Connection." In our conversation, Nancy talks about some barriers that keep women from mentor relationships, some of the surprising benefits of mentoring, and how prayer-focused mentoring works (and why it’s so powerful!). You won’t want to miss our discussion with Nancy! You can connect with Nancy at MoreMentoring.org

We love answering listener questions on the podcast! Today we're replying to a listener who asked about what to do when you don't feel or sense God's presence when you pray. We'd love for you to pull up a chair and join us for this "coffee break" episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast!

Have you ever been in a toxic relationship? Maybe a person comes to mind who has inappropriately latched on to your desire to help others, or even deliberately deceived you just to get attention, prayer or financial help. In this episode, we discuss several different types of toxic relationships, how to identify if you're in one, and what you can do to be the hands and feet of Jesus to a hurting world - without being taken advantage of, and while being a good steward of your limited time, energy and prayers.
