The Monica Swanson Podcast - boy mom, build strong families, Biblical worldview, women's wellness

This is the third part of the new monthly feature on the podcast, covering the “12 Things Your Son Needs Most from You” found in my book, Boy Mom. Today I am sharing from Chapter 4 – “The Beginning of Wisdom: Nurturing Faith.” This chapter is what I would consider the heart of the book! It’s the best I have to give!

I get a lot of questions from people about what we did to raise sons who all love God and choose to follow Him, even as they launch and live independently. While I would never suggest there is a formula, I do believe there is a lot parents can do to nurture and inspire faith in our children. I hope this episode gives you some practical ideas and hope for raising your own sons to live a life of faith for all of their days!

Ep. 150: Foster the Family, with Jamie Finn

Whether or not you've ever considered being a foster family, this conversation with Jamie Finn will inspire you. Her heart for children and family is contagious and her message is for all of us.

After reading Jamie’s book, Foster the Family, I was so inspired to learn more. In today’s conversation we cover Jamie's story of becoming a foster parent and starting a super creative and brilliant ministry. I ask some total beginner questions, and Jamie so humbly answers! She is so real and honest, and so much fun. Please share this episode with your friends because we can all play a role in supporting children and families in need, and I think Jamie has some great ideas on how we might do that well.

Ep. 152: Raising Kids to be Strong and Kind, with Korie Robertson

I am so excited to be bringing back the most-downloaded episode of 2021 this week! I loved this chat with Duck Dynasty star, Korie Robertson, who has raised a number of amazing kids (her daughter, Sadie Robertson, is one of my top-recommendations for role models for young women!) I have admired Korie and her entire family for years, so this interview with a special honor!

Korie shares stories about ways she focused on character in her kids when they were growing up, and she also answers questions sent in by podcast listeners. This is a fun way to get to know Korie, and to be inspired to raise your own kids to be strong and kind!

*On this topic of kids and character, be sure you are signed up for this weekend’s Perfectly Imperfect Parenting event (all-online!) where I’ll be speaking on 3 practical ways to raise kids of character! Get tickets at boymom.perfectlyimperfect.org. Event is on April 8th but you can watch allll the amazing speakers until the end of 2022!!
