Every Monday, host of Pardon the Mess, Courtney DeFeo shares a short prayer episode to help you pray for your kids, and this year’s series is walking through our brand-new Christian Parenting prayer journal, A Great Cloud of Witnesses. You have heard me talk about this journal before, and this is your special sneak peek!

This year’s journal takes you through the inspiring stories of the men and women in the Old and New Testaments. Each week you’ll discover how these heroes trusted God in big ways, read a short devotional, and pray intentional, Scripture-based prayers over your kids so they can grow in that same faith.

If you don’t have your copy yet, it’s not too late to jump in. You can grab yours at ChristianParenting.org and follow along with us each week. I have a link in the show notes for you.
