3 Empowering Podcasts for Christian Moms

Mental health challenges among our kids are at an all-time high—and as parents, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in this timely and enlightening episode, Catherine goes straight to the heart of the matter: What are the greatest mental health needs of our children, and what can we actually do about them as Christian parents?

Catherine is joined by Dr. Bill Senyard, an experienced pastor, ministry founder, podcast host, and author of over a dozen books on critical topics like forgiveness and God’s love for the unlovable. Drawing from both neuroscience and biblical wisdom, Dr. Bill Senyard highlights two foundational needs every child (and parent!) has: connectedness and enoughness.

Episode Highlights


Crisis by the Numbers: Suicide and sadness are rising. Social media and shame are fueling a loneliness epidemic.


Attachment Theory & The Gospel: Dr. Bill Senyard shows how both science and Scripture agree: Every child needs unconditional connectedness and the certainty that they are enough, no matter what.


Shame vs. Security: Learn why so many kids (and adults) secretly believe God or their parents are disappointed in them—and how that undermines their mental health and relationship with God.


Attunement in Action: Discover the “drip, drip, drip” strategy—intentional, random affirmation and connection in at least one in three interactions, proven to nurture healthy brains and souls.


A Second Chance in Adolescence: Missed opportunities can be repaired! Dr. Bill Senyard explains how parents can restore connection and belonging, even after difficult seasons.


A Father’s Example: Hear the moving letter Dr. Bill Senyard wrote to his son, modeling how to declare unshakeable love and acceptance, even amid clashes and failures.

“Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her.”
— Yuri Bronfenbrenner, as quoted by Dr. Bill Senyard 

Guest Bio: Dr. Bill Senyard

Dr. Bill Senyard is a pastor, ministry leader, host of the Gospel Rant podcast, and prolific author on topics like biblical parenting, forgiveness, and God’s love. He holds advanced degrees in theology and brings decades of experience as a spiritual guide, management consultant, and innovator. His work focuses on merging cutting-edge neuroscience—especially attachment theory—with practical, biblical truth that transforms families.

What if your family could experience faith that stretches far beyond your front door—all while riding to soccer practice or gathered around the dinner table?

This week on Christian Parent/Crazy World, Catherine invites listeners into a heart-expanding conversation designed to inspire parents and kids alike to join God's great story—as it unfolds across the globe. The mission: to help families connect with the courage, compassion, and steadfast faith of believers worldwide, and to see how their own lives can make a difference right where they are.

Through captivating real-life stories—ranging from kitchens in Kenya to war-torn Ukraine—Catherine and guest Kristy Graham reveal practical ways every family can nurture a global perspective, build spiritual resilience, and become world-changers for Christ.

Meet the Guest

Kristy Graham is the host of On the Ground, a podcast from Samaritan’s Purse that takes listeners straight to the heart of God’s work in the world. A mother of four navigating life at the crossroads of parenting and international ministry, Kristy weaves together firsthand reports from refugee camps, surgery wards, and disaster response teams, making global transformation tangible for every family. With years of service alongside her husband Edward Graham (of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse), she stands as an authentic voice encouraging parents to raise kids with wide-open eyes, anchored in a big, bold faith.

In This Episode


Why stories of sacrifice and courage from places like Sudan, Kenya, and Ukraine can anchor your family’s faith—and how to bring those stories into everyday life


The Amani Ya Juu Project: How women escaping tragedy sew brokenness into celebration and “peace from above”—and how their journey can encourage both parents and kids


Children’s Heart Project: The ripple-effect of transforming lives—how a single surgery can change an entire community


An Unforgettable Testimony: A missionary pilot held hostage whose story of compassion and hope will keep your whole family riveted


Practical ways to model compassion, perspective, and obedience—whether you’re a nurse, a catering manager, or teaching kindness at your kitchen sink


Why every family can be part of the Great Commission—right from home

Notable Quote:

“Even if we aren’t getting what we want, we’re getting what we need. The Lord is with us. His presence is…enough.” — Kristy Graham

Stepping Outside the American Bubble to See God at Work (w/ Kristy Graham ) - Ep. 184

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/7936b0f0-da84-4b56-9c89-b446002010ca/transcript

What if the world measured motherhood, not by perfection or public acclaim, but by quiet courage, surrender, and faith? In this heartfelt Mother’s Day episode of Christian Parent Crazy World, Catherine invites celebrated author and mentor Rhonda Stoppe to lift the veil on the real stories of the moms of the Bible—fearless, flawed, faithful, and sometimes forgotten women whose lives still shape generations.

Drawing from her acclaimed new book, Moms of the Bible: Life Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed, and Faithful, Rhonda Stoppe brings wisdom honed by decades of ministry, parenting, and podcasting (Old Ladies Know Stuff). Together, Catherine and Rhonda Stoppe explore what it means to mother in a world obsessed with perfection, reminding listeners that God’s view of motherhood is radically different—and infinitely more freeing.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode

God Sees and Honors Moms—Even When No One Else Does
Scripture overflows with stories of mothers just like you—women who wrestled, wept, waited, and worshiped as God unfolded His plans in unexpected ways. While culture often dismisses the daily work of mothering as mundane or menial, Catherine and Rhonda Stoppe reveal how the Bible places immense value on those unseen acts of love and faithfulness.

From Mary’s Brave Surrender to Rebecca’s Mistakes


Hear how Mary, the mother of Jesus, chose courageous “yes” in the face of misunderstanding and rejection, modeling trust in God’s unseen plans.


Explore Rebecca’s story—a tale of good intentions gone awry as she tries to “help” God’s promises along, unleashing sibling rivalry and a generational legacy.


Learn that God works through flawed, real women, not perfect ones, and that repentance and humility write a new story for us and our children.

The Power and Danger of Partiality


Rhonda Stoppe uncovers the lasting damage of favoritism in families, drawing from biblical narratives and honest reflections on her own upbringing.


Listeners are encouraged to honestly assess their parenting, seek God’s agape love, and pursue forgiveness and restoration when favoritism has taken root.

When You Feel like the Mom with No Name


Sometimes, a mother’s extraordinary impact is never recognized by the world—or even, at times, by her own children.


The story of David’s unnamed mother powerfully affirms the kingdom value of unseen, faithful work.


“The influence of unnamed mothers has shaped nations, inspired leaders, nurtured artists and motivated ordinary children to accomplish extraordinary achievements.” – Rhonda Stoppe

Real Talk: Healing from Deep Wounds


In a moving post-interview segment, Rhonda Stoppe addresses the pain of those raised by abusive mothers through the biblical story of Herodias and her daughter, offering hope, the necessity of Christ-centered forgiveness, and the invitation to seek healing through biblical counseling.

Why This Matters

In a culture that honors mothers with a day, but often disenfranchises the work of motherhood, this episode re-centers the sacredness, complexity, and generational reach of a mother’s influence. Catherine and Rhonda Stoppe invite you to see your mothering through the eyes of God—full of purpose, dignity, and hope.

About the Guest

Rhonda Stoppe is a bestselling author, speaker, mom of four, and grandmother of fifteen. Known for her practical wisdom and biblical insight, Rhonda is host of the Old Ladies Know Stuffpodcast and beloved mentor to moms and grandmothers across the nation. Her books, including Moms Raising Sons to Be Menand Real Life Romance, equip Christian families for generational impact.

Reflect & Respond

Which mom’s story resonated most with you—fearless Mary, flawed Rebecca, faithful Hannah, or a nameless mother who faithfully packed lunches and taught quietly in her home? What might change in your parenting if you saw yourself as called and seen by God, not defined by comparison or invisibility?

Notable takeaway:

“God doesn’t need perfection. He’s just looking for surrender. He works through the ordinary, the overlooked, and, yes, even the messy moments of motherhood to accomplish His extraordinary plans.” — Catherine

 

Call to Action:
This week, seek out a godly mentor—or encourage another mom who might feel forgotten. Your story matters. Your daily yes to God matters. How will you step boldly into your unique season of motherhood, trusting that God shapes generations through faithful, ordinary women?

Listen now and be refreshed—motherhood, in all its mess and glory, is sacred work in the hands of God.
