Hey friend,

If you’ve ever wondered how to teach your kids about God in a way that actually sticks, this episode is for you. 

On today’s episode, I sit down with Amanda K. Jass about how to make faith simple, engaging, and meaningful for kids without it feeling like a checklist. 

We dive into: 
 Why your story matters 
How to have deeper conversations with your kids
 How spiritual growth often happens for us as parents right alongside them. 

This conversation will encourage you, equip you, and remind you that you don’t have to do this perfectly; you just have to start. 

Trust me, this one will meet you right where you are.

And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss a single episode!

Xo,

Donna

If you’ve ever had a conversation where you’ve walked away thinking, “Wow! That was just what I needed”, you know you felt encouraged, learned a thing or two, laughed, and maybe even felt a bit challenged.

Author, national speaker, and pastor’s wife, Donna Jones provides life-giving “that’s just what I needed” conversations to help you know, love, and follow God in the midst of real-life--the one with daily demands and crazy cultural chaos. Sometimes she’ll welcome a guest we can learn from; sometimes the conversation will be just her and you.

 But, Donna’s hope is that each conversation will be exactly what you need.
