Best episodes of The Parent Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Nobody is PerfectNov 25, 2025

A quiet holiday reminder that humility matters more than outward polish.

The episode opens with a solo holiday check-in, then moves into Christmas party details for the church families before settling on Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector.

A Life of PrayerSep 16, 2025

A warm, practical prayer conversation rooted in busy everyday life.

Shawna and Bethany start in the familiar crunch of fall, with kids back in school, a new house, and ministry responsibilities all pulling at once. That ordinary overload gives the prayer conversation a grounded shape, and it keeps the focus on real life rather than abstraction.

What Is Biblical Love—And How Do We Actually Live It?May 20, 2025

Peonies, hesed, and a plainspoken case for love that reaches from Scripture into daily life.

The conversation keeps love at the center, opening with peonies, succulents, and other garden talk before moving into hesed and agape. Shawna, Bethany, and Amanda connect the fruit of the spirit to an article's description of hesed as loving kindness, devotion, mercy, strength,…

The Holy SpiritApr 10, 2025

A warm, faith-forward parent conversation about trusting the Holy Spirit in everyday discernment.

The Parent Podcast opens with Shawna and Bethany in easy banter about a scratchy voice, the weather, kids, and a lower singing range before settling into a steady discussion of trusting the Holy Spirit in parenting and discernment.

Living in Boldness – Not in Fear

A tired, honest talk about boldness that stays grounded in Scripture.

Shawna and Bethany shape a simple catch-up into a measured look at boldness: a tired parent, a pregnant host, and a people-pleaser trying to trust God without pretending the day is easy.

NH Kids & Youth Summer Update

A warm summer check-in that keeps family logistics and faith in the same room.

The Parent Podcast turns a summer check-in into a steady look at family life, ministry rhythms, and the small adjustments that come with both.
