Description

Are kids allowed to pray for skittles? How about praying for mosquitoes to go away? What exactly constitutes prayer for children?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Steph Thurling and Sarah Holmstrom—two passionate moms, ministry leaders, and the authors of the book Raising Prayerful Kids.

If you’ve ever wondered how to get kids comfortable with prayer (or how to jump in now if you didn’t start when they were small), you’ll find inspiration, creative ideas, and plenty of reassurance from Sarah and Steph.

So grab your gardening gloves (metaphorically speaking), and let's dig into a conversation about cultivating a life of prayer in your home!
