Today we welcome Melinda Poling to the show to discuss the "With Me" parenting strategy for discipleship. This strategy is a way to do life together as a family, investing in our children's character and spiritual development with intentionality and joy, resulting in strong family bonds and strong kids in every developmental stage. Listen in as Melinda shares heartwarming stories, along with practical advice for implementing this practice in your home!

Melinda is a ministry team leader in her church, an active apologetics coach, speaker, pastor’s wife, and the mother of eight sons and one daughter, and seven grandchildren. Melinda delights in bringing Christ to the center of any conversation or story by engaging hearts. She has aired on various podcasts, been published in magazines, and her fiction has made her an Award winner in both the Cascade and the ACFW Kidlit contest. She and her husband enjoy country life and educating their youngest two children at home, praying daily to finish strong.  She also runs a small business with her children, raising chocolate and silver Labs.
