Everyday Faith with Kate & Matt Parker

mercredi 12 novembre 2025 • Durée 46:18

Kate and Matt believe they are normal people. Matt knows how to slot motorway bridges into place and Kate is a medical engineer who can juggle twins. Their super power is that they are trying to reach neighbours, colleagues and not-yet-friends with the good news of Jesus.

We hear the stories of frightening five year olds doing forceful evangelism and little one's praying over friends in the classroom. There is a ton of top tips including Amy saying it's alright just to sob at the school gate, Kate finding a better use for the class WhatsApp group and Matt being bold every Monday morning.

In short, none of them are confident, but all of them are trusting Jesus to bring the miracles. We can all be normal families who bumble along taking every opportunity for the King.

Doing Halloween for Christ with Nay Dawson

mercredi 29 octobre 2025 • Durée 36:51

Join Ed, Amy and Nay Dawson as they talk through a Christian approach to Halloween for parents. We can use Halloween as an opportunity to talk to our children about fearless faith, living distinctively and loving generously. It is also the one time when our community knocks on our door. How can we love them, offer them something of Christ without compromising our deep conviction that Christ is the light of the world?

People:

Ed Drew - Director of Faith in Kids
Amy Smith – Writer for Faith in Kids
Nay Dawson - Nay is the founder of Passion for Evangelism. PfE exists to empower, encourage, and equip women to share the good news of Jesus with God-given confidence and creativity.

Quote from Nay:

“It may well be that we don’t trick or treat ourselves. My two daughters get really scared of that kind of stuff. But we were so busy last year. All we were doing was constantly filling up this box to give away ‘gift bags of light’. If you’re unconvinced, go back to Scripture to see what is says about being light of the world, and if Jesus is the light of the world, we have this incredible opportunity to bring light into darkness and point to the light on this dark night.”

If you have any questions or comments, please get in touch with us at podcast@faithinkids.org. We won't read out your emails on the podcast if you don't want us to, but we'd love to hear your stories and feedback. We would love to speak to some families or share your stories on social media, be brave and get in touch!

Genuinely, we love hearing from folks, and helps us feel less like we are speaking into the void - do send us a friendly hello on email or socials, it might just make our day!

The Ed & Amy Interview #1 | Part 1

Épisode 134

mardi 5 août 2025 • Durée 42:14

In this two-part episode of the Faith in Parents podcast, something a little different happens… Ed and Amy find themselves on the other side of the conversation!

They’re joined by Jason, who brings the real-time wonderings of a parent trying to figure it all out. How do we help our kids with friendships? What does it look like to talk about Jesus at home? And what do we do with the guilt when it feels like we’re not getting it right?

Across these two episodes, Ed and Amy reflect on their own parenting journeys — what’s been hard, what’s surprised them, and how they’ve kept going with Jesus through it all. It’s a conversation full of honesty, wisdom, and grace.

Expect encouragement, a few laughs, and a reminder that however it’s going, you are still God’s Plan A for your kids.

People:

Ed Drew - Director of Faith in Kids

Amy Smith - Writer for Faith in Kids

Jason Heron - Digital Lead at Faith in Kids, an ordained minister with the Elim Pentecostal Church, and co-host of The Parenting Tools Podcast.
