ABOUT THIS EPISODE
You’re on a marriage journey with your spouse, but for many of you, you’re also on a parenting journey. It’s one thing to keep God at the center of your marriage, but it can be another thing to disciple your children alongside your spouse. How do you journey along this life-giving, but often challenging, endeavor? On today’s episode of the WinShape Marriage Podcast, Marlee Arnold is joined by Amy Lowe, who brings her personal experience as a wife of almost 20 years and a mom to two teenagers. However, she also has professional expertise in this topic to boot since Amy oversees WinShape Camps for Girls and WinShape Camps for Families. She shares openly from her experience about how her and her husband practically disciple their children, make God a natural part of their family rhythms, and balance this endeavor with the role of the church and other resources like camp. If you’re a parent who desires for your kids to know and love Jesus, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this conversation.
