Not A Bad Parent

Not A Bad Parent

Not a Bad Parent is a living-room conversation about parenting with the two most valuable tools we’ve been given by God: the Bible and His Holy Spirit living inside us. Hosted by Jonathan and Rachael—parents for 14 years and still learning—this podcast is about raising kids with confidence, humility, and trust in God’s leading. Each month, we sit down with other parents (and sometimes grandparents or kids) to talk honestly about the messy, awkward, surprising parts of parenting. No topic is off limits. Whether you’re Bible-based or just doing your best to figure it out, you’ll find practical tools, encouragement, and a reminder: you’re not perfect, you’re not alone, and you’re not a bad parent.
