About this listen

 Where holy meets hilarious — and parenting gets real.
This podcast is for the moms and dads doing their best — laughing through chaos, crying over the little things, and holding onto faith one meltdown at a time.
On Mondays, we share the stories: the moments that wreck you, stretch you, or remind you that parenting is holy ground — even when it’s loud, messy, or just plain weird.
And on Thursdays at 7PM, we slow it down for a mini devotional — short, honest reflections for the tired soul who still wants to show up with purpose.
No filters. No pressure. Just real life, real laughs, and a real Jesus who meets us in it all.2025 Parenting Relationships Spirituality

    Episode 3: Toddler Time — Building Trust Through Play
    Aug 28 2025
    Toddlerhood is messy, loud, and full of laughter — but it’s also a powerful season for building trust. From pillow forts and tea parties to meltdowns in aisle five of Target, every moment is an opportunity to connect with your child.

    In this episode of What Makes My Kid Cry Today, Lizzie shares simple, faith-filled ways to bond with your toddler through everyday play, steady routines, and even the stormy tantrums. You’ll be encouraged to see that it doesn’t take perfect parenting or Pinterest-worthy activities to grow trust — just presence, patience, and a willingness to be silly.

    ✨ Because even when toddlers shout “NO,” what they really mean is: “Are you still with me?”

    When Life Stinks (Literally)
    Aug 25 2025
    “What do you do when life stinks—literally? On Friday morning, my dog had his very first run-in with a skunk, and the smell was unforgettable. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the chaos of that morning, the lesson God tucked inside it, and the reminder that even when the stink lingers, His presence does too.

    Take a deep breath, friend—the smell won’t last forever, but God’s goodness always will.”
