5–Minute Parenting: Tips to Help You Raise Competent, Godly Kids.
Welcome to the 5-Minute Parenting podcast! I'm Sandra Kay Chambers, the founder and host of this podcast. I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and former teacher, journalist, and an award-winning children's author. My Fingerprint Devotions: 40 Devotions That Help You Realize You Are a Kid Uniquely Created by God for a Purpose (ages 8-12), helps kids realize they are unique, just like their fingerprints, and have a God-given purpose in their life. I'm also the author of a picture book, Maisie Discovers Her Fingerprint (ages 3-8), and an adult book, Lord, It’s Boring in My Prayer Closet: How to Revitalize Your Prayer Life,
I’m Karen Ferguson, your new podcast host beginning February 2025! I’m a wife, mom, grandmom and author of the Questions for Kids picture book series. I have a background in K-8 education and a passion for equipping parents to raise competent, God confident kids.
In this podcast, we cover parenting practices from both a practical view and a biblical view that will benefit your child’s physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. Our goal is to help you raise kids with a positive, godly self image so they can become all they were created to be. I know you’re busy so we’ll keep it short, let’s take just five minutes and dive in!
