8. Legacy of Grace: Single Parenting and Spiritual Growth with your Children (with Dr. Christin Thorpe)

For single parents who don't have a partner to share the load, the weight of caring for kids alone can feel crushing. It takes a village to help raise the world’s next disciples, and it is a relief to find community when your household is shorthanded on help.   On today’s episode, we sit down with Dr. Christin Thorpe to hear how she has felt supported and empowered as a single mother to raise her young son within the Church. Join us as we explore different ways we can show up for one another and create intentional communities that walk through all aspects of life together.   Guest Bio:  Dr. Christin Thorpe is a devoted mother, sociologist, church consultant, and community-focused faith leader. Through her work, Christin brings research-driven insight shaped by lived experience. With deep church roots and seasons of distance from faith, she brings authenticity, vision, and hope to churched, unchurched, and de-churched communities alike—all while calling people back to belonging. Links:  Thriving Black Church Initiative: https://www.odbm.org/en/voices/thriving-black-church-initiative Listen to more from Dr. Christin Thorpe on the “Faith Under Construction” podcast! 🎧 https://www.odbm.org/en/podcasts/faith-under-construction?pg=1 Explore these print and digital resources to bring your family together throughout the Lent and Easter season! 📖📱  https://www.odbm.org/en/campaigns/nydi/nydi-welcome-families/lent-season Our Daily Bread Ministries: https://www.odbm.org/en/
