Episode155: Fostering Being Still and Knowing God With Our Kids: Liturgies for Parents with Kayla Craig

Have you not known the words to pray? Have you been so exhausted in your parenting journey, all you needed or wanted was for someone to read your mind and care for you? Well, this conversation will not only be a breath of fresh air, but one that will nourish any season you are in as a parent. Whether you are changing diapers, teaching your child to drive, or preparing to send them off to college, there is a message for you.   Terra and Kayla Craig explore the power of liturgy prayers. Terra and Kayla share a little of their own spiritual journeys and how that is shaping the way they parent and move in and out of helping their kids grow in their walk with God. This episode is the perfect start to a season of gratitude this Thanksgiving and one you can share with any weary parent!   Kayla Craig is a modern liturgist, a mother of four, and the author of To Light Their Way: A Collection of Prayers and Liturgies for Parents. She also hosts the weekly Liturgies for Parents Podcast and is a part of the Christian Parenting Network family!   She writes about parenting and Christian spirituality. Her work is inspired by her life as a full-time journalist turned work-at-home mom to wonderfully curious kids. Her work has appeared in Alabaster Co., The Upper Room, (in)Courage, BHG.com, PBS KIDS for Parents, Motherly, Red Letter Christians, Christ + Pop Culture, and in countless newspapers across the United States. She is also co-founder of Upside Down Podcast, an ecumenical gathering of Christian women exploring faith and culture. (They’ve had half a million downloads and are going on hiatus after their sixth season.)
