Join Ed and Amy in hearing the simplest of steps from Dr David McKie to make the great strides in improving your child's mental wellbeing... Sleep, food and exercise are where it starts. And then listen out for the big news, 'Both of their ears are working for 10 minutes each day'. Don't leave early because you need to find out how your child can 'open the most amazing doorway they will ever have in their life.'

This is us with the fireworks, the big scissors cutting the ribbon and even a dramatic spray of champagne. This is us kicking off a big new series on mental wellbeing.
We have listened, we've been busy and here we are with the topic that we know you want from us. Let's look to God together as we learn how he does mental wellbeing from the Psalms. This generation of children are waiting for us to bring God's care to their distress and fears. We went to get you ready for that journey.
Ed walks us through the tears at bed time while Amy goes off-road, showing us how to do godly mental wellbeing on her mountain bike. 
Let's release the 🐬🐬🐬!
Let's learn how to help our children's wellbeing - ahead lies gratitude, resilience and comfort in the difficulty.

What does fatherhood look like as a stepdad? 

In this honest and encouraging conversation, Joe shares his family’s story — from building trust and “credit in the bank” with your child, to choosing your battles wisely, being courageous, and finding security in knowing the battle is already won because of Jesus. 

He also reflects on how church community has helped strengthen family life. 
A thoughtful listen for every parent and step-parent.

This week on the Faith in Parents podcast, Ed and Amy are joined by Chris Morphew—teacher, chaplain, author, and new dad—to help you make Easter one of the big three family celebrations (alongside Christmas and birthdays).

From sock donkeys and paper mâché tombs to great books, easy podcasts, and our brand new Let’s Go Easter story resource—there’s something for every family, however much prep time you’ve got.

Be inspired to share the brilliant news of Jesus’ death and resurrection this Easter.

Chris Morphew is an author, teacher, and school chaplain living in Sydney, Australia. His books include Best News Ever, a 100-day guide to the Gospel of Mark, and The Big Questions, a series of short books answering tough questions about life and faith. Chris enjoys Mario Kart, obscure board games, and superhero movies, and has been told he looks like Chris Hemsworth from the back.
