What We Actually Should Be Praying for Our Kids This School Year: EP 218

We’re back, moms — and we came in hot.

Kate and Rebecca are officially back from their summer break and kicking off the new school year with the reset every mom needs before September hits. First they are sharing their best summer stories — a canceled flight in Cabo, a family road trip prank involving a very unfortunate cat, a miniature Barbie birthday gift that has to be seen to be believed, and a hospital visit that came dangerously close to fulfilling one mom’s very specific bucket list dream.

Then things get real. Because as we send our kids back into classrooms, sports teams, and friend groups this fall — the prayers we pray for them matter more than we think. Kate and Rebecca pull from an unlikely source — the book of Revelation — to challenge moms to stop praying only for the comfortable things and start praying for the things that actually shape who our kids are becoming.

In This Episode:

• Kate’s flight cancellation saga in Cabo — and why you need a Spanish speaker in your travel group
• The Bradford family’s San Antonio vacation and the prank that almost went too far
• The most creative birthday gift Kate has ever received and why miniature things are Rebecca’s love language
• The elevator baby that almost made one mom’s bucket list dream come true
• Why the book of Revelation is actually the perfect back to school guide
• Culture is not neutral — it has a goal for your kids and we have to know what we’re up against
• Everybody’s becoming someone — the choices our kids make now create who they are
• Why we need to stop praying comfortable prayers and start praying character prayers
• Worship is war — what we stare at becomes bigger, so let’s stare at Jesus
