#333: How To Teach Your Kids to Spend Time with Jesus (Feat. Lauren Lain)
In this episode of the Crazy Cool Family Podcast, Madeline Jones sits down with her friend Lauren to talk about one of the most important roles of a parent: teaching your kids how to spend time with Jesus.
Drawing from their personal experiences growing up in faith-filled homes—and now raising young children themselves—Madeline and Lauren unpack what it looks like to move beyond religion and into a genuine relationship with God.
Rooted in John 15, this conversation centers on the truth that apart from Jesus, we can do nothing—and that includes parenting.
You’ll hear:
- Why a daily relationship with Jesus is the greatest gift you can give your kids
- How consistency—not perfection—builds lifelong faith
- Practical tools like worship, Word, and prayer for all ages
- Creative ways to disciple kids who can’t read yet
- How to model authentic faith in everyday family life
From quiet time baskets and Bible story routines to real-life strategies for busy parents, this episode is packed with encouragement and simple, actionable ideas.
The heart behind it all:
When kids learn to meet with Jesus daily,
they gain a foundation strong enough to carry them through anything.
Whether you’re just starting or looking to grow deeper as a family, this episode will equip you to raise kids who don’t just know about God—but truly walk with Him.
