Raising Kids Who Know and Defend Their Faith, with Phylicia Masonheimer.

Hosted By: Candace Nassar

How do You Raise Kids With a Strong Biblical Foundation ? (Even When You Feel Unqualified)

Raising kids with a lasting, confident faith in today’s culture isn’t easy — but it might be simpler than you think.

In this episode of the MomQ Podcast, host Candace Nassar sits down with author and theologian Phylicia Masonheimer to talk about what Christian parenting really looks like when life gets messy. If you’re a mom who wants to raise faith-filled kids, disciple your children with confidence, and build a gospel-centered home — this conversation is for you.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

  • Why Christian apologetics for moms doesn’t require a theology degree
  • How asking hard faith questions can strengthen your kids’ belief — not shake it
  • Practical ways to teach theology at home in everyday family moments
  • How to disciple your children confidently even when you feel spiritually unqualified
  • Why your most authentic, grace-filled moments are your greatest parenting witness
  • How to prepare kids to defend their Christian faith in today’s culture

Phylicia opens up about her own faith journey and shares why wrestling with doubt made her belief stronger. Together, she and Candace unpack how biblical discipleship starts not in a classroom — but right in the middle of homework, dinnertime, and even your hardest mom moments.

Whether you’re looking for practical Christian parenting advice, tools for spiritual leadership at home, or simply encouragement that you are enough for this calling — this episode will equip and inspire you.

Your kids don’t need a perfect mom. They need a faith-filled one.
