Walking Alongside our Children

Beyond Sunday

Rakhi and Nicole unpack how Jesus on the road to Emmaus gives us a powerful model for parenting, especially when our children become resistant to or even antagonistic to our efforts to raise them in the faith. They discuss how Jesus’ gentleness was so powerful, offer some practical suggestions on how to respond to our children without being needlessly authoritative, and making room for understanding. They also offer encouragement to parents, highlighting how Jesus will never abandon their children.

About Podcast

The demands of our different roles as Catholic spouses, parents, and working parents, can sometimes derail even the best of intentions quickly. That’s why on this podcast we talk about how parents can be more intentional in recognizing God at work in our lives, and how we as families can go deeper into our relationship with him.

Join us each week, as we talk, laugh (and sometimes cry), about our experiences in striving to weave the Sunday experience into the everyday moments of our lives.
