Helping Christian Moms Disciple Their Children with Confidence and Build a Faith-Filled Home in a Culture That Worships AchievementFor the Christian mom wrestling with how to raise kids who aren't afraid to be counter-cultural — this episode is for you. In a world that pushes our children toward Ivy League acceptance, six-figure careers, and the approval of the crowd, Ashlee is making a bold case for raising kids who submit their plans to the Lord first and follow Him wherever He leads — even when that path looks nothing like the world's definition of success.In this episode, Ashlee shares why she and her husband are intentionally preparing their five children for Heaven, not Harvard. She walks through three specific shifts every Christian mom can make to raise children who are rooted in God's Word, secure in their identity in Christ, and unafraid to walk a different path than the rest of their generation.In this episode you'll hear:Why the cultural pressure to push our kids toward worldly success is quietly stealing their kingdom callingWhy homeschooling or kingdom-minded schools matter more than ever in this generationHow memorizing one verse a week as a family builds children who know who they are and Whose they areWhy celebrating your child's character and walk with God matters far more than report cards and trophiesThe biggest mindset shift Christian moms need to make to raise kids who follow Jesus instead of the crowdWhy crushing student loan debt is a symptom of a deeper discipleship gapMentioned in this episode:The TPOM Flourish Community — a monthly community for Christian moms who want to build faith-filled homes and disciple their children with confidence.👉 Join here: https://www.thepurposeofmotherhood.com/tpommembershipConnect with Ashlee:📲 Instagram: @thepurposeofmotherhood🌱 Free quiz — find your missing ingredient: https://www.thepurposeofmotherhood.com/flourish4📚 Books by Ashlee: Lessons I Found in the Laundry Basket and Because She Prayed
