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.
