Every parent wants to raise up their children in a manner pleasing to God, and sometimes you need all the help you can get! In this episode of the iDisciple Podcast, David is joined by a guest who knows a thing or two about raising Godly children: author and founder of For Girls Like You, Wynter Pitts.
Wynter was raised by her mother and grandmother in the inner city of Baltimore and s aw firsthand the effects of poverty and fatherlessness on a child. Because of God’s grace and her loving family, Wynter overcame her childhood surroundings and enjoyed immense success in academics and her career.
When her daughters were born, she made the choice to stay at home and focus on raising her daughters. During this time, Wynter began blogging and launched For Girls Like You magazine, a ministry dedicated to raising young girls to be more like Christ.
Wynter and David’s conversation is an in-depth look at the highs and lows of parenting, and is filled with practical advice about how to trust the Lord with the lives of your children.
We hope and pray that this discussion encourages you to lean not on your own understanding, but to rely on the Lord’s strength when raising up children!
