Kruger: Yeah, I grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, so not too far from where I am now. Where did you grow up and how did you become a follower of Jesus? So before we dive into this week’s episode, tell us a little bit about yourself, Melissa. But, you know, I never want to push something like that because I’m kind of like, just gonna push my wife - you know, somebody’s got to tell me to do it. And then we can have her on the Mind + Heart podcast. Holmes: I know! One day we got to get her on the Wisdom Wednesday.
Kruger: I’m a little sad Jasmine’s not with us, though. Melissa Kruger: Thanks so much for having me.

But what if there was a way to further your education at your own pace without the commitment to a full Master’s program? We recently launched a core certificates program that will help you do just that. Getting a Master’s degree can seem daunting, especially if you’re working full time, taking care of your family, or just trying to get back to normal in the midst of a pandemic. Phillip Holmes: Before we dive into this week’s episode of Mind + Heart, we want to take a moment to highlight a new opportunity at Reformed Theological Seminary. Mind + Heart Season 2 Episode 3: Parenting She also offers a reminder that this means that the daily struggles of parenting are never in vain since they are all being used by God to further sanctify the parent. Kruger points out that God gives specific children to specific parents for their sanctification. Holmes asks Kruger what encouragement she would give to parents seeking to raise godly children. She describes the central role of family devotions, and the beauty of not only being able to pray for her children, but being prayed for by her children. Kruger talks about living an open Christian life in front of her children, even through suffering and difficulty. Holmes and Kruger discuss how parents can model what it looks like to trust in the Lord. Kruger describes the importance of separating one’s self-worth from their child’s growth in godliness, remembering that the Lord must do the work of saving a child, and entrusting this task to him. Holmes asks Kruger what her most useful practice has been in entrusting her children to the Lord.
She explains the importance of remaining in the Word and in prayer, and talks about the necessity of resting in Christ, pointing out that children can readily identify “fakes.” Holmes describes his own parenting experiences and talks about the necessity of remembering that a parent’s job is not to “fix” their children but to be transformed themselves by God’s Word. Holmes asks Kruger what advice she would give to new parents seeking to raise godly children. Holmes and Kruger pivot to discussing the impact of the pandemic on parents, and Holmes plays back her previous Wisdom Wednesday episode, “How do I entrust my children to the Lord?” Kruger talks about their dating life, eventual marriage, their three children, and some of their personal family history. Holmes asks her about how she met her husband. She talks about being raised in the Methodist church in North Carolina, and her experience of conversion at an FCA event as part of her high school years. Holmes asks Kruger about her background and testimony. She is also a part of the Let’s Talk podcast and is mother to three children. Kruger is the Director of Women’s Content at The Gospel Coalition and is the author of several books, including Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood and Five Things to Pray For Your Kids: Prayers that Change Things for the Next Generation. In this episode of Mind + Heart, Phillip Holmes interviews Melissa Kruger.
