The 7 Best Christian Parenting Podcasts in 2026

Updated June 2026 · by the Episode Club team

Christian parenting podcasts multiply faster than laundry, and most of them blur together — same guests, same book tours, same vague encouragement. These eight don't. Every show here is still putting out new episodes as of June 2026 (we verified each feed), and each earns its spot differently: two children's counselors explaining why your eight-year-old melts down at bedtime, a mom of four boys interviewing the mentors she wishes lived next door, a couple who nearly divorced telling the truth about marriage on a daily broadcast, and a grandmother of the read-aloud movement with nearly nine hundred episodes of quiet wisdom. Some run ten minutes, some an hour. None will shame you or pretend there's a formula. Start with the one that matches the kid currently keeping you up at night. And if eight more feeds sounds like one more thing to manage, it doesn't have to be — Episode Club can send what's new from all of them in one calm weekly email.

1
Raising Boys & Girls
That Sounds Fun Network
Sissy Goff and David Thomas counsel kids all day at Nashville's Daystar Counseling, then explain what they're seeing — anxiety, big feelings, screens — in plain, age-by-age terms. Clinically sharp and genuinely gentle at the same time, which is rare.
2
Don't Mom Alone Podcast
Don't Mom Alone Podcast
Heather MacFadyen, raising four boys, interviews counselors, authors, and seasoned moms with the unhurried curiosity of a friend who actually read the book. More than a decade in, it still feels like borrowed mentorship rather than content.
3
Focus on the Family Parenting Podcast
Focus on the Family
Licensed counselor Danny Huerta and broadcaster John Fuller take one concrete question per episode — chores, anger, screens, apologizing well — and answer it in about ten minutes. Practical enough to use at dinner the same night.
4
FamilyLife Today®
FamilyLife Network
Dave and Ann Wilson host the long-running daily flagship on marriage and parenting, with the candor of a couple who nearly divorced early on and say so. Thirty minutes a weekday, guests worth hearing, zero gloss.
5
The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast
1000 Hours Outside
Ginny Yurich, a Christian mom of five behind the 1,000-hours movement, interviews authors and researchers on childhood, screens, and play. Not exclusively faith-focused, but beloved by Christian families trying to trade tablets for mud and daylight.

Mama Bear Apologetics
Hillary Morgan Ferrer & Amy Davison
