Welcome to Little Shoots Deep Roots, where we become faith gardeners, cultivating deep faith in our families, one little habit at a time. I’m your fellow gardener, Christie Thomas.
In the Little Shoots Deep Roots podcast, I hope to help you find consistent ways to sit at the feet of Jesus along with your family and be discipled by him.
- I’ll point out bible stories and passages where God takes the weak and the foolish and the small things of this world and uses them for his purposes.
- I’ll also give you practical tools to help you make changes as well as examples from other parents who are finding freedom in starting little.
Confidently discipling our kids is simpler than we think.
We don’t have to know it all or do it all.
We just need to start little and trust God to do what he does best.
