    What a blessing!
    I stumbled across this podcast and it was a huge reset for our family. Praying that she is able to start up again because we are enjoying her peaceful and comforting podcast. Can’t wait to get her book!
  • ceileen
    Must-listen!
    Kayla’s voice and biblical truths are a much-needed breath of fresh air, especially during the Christmas season! Take a breather by listening to this podcast and receive God’s peace in the chaos of life.
  • Katfrantz
    Grateful.
    Both the books and the podcast messages are beacons to light the path. They lighten the load. They nudge the weary traveler forward. Uplifting, energy boosting, hope buoying… sustaining.
  • JessW519
    Great podcast, poor promoting
    I love this podcast content. But I’m so tired of hearing about the new book. The first 3-5 minutes of every episode is the same thing - talking about new book, sale in new book, buy the new book…I get it, you need to promote it somewhere. But it’s getting old. Looking forward to the episodes where that is no longer necessary.
  • grtwokie
    Great for centering your day
    I love to listen as I walk and pray for my family, my community, and world!
  • dilouley
    Peaceful and Uplifting
    I love how simple this podcast is. Nothing to think through or process, just a short simple respite to bring my mind back to God. She shares a short scripture passage, a prayer, and a benediction. Her words never fail to bring tears to my eyes and remind me of God’s love.
  • scrhill
    A gift to me
    I am so glad I found this podcast and know it’ll be a light in the darkness as I parent my kids faithfully.
  • alicatarina
    I love the breath prayers
    I just found this podcast and it’s a blessing to me. I do have something I’d suggest to make it easier to listen to. It’s difficult to listen when at the end of your sentences you chop the sentence into two word increments..it’s just difficult to process the end of the sentence if that makes sense. It would make it easier to hear if the sentence flowed and didn’t chop up. Otherwise the podcast is great.
  • LCMeyerEGM
    What a blessing!
    I found Kayla’s book from Erin Moon in the Bible Binge. I have loved it so much and prayed so many of the prayers. Listening to this podcast is such a blessing. I feel refreshed every time I listen. Thankful for Kayla and her willingness to be led by the Spirit. She put into words things I couldn’t.
  • RMichael20
    Simple and Christ-focused
    A perfect companion to evening down time when I’m regrouping for the next day.

    Perfect Mom Podcast
    This short and sweet podcast with scripture and a prayer is perfect for moms! Still seems like there’s some sound issues. In Ep 1 the music was a bit too loud and vocals too low. Ep 3 the vocals got fuzzy at times because it was too loud.
  • M. Gadson
    Perfect timing!
    This podcast is right on time! Parenting is not easy by itself. Add the current cultural climate and parenting can seem daunting. Kayla gives us a sense of not being alone. Her prayers are truly for such a time as this! Her voice calmly reminds us to look to the One Who promises us He is always with us.
  • kikiholden
    Awesome
    I love the contemplative practices and I haven’t seen anything specific to parents. Thank you for this. What a gift.
  • Kensington08
    Beautiful!
    What a lovely idea and beautiful exercise! One bit of feedback: could you speak up? I understand you are trying to set a meditative tone, but at times it sounds as if you are whispering and it can be difficult to understand you, especially with the lovely ambient music.
  • leslie marie medlin

    Simple and so needed
    I’ve been looking for a podcast with brief episodes that reads scriptures and prayers to help me reset my mindset during the day. This is perfect!!

    Liturgies for Parents
    Love the book and was delighted to see they’re doing a podcast!
  • Caterina109
    Encouraging
    These brief prayers are the perfect way to pause and take a deep breath as a busy parent! I’m grateful for Kayla’s words, especially since it feels like I’m running on fumes some days and don’t know what or how to pray. Highly recommend this and picking up a copy of To Light Their Way!
  • Cassandra Speer
    A breath of fresh air!
    This podcast is for every parent who feels like they’re treading water. It’s a breath of fresh air and an invitation to meditate on God’s goodness. Especially when the waves of life become overwhelming!
  • Jillyjefferson
    Just what I needed
    This podcast is wonderful. Helped me reset and slow down. Thank you!
  • Emmaleelawson
    Kayla’s the real deal.
    Kayla’s the real deal. She understands what parents in the trenches need and walks alongside us as a friend, not a faraway sympathizer. You’ll find solace here, I know I have ❤️❤️❤️
