Creating a home centered on faith with Ruth Chou Simons
We are thrilled to welcome Ruth Chou Simons back to the podcast today! I am so excited to talk with her about her beautiful new children's book, Home Is Right Where You Are. Our conversation is rich with Ruth\u2019s wisdom and practical advice for parenting in every season of family life.
Since this conversation was recorded, one of Ruth\u2019s sons, Judah, was in a serious mountain biking accident. God is good and he is home after extensive surgery, but please join me in praying for Judah\u2019s continued recovery.
Here is what Ruth and I discuss in today\u2019s episode:
- How to create a home filled with God's presence and the importance of discipleship in everyday family life.
- The evolving journey of parenting and how to navigate various stages of family life with grace and intention.
- Practical tips from Ruth on raising boys to love Jesus (but applicable to girls, too!), with a focus on being present and keeping promises to your children.
- The process of launching children into adulthood and the value of sibling relationships.
Ruth Chou Simons is a bestselling author, artist, and speaker, known for her works GraceLaced, Beholding and Becoming, and When Strivings Cease.

Join us for this heartfelt and practical conversation filled with Ruth\u2019s wisdom on parenting, discipleship, and creating a home where God's love is always present.
