  148-The Journey Back to Joy: Johanna Vann on Grief, Healing, and Christian Fiction

  Sep 15, 202621 min

  Today's guest Johanna Vann, a multi-award-winning author and mama of four, joins host Jennifer Bosma on the Front Parking Spot podcast to discuss grief, redemption, and the transformative power of Christian fiction for families. They talk about Johanna's new novel Where Wilted Flowers Bloom and her award-winning debut An American Immigrant, and how story can act as a modern parable to help Christians process deep questions like why suffering occurs. Johanna shares her personal journey—she wrote much of the book before experiencing a miscarriage seven days after submitting her author’s note, which made the book’s themes painfully personal. The episode covers practical advice for grieving moms (seeking God’s goodness in the land of the living, allowing joy to return, the discipline of redirecting thoughts), the role of honest, relatable Christian fiction that isn’t “cheesy,” reading choices for children, and how books can open hidden grief and lead to healing. Listeners will hear anecdotes (like a healing trip to the aquarium), reflections on parenting and homeschooling, and tips on where to find Johanna’s books and connect with her on her website and Instagram: JRV johannarvann on Instagram Christian children's books for all kids! — Jennifer Bosma Follow Jennifer on Instagram @frontparkingspot Have you been trying to explain the Trinity to the little ones in your life?

  147- Helping Kids Build a Real Relationship with God | Jen Weaver & Gayle Veitenheimer

  Sep 8, 202632 min

  Join host Jennifer Bosma on the Front Parking Spot podcast as she talks with Bible teachers and co-authors Gail Veitenheimer and Jen Weaver about practical, everyday discipleship for children. In this episode, the guests share their personal stories of coming to faith, the desire to help kids experience God now (not later), and why fiction can be one of a parent’s best discipleship tools. Gail and Jen describe concrete practices moms can use at home: looking for how God is on display in Scripture, using teachable moments (like counting grains of sand to illustrate Psalm 139), creating a safe, nonperformative space for kids to practice listening to God, and giving gentle guardrails to help children test what they think they hear against the Bible. They also discuss varying prayer styles in kids, how to respond when a child’s prayer receives an unexpected answer, and how to pastorally walk with children through grief, doubt, and resistance to faith. The authors introduce their new middle-grade mystery series (book one: The Mystery of the Missing Falls), aimed at ages 8–12 (reading-level ~third grade). The story follows cousins and kid detectives who model different prayer approaches as they solve a town mystery—showing how quality fiction can open hearts to spiritual growth. Practical bonuses include a "secret clues" debrief on KingswellKids.com with chapter quotes, connected Bible verses, and parent-friendly conversation prompts to help families talk through each chapter. Key takeaways include: prioritize relationship over religion, model honest faith (it’s okay to say “I don’t know”), lean into God’s sovereignty while inviting kids to bring their questions to Him, and use everyday moments and stories to help children build a personal, tangible faith.

  146- How Scripture + Neuroscience Help Kids Stay Calm | Steady Soul Parenting with Raeanne Johnson

  Sep 1, 202630 min

  Join host Jennifer Bosma and guest Raeanne Johnson, a pediatric mental health nurse practitioner, homeschooling mom, and translator of neuroscience into practical parenting, for a faith-forward, science-backed conversation on raising emotionally healthy children. Raeanne shares how she developed the "Steady Soul" framework (originally seven—now ten—evidence-informed practices) that pairs scripture, science, and simple implementation strategies. This episode covers Raeanne’s core habits: high-quality sleep routines, firm screen boundaries, daily movement ("sweat"), sunlight exposure, limiting sugar and red dye, regular engagement with scripture, speech (positive self-talk/CBT-style reframing), helpful supplements (like 5-HTP), and surprise implementation ideas. You’ll hear why each element matters for a child’s nervous system and spiritual formation, with concrete examples like no screens within two hours of bedtime, "create before you consume," and the tech-time ticket to make transitions smoother. Practical, easy-to-implement tools are emphasized: set up a regulation station (calming bin with fidgets, movement cards, gum for older kids), teach concrete breath and grounding exercises, use a family token economy/rewards, and prefer service-based consequences that repair relationships (folding laundry, extra chores) over punitive timeouts. Raeanne explains the difference between timeout as punishment and a regulation space implemented with loving boundaries. For concerns about ADHD, Raeanne unpacks assessment basics (DSM-5 criteria, Vanderbilt forms, classroom impact), the low-arousal dopamine theory, and non-pharmaceutical strategies that help: reduce sugar/red dye, increase heavy work and movement, kinesthetic learning, classroom supports (IEP/504), and token economies. She describes medication as a tool when function or safety/academic performance/self-esteem are significantly affected, and offers practical classroom partnership advice for parents facing rigid teachers. The conversation also highlights the importance of parent self-regulation—"the most regulated mom raises the most resilient kid"—and encourages moms to parent for the long haul (set boundaries now that build long-term habits). Raeanne and Jennifer share examples, stories, and short scripts to help parents partner with teachers, set expectations, and talk to kids in an encouraging way that builds grit and character. Resources and next steps: Raeanne’s Steady Soul Short Course (10 modules pairing scripture, science, support, and a surprise), a free ADHD webinar and printable tools are available at brainwaveswellness.com. Recommended reads mentioned in the episode include The Whole-Brain Child and The Worry-Free Parent. Connect with Jennifer via Front Parking Spot (Instagram/Facebook) and find show notes and links at jenniferbosma.com. Expect a practical, gospel-centered episode full of clinical insight, approachable neuroscience, and actionable steps you can start using today to help your child regulate, learn, and grow in faith and resilience.

  145- Start Your God‑Led Business in 30 Days | Christian Mom Launch Guide with Melissa Harms

  Aug 25, 202625 min

  On this episode of the Front Parking Spot podcast, host Jennifer Bosma welcomes Christian business coach Melissa Harms to walk moms through identifying and launching a God-led business without sacrificing family time. Melissa shares her personal story — how she left teaching, started a profitable photography business, and later built two more businesses while staying at home — and why she’s passionate about helping moms build sustainable ventures in 20 hours a week or less. The conversation covers spiritual and practical starting points: begin with prayer and trusted Christian mentors, but don’t wait for a lightning-bolt revelation — take the first step and let clarity follow. Melissa introduces a Venn diagram approach to test business ideas: intersect passion, unique gifts/experiences, and a real market need. She explains why all three elements are necessary to move from hobby to income-generating business. Melissa then breaks down her SIMPLE business plan to get a business off the ground quickly: Specify your person (narrow your audience), Identify the problem you solve, Make an irresistible offer (one focused solution), Pick your platform (where your people hang out), Lean into consistency, and Expand later with systems and automations. She emphasizes starting with one audience, one problem, one offer, and one platform so moms can launch and learn fast. The episode also tackles common fears and balance issues: practical tips for keeping businesses to ~20 hours/week, why strategy and mentorship prevent wasted time, and how to evaluate boundaries so both motherhood and entrepreneurship can be fruitful. Melissa addresses pricing and freebies head-on — why charging increases perceived value and client commitment, and how investment drives action and results. Resources and next steps are provided for listeners who want hands-on help: Melissa offers one-on-one coaching (weekly 45-minute calls plus Voxer access), free discovery calls, a YouTube video podcast under Melissa Harms Coaching, and The Melissa Harms Show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. The episode closes with encouragement to trust God’s leading, be present in each role, and move forward with faith — an Ephesians 3:20 type of charge to go for your front parking spot.

Key moments include Danielle describing her spiritual “ghoul” (a safe spiritual place to run to in the storms of life), reflections on God’s grace and forgiveness, encouragement to invite Jesus into your mess, and practical encouragement for parents and caregivers trying to break cycles and help their children grow spiritually. She also references thought leaders like Dr. Gabor Maté and discusses how trauma can be hidden in everyday anxiety, anger, or stuckness. Resources and next steps: Danielle points listeners to free assessments and coaching resources on her website, and previews her upcoming book Hungry for More: The Longing, The Counterfeits, and What We’re Really Looking For. Expect real stories, grounded theology, and actionable hope for anyone wanting to live victorious with Jesus’ help.
