Episode #45: Abiding in Christ While Praying with Children with Erica Renaud

The Refuge Podcast with Jennifer Elwood

We are continuing on with season three by focusing in on prayer, specifically with our children. My engaging guest Erica Renaud recently published a book on this topic and what she shares will change your perspective on praying with your children.

In this episode we discussed:

• the story behind her book’s origins and how the Lord led her to pray and worship with her children
• 5 qualities of the heart we desire for our children as they grow their faith through prayer
• shaping conversations with our kids to include challenging subjects from the Bible
• how to abide in Christ more closely when praying with your children

Stay tuned for Friday’s complimentary episode when I deep dive into Daniel 3:16-18: “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up’” (NIV).

Erica’s Bio: Erica is a powerful speaker, passionate writer and founder of two ongoing prayer initiatives. She speaks at various events and conferences throughout the Northeast. Closer to home, Erica and her husband are active in their congregation leading a regular prayer and worship gatherings. Her first book Pray with Me: Help Your Children Engage in Powerful and Authentic Prayer released April 4, 2023. When she's not ministering to others via a microphone or written words, you will find Erica at home discipling her five children between the ages of 5 and 17. With most of the children currently homeschooled, her house is rarely short of laughter, schoolwork, and mess. In her 'free' time, Erica loves to frequent the mountains, lakes, and coffee shops of upstate New York.
