A guide to God’s Way
Biblical parenting help for Christian moms.
If your kid has ever asked a question that made you freeze, you’re in the right place. I’m Jess Manuel, and God’s Way is where I help moms know what to say in the hard moments with their kids, and what God says about them. Here’s what you’ll find, and the best place to start.
I’m a pastor, author, speaker and mama to six in Boulder, Colorado. My husband, Parker, and I planted a church there, and I’ve served in ministry for over 15 years. Read my story.
START WITH YOUR CHILD’S AGE
Every age brings its own questions.
Pick a stage for the topics that come up most, free help for each one, and the guides that fit.
HELP FOR WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW
What to say, and the Scripture behind it.
Each topic page is free. It explains what’s usually going on, gives you words to say and things to try tonight, and the verse it’s rooted in.
