Most of the people I've interviewed for this podcast are in thick of parenting, but Kate Battistelli is on the other side of it. Her grown daughter loves God and has a beautiful family of her own.

Kate is the mother of (my daughter's favorite singer) Francesca Battistelli. You'll love her encouragement and insight no matter where you are in your parenting journey.

Get Inspired

God never wastes anything - all the things that He asked us to lay down, He picked back up in our daughter's life and take it to where it was really going to make a difference.

God had to bring us to the place where He was enough, where nothing else can satisfy. No matter what our circumstances are, God is still God.

When something comes into our lives that's not what we expect, we can look back and see God's history of faithfulness. God's not always going to deliver you from trouble, but He'll deliver you through it.

As we dig deep with God, He'll show us the gifts and talents He's given our children so we can be intentional about exposing our children to opportunities to develop those gifts.

Don't be afraid to dream big for yourself or your kids. God has a plan for you and He says you are fearfully and wonderfully made!
