**IMPORTANT LINK BELOW** I'm so excited for you to listen to this podcast with Pastor Marla Stroup of Healing Place Church. We're talking about prayer over, and with, our kids. It's one of the greatest things we can do as Moms and motherly figures.  Maybe it's something that is new to you. No worries. We've put together the M&M Starter Prayer Guide for Moms. (click this link) Full disclaimer: The name of the prayer guide has literally nothing to do with its effectiveness but rather, my insatiable need to be cheesy and do the absolute MOST with everything. I felt that was important to clarify. ;-) Seriously though, the power of prayer is so epic. It's a game changer for your life. It's super important that we model a prayer life with our kids. The best way to do that is by praying with them. I won't preach the whole podcast here.  Go on and listen. I promise you'll be glad you did and you'll want to steal my friend, Marla, but you can't. ;-)  ----------- Summary In this episode, Megan H.
