This podcast is a must-listen for Christian parents who want to raise their children with purpose and grace.

Each episode feels like a conversation with a trusted friend who points you back to God’s truth. I give this podcast 5 stars and wholeheartedly recommend it to every parent looking to grow in faith and family.

I appreciate the encouragement I always get when I listen!

Jay makes great content for Christian parents. I find so much help by listening to him and his guests.

As an aging woman, I am now listening to my first podcast at 68. Wanted to listen to a friend whom I admire, respect and is a man of God. His information in this episode is life changing for me. Never to late to learn. If used, and even realized, (we already have systems and habits, learning to combine them is key) voila! A must listen.

Helpful content and he has a pleasant voice

Jay Holland is extremely wise and provides practical advice for shepherding your family towards Christ!

Trying to make good use of my 45 min commute pre-Covid in fall of 2019, I literally asked Siri to search for a podcast on Christian parenting as I was driving home one evening. She found Let’s Parent on Purpose with Jay Holland and I listened with a critical ear but I knew after the first show that I had found a winner!! Wow! I’ve been a follower since that day. I’ve emailed Jay a few times, never knowing if he would respond as he has such a strong following. TRUTH: He responds every time with wisdom and encouragement!! This guy is one of a kind. Refreshing voice of reality amidst the often sunshine and no rain Christian speakers / teachers. He’s honest and genuine and shares his lowest lows and how God brought him through. Thank you Jay for walking honestly with Jesus and for sharing with us your community so generously.

I appreciate this podcast so much. I started listening about two weeks ago. It has helped me change MY attitude and MY approach with my daughter who is a preteen. These helpful tips have allowed my daughter to feel like she has a safe place to be super open again ( for a while my bitterness on life affected hers) this also has helped me realize how important it is to have healthy adults in her life and so I’m making the choice to take us back to Sunday services and youth group. Thank you Jay

Jay, I’ve been listening since your very first podcast. I just wanted to share how thankful and appreciative we are that you’re still gracing our hearts, minds, and spirit with your podcast. Continuing this endeavor while your son is going through cancer treatment is a testimony of your commitment to spreading Gods word. We appreciate YOU and we NEED you to continue doing what you’re doing. Thank you Jay! Rob and Jenna U.

Haven’t been to church regularly since Covid started, but this podcast has helped rocket me into encouragement & strategies on how to be a better father and husband to my family. I love my morning quiet times sifting through every episode I can find, looking for encouragement and scripture based strategies.

I’ve been listening about a year & I love this podcast.. it speaks inspirational truth!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for half a year now and have enjoyed the perspective offered in the episodes, until I listened to “Sex, marriage killer or killer marriage.” There was so much poor, unsubstantiated advice given and I am honestly so appalled that I will no longer be listening to this podcast. To list just a *few* of the issues in this episode: it was recommended that parents never ever let their baby or babies sleep in their bed or in their room, and that is absolutely horrific, selfish advice. It has been scientifically proven that cosleeping and safe bed sharing practices are incredibly beneficial for both the baby and the mother on a physical level and deep emotional and psychological level. That comment clearly showed that the hosts favor the husband and care less for the well being of the wife and child. This comment also suggested that sex cannot be had any other place then the “marriage bed”. That’s preposterous. Sex is fun and can be had ANYWHERE in the home when the children are asleep, it can be satisfying and exciting without being stuck to the bed. If you have to rely on your empty “marriage bed” for good sex then perhaps couples need to be more creative instead of kicking their helpless infants into a bedroom alone. Another comment was made suggesting that it’s impossible that the wife will orgasm every time intercourse is had and that again is outrageous and prioritizing only the husband. Women CAN orgasm EVERY single time IF she is treated right and her body is shown the attention she deserves!!! If the husband is only trying to get his rocks off and can not be selfless to ensure his wife also is satisfied, that is the issue. I’m absolutely mind blown and disgusted by this episode. All I heard repeatedly was “the husband’s sex needs are a priority” and I’m out. You lost a listener.

This podcast is such a great resource! I am new to the Christian Faith and a newly single mother with young children and I’m trying to change my parenting style to faith based. There’s always something valuable in each episode!

I’ve really loved listening to these episodes along with my husband. Thank you for this fresh perspective!

I am so happy I found this. It has truly been a blessing.

This podcast shares valuable information for parents. I’ve learned a lot from each interview. Keep up the great work!!

I really enjoyed listening to this show - I am Faith-based and feel all Parents need support and extra help to raise Consciously-aware kids...Keep up all the great work Jay! Coach Riana Milne

Loved the podcast on teaching kids to be smart with money. Great principles.

I am a new mom (my son is 6 months) and this podcast has been so encouraging. It is my husband and my desire to parent on purpose. This podcast is helping me to think about topics that I wouldn’t do otherwise, and allowing us to be proactive. I absolutely love it and am gleaning from the wisdom shared.

I am seventeen and live in South Florida. I have no kids and hopefully won’t anytime soon. I’ve listened to every episode of this podcast and it has become a central piece in my spiritual life. I look forward to having kids in the future and I know this resource will have better prepared me for the task.

Jay’s podcast is an amazing resource for parents who are trying to raise children in this crazy world. Many episodes have authentic conversations that covers a wide range of difficult situations. It’s also helpful and encouraging to listen to other parents perspectives. To know that I am not alone with my struggles eases my heart and also reminds me that this is in Gods hands. I recommend this podcast to any parent, caregiver, or adult who is either raising children or dealing with children on a regular basis. Thank you Jay for providing this meaningful and helpful resource!

I’m a homeschooling Mom of two boys and always looking for God focus parenting support. Sometimes is shocks me when I turn on a new episode how perfectly God has guided a lesson that is exactly what I need in that moment. I listen often after my Bible time when I put my kids in bed at night. Many nights I find myself in tears as Jay prays and I pray with him. I know God has given me multiple tools help my boys be the Men God plans for them to be thru you lesson and I am thankful.

This is an excellent source for Godly parenting wisdom that is helpful for parents of kids of all ages. It is both tactical and general, and all ties back into scripture, so you know you can trust it. This is the podcast you’ve been waiting for. 👍🏼

I stated listening to LPOP last year during my commute to work and found it very engaging. Jay’s topics and people he invites are relevant and helps me to think and seek purposeful parenting. He also addresses current events and issues that helps me to see parenting from God’s point of view and not get caught up in all the craziness of do’s and don’ts. I forwarded many episodes to my friends because i thought they would find it helpful also. I appreciate Jay’s personal testimonies of his own struggles, his sense of humor, and his insights.

I’ve been an active listener for about 6 months and have thoroughly enjoyed and grown from Let’s Parent on Purpose. Always biblical and relevant, Jay shares from the heart in way that helps me, a married father of four, partner better with my wife in raising our wonderful children. Jay, I’ve never met you but thanks for the time and energy you put into each podcast.

We are starting a new series today, at church, about boundaries. Perfect timing!

If you’re a discerning podcast listener searching for practical, Bible-based parenting wisdom, then this is the site for you! Jay is an excellent host, presenting diverse subjects in a loving and encouraging way. After listening, you will feel wiser and uplifted. Highly recommended!

I was interviewed on this podcast a year ago. It's a wonderful podcast to gain insights and wisdom! Do yourself a favor and listen to this NOW! Wow thank you for providing amazing consistent content!!! 5 stars

As a busy parent I look forward to each episode. Jay manages to bring applicable and biblical principals in a refreshing and easy to understand way. Worth the investment of time.

Love this podcast and I love sharing it with other moms. It’s been so helpful for me especially the accountability episode so convicting but has helped me grow so much!

My husband and I listen to Jay every week. We learn and are encouraged by what he shares. It's good practical stuff and it's all spoken with love and grace. The tools he shares are invaluable and we appreciate them greatly!

I love listening to Jay! He is a true man of God and speaks the word. He is humble and gives encouraging advice for parenting and marriage. I look forward to listening every Sunday!

This podcast gives encouraging advice for Christian parenting! I definitely recommend!

I truly hope this podcast is heard by Christian parents everywhere. There is a wealth of wise advise that can be put into practice to strengthen families. Thanks for this podcast Jay!

This is such a great tool for parents — and really anyone who works with kids. So much rich, practical advice with relevant topics!!

I love this podcast and how Jay helps parents with Biblical parenting in practical ways. I grew up in Church, but sometimes practical application is hard. This podcast is super encouraging to me and now that I’ve listened to all the past episodes, I look forward to listening to how God is leading him each week. Keep up the great work. We’ve tried to implement a lot in our family.

Thank you for sharing applicable ways to be the “adult”. Being intentional with the people I get to interact with has helped me also, I’m learning every day.

Hey, it's me Jay Holland from Let's Parent on Purpose. Yes, I'm rating my own podcast, but specifically I'm rating the community of listeners. You guys are incredibly encoruaging and I love getting to be a part of your lives! Thank you for subscribing, sharing, and rating the show! More imprtantly, thank you for intentionally leading your families towards Jesus! Jay

Very thankful for Jay’s balanced approach to all the topics he covers. He brings both compassion and truth to his messages. Really enjoying the encouragement that comes from this podcast!

Just found you and am so thankful to be able to relate to the content and be encouraged that it’s not too late to make the necessary changes in my life. I listened to the Aidan Till episode and subsequently listened to his sermon. So good!!! I was laughing at one moment and crying in the next moment. God revealed a few key things to me and I am so very thankful. Looking forward to getting caught up on past episodes.

I’ve recently stumbled across this podcast and have enjoyed it.

I’ve been enjoying getting parenting and marriage advice! Thank you for speaking truth!

I am 24 and have been married for almost 2 years. My wife and I want to have kids sometime down the road (3-5 years likely) and I wanted to tell you what a great source of insight this podcast has been for me as I think about the future and as I continue my walk with God. I haven’t caught up in the podcasts completely just yet, but I’ll be listening!

Thank you for sharing your heart and wisdom to help others walk through life and parenting with biblical mindset. It lifted my heart at just the right time!

I'm so thankful that I found your podcast! I am a 48 year old mom to 4 and my husband (52) and I have just become licensed foster parents (prayerfully awaiting our first placement). I came to Christ at 30 and my husband some years after me. We approached parenting like we did many other things - unintentionally. With our 1st two children (now 23 and 26), we listened to and followed much of what the world said. God blessed a little later in life with two more children (ages 10 and 15). We often say they are our "second chance" at this parenting thing. Your podcasts has been so practically helpful for some real life parenting issues. Thank you for the hard work, prayers, and love for others that goes into creating such quality content! The Let's Parent on Purpose podcast has blessed me greatly! Be encouraged that what you are doing is a worthy work and it is equipping even the more "mature" moms and dads out there!

Thank you for your encouraging words of wisdom my husband and I are newlyweds and are currently looking to attend a new church. I appreciate the help and time you have taken to shine light on this topic.

I’ve been looking for some real parenting advice, and I’m so grateful to have found this podcast! As a parent with a special needs child, twins, and a foster child, I was looking for solid, Biblical, truthful, joyful parenting direction. I appreciate the truthfulness and realness (not fluffy, feel good nonsense), but also the focus on the importance, joy, and privilege of parenting! THANK YOU for making this podcast!

I really enjoy these let’s parent on purpose podcasts. It shares my vision and mission on how I want to raise my children. The topics are really good and I share them with friends often. Keep them coming!!

Jay has been our pastor for many years and we are so thankful to the Lord for his wisdom & leadership! He practices what he preaches! We love the LPOP podcasts! So much excellent advice from God’s Word, book reviews, and wise, experienced guests on the show. We want to thrive in parenting & not just survive and this is an incredible resource to accomplish this! Thx Jay! Dave & Keri Olsen

I’ve only listened to 2 podcasts so far, but I’m already feeling so uplifted! Last summer was very stressful for me. I have four children and we followed no routine. I want this summer to be completely different. I realize in order for it to be that way I need to plan ahead. I came across this podcast about setting goals and now I’m so excited! I started brainstorming about making my little ones age 6 and eight a summer workbook. I can’t wait to put it together! Thank you so much for this podcast!
