How to Prioritize God in the Busyness of Family Life with Fr. Nathan Cromly
Jordan LangdonWhen was the last time you felt completely overwhelmed by the endless demands of parenting while also feeling guilty about neglecting your spiritual life? If you're nodding in recognition, this conversation with Fr. Nathan Cromly offers a refreshing perspective that might just change everything.
We dive into practical ways busy parents can prioritize their faith and nurture a personal relationship with Jesus despite the chaos of family life.
• Using St. Paul the Apostle as a model for busy parents since he balanced work, travel, and ministry
• Letting go of "would have, could have, should have" thinking that creates unnecessary guilt
• Understanding that your struggles are not obstacles to faith but the starting point
• Prioritizing faith means making it important, not necessarily time-consuming
• Making Sunday sacred by creating simple family traditions that children will remember
• Praying with your spouse daily to create spiritual connection
• Recognizing that your primary mission as a parent is your family
