Upside-Down Parenting

Summit Ministries

Do you feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of helping your kids see the world the way God does? Does parenting sometimes leave you feeling disoriented—like you're spinning upside-down?

You're not alone. We love our kids and want more than anything for them to grow up with flourishing faith. Each episode of this podcast will give you practical insight, biblical wisdom, and encouragement for the journey. We're here to walk through both the hard stuff and the everyday stuff with you. By connecting truth with relationships, we can create a powerful, lasting influence in a child's life. When our kids experience both—the clarity of biblical truth and the security of God's love, and yours—it creates a space for real transformation.

If parenting feels upside-down sometimes, that's okay—following God's design often is upside-down compared to everything around us, and that's exactly what makes it powerful.

Welcome to Upside-Down Parenting from Summit Ministries. Let's journey together.

    Mother's Day: Becoming the Upside-Down Mom w/ Cat Jones | Ep. 42

    In this special Mother's Day episode of the Upside-Down Parenting Podcast, Matt Jones and Janel Greig sit down with Cat Jones to explore what it really means to be a 'good mom' in God's upside-down Kingdom. In a culture that pushes performance, comparison, and perfection, this conversation invites moms into something radically different—faithfulness, surrender, and trust. Cat shares honestly from her own motherhood journey, offering wisdom, encouragement, and practical insight for moms in every season—from sleepless nights to launching young adults. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or just trying to keep up, this episode is a reminder that God has already equipped you for the role he's called you to. In this episode, we cover: *Redefining what success looks like for a Kingdom-focused mom *Why surrender matters more than striving *Letting go of comparison and embracing faithfulness *Choosing presence over perfection *Trusting God through every stage of motherhood Motherhood isn't about getting everything right—it's about walking faithfully with God in the moments that matter most. If this episode encouraged you, share it with a mom who needs to hear it this Mother's Day 💛 Resources we talked about or that we'd recommend: *How to Set a Family Mission, Values, & Verse Together—A New Year Reset for Christian Parents *Single, Dating, Engaged, Married: Navigating Life and Love in the Modern Age—Ben Stuart *Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments—Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler *Hard Is Not the Same Thing as Bad: The Perspective Shift That Could Completely Change the Way You Mother—Abbie Halberstadt
