Ep. 119: Raising Peacemakers

If our homes aren’t places of peace, where will our children ever learn how to resolve conflict, show empathy, and extend forgiveness? As moms, we see it daily—sibling squabbles, hurt feelings, and the challenge of guiding our kids through disagreements. But raising peacemakers isn’t about avoiding conflict—it’s about stepping into hard moments with the goal of restoration.

In this episode of Mom to Mom, September McCarthy, Kate Battistelli, and Jamie Erickson unpack what it means to cultivate hearts that seek harmony. We’ll talk about how to model peace in our own reactions, teach our children biblical conflict resolution, and equip them to stand firm in their faith while still leading with grace.

✔️ Practical ways to teach kids to resolve conflict with empathy and wisdom

✔️ How to balance peacemaking with standing firm in truth

✔️ Biblical principles for navigating disagreements with grace

✔️ Tools and phrases to guide kids through disagreements

It’s not always easy, but it is possible to raise peacemakers who reflect Christ’s love in a divided world. Tune in and let’s encourage one another in this calling!
