💫 Believing in the Good: Faith-Based Parenting Through the Lens of Belonging

💛 This heartfelt conversation explores what it means to raise kids with a faith rooted in love, goodness, equity and true belonging. Wendy sits down with author Mariko Clark and illustrator Rachel Eleanor, the creators of The Book of Belonging—a reimagined children’s Bible centered on original goodness, emotional literacy, inclusive imagery and a compassionate view of God.

They talk about what so many parents are navigating right now: healing from high-control theology, rethinking inherited beliefs and finding ways to introduce Scripture without shame, fear or pressure. Mari and Rachel share how their book came to be, why representation is essential in faith formation and how embodied, relational practices help kids feel safe with God and safe within themselves.

This episode is tender, honest and full of hope. If you’re deconstructing, rebuilding or somewhere in the beautifully messy middle, you’ll feel seen, supported and reminded that you’re not walking this road alone.
