NASHVILLE, April 22, 2021 /Standard Newswire/ -- Parents, grandparents, pastors, pediatricians, educators, and counselors across the world are loving Raising Boys and Girls, which reached 1 million downloads this Spring. Releasing weekly each Tuesday, the podcast, which has garnered more than 900 5-star ratings on iTunes, tackles top-of-mind topics in parenting from consistency and patience to connection and freedom.

Minno Life's Raising Boys & Girls podcast is a hope-filled and evidence-based tool that today's parents can rely on to inform their daily parenting practices and build their family culture. The show's top downloads on kids and covid, patience, consistency, and balance highlight critical pain-points in parenting, each addressed by national leading experts and authors. The Raising Boys and Girls podcast is a partnership between Minno and Daystar Counseling Ministries, both Nashville, Tennessee-based, organizations focused on supporting families as they navigate a life of faith and connection.

"This is core to our mission—to be a resource—and we are so thrilled that parents are consistently and in growing numbers turning to this content as they ride the parenting rollercoaster," says Sissy Goff, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP, CCATP, seven-time author, and principal at Daystar Counseling Ministries. "No one should face parenting alone, whether you're in a relationship, single, a grandparent, or another caregiver entrusted with a child's growing up years. While we wish we could meet with every family like those we see regularly in our practice, we are so glad our virtual door is opening wider!"

"This podcast is part of a broad range of support for parents that Minno offers, from Biblical programs on our streaming app to articles and guides on key parent topics," says Erick Goss, co-founder and CEO of Minno. "We know that parents can feel lonely as they try to raise their kids in faith. Our research tells us that. The community that is being built around this podcast and other resources available is one we only hope to expand."

New podcasts will continue throughout the summer, delving into topics like technology, summer camps, and encouragement for grandparents. Season 4 will premier in the Fall around the theme of the book, Modern Parents, Vintage Values, and will feature national voices including:

  • Dr. Meg Meeker, Ph.D., best-selling author, pediatrician, and parenting expert
     
  • Arlene Pellicane, author, speaker, podcaster, screen-time expert
     
  • Dr. Chinwé Williams, licensed professional counselor, author and speaker
