EP. 33 Rediscovering the True Meaning Behind God's Promises with Hannah Pierrou In this inspiring episode of the Welcome Home by Gina podcast, I'm joined by author, speaker, and Treehouse Storyteller founder Hannah Pierrou for a thoughtful conversation about helping our children build a biblical worldview from an early age. Together, we dive into Hannah's beautiful new children's book about the rainbow and rediscover the true meaning behind one of God's most recognizable promises. In a culture where symbols often take on new meanings, Hannah shares why it's so important for Christian families to teach children that the rainbow is first and foremost a reminder of God's covenant, His faithfulness, and the hope we have in Him. We also talk about Hannah's engaging podcast, Upright Christian Parenting, where she equips parents to disciple their children with confidence and intentionality. Our conversation explores the joys and challenges of raising children who know and love God's Word, as well as practical ways parents can weave biblical truth into everyday family life. Hannah also shares about her book Creation Without a Bang, discussing how families can confidently approach questions about creation, science, and faith from a biblical perspective. Whether you're navigating tough conversations with curious kids or simply looking for resources to strengthen your family's faith, Hannah offers thoughtful encouragement and practical wisdom rooted in Scripture. If you're a parent, grandparent, homeschool family, children's ministry leader, or anyone with a heart for passing on a legacy of faith to the next generation, this episode will encourage you to stand firm in God's truth while pointing children to His unchanging promises.
