When your kids say, “Mom, I’m bored,” does your stomach twist a little? You’re not alone. In this episode, Kelsey unpacks why we’ve come to see boredom as a problem—and why it’s actually a powerful opportunity for growth, imagination, and even spiritual formation.

She shares her personal reflections on homeschooling, how our culture has conditioned us to fear stillness, and how helping our children learn to sit in the quiet prepares them to one day hear their own inner voice—and the gentle whisper of the Holy Spirit.

You’ll also learn practical ways to respond when your kids are bored, including:
• Why quick fixes like screens, toys, and playdates often backfire
• How to redirect boredom into creativity, responsibility, and connection
• The spiritual power of silence and unstructured time

If you’ve been feeling the pressure to entertain your kids 24/7, this episode will help you exhale, trust the process, and rediscover the beauty of calm, quiet, and creativity in your home.

Listen in and be reminded: boredom isn’t a crisis—it’s an invitation to something sacred.
