You're not the only mom feeling this way.

I hear from moms like you every single day.

“I feel like if I didn’t call everyone together for scripture study I’m pretty sure it would never happen.”

“My teenagers hate scripture study. Even when I remember to do it, they are tuned out the whole time.”

“I want my teenager to build their own testimony, but they just don’t seem to care.”

“Half the time, I go to bed feeling guilty for not doing more. I feel like if my kids leave the church it will be my fault.”

HEY FRIEND! I’M KRISTEN.

You don’t have to be a gospel expert to raise spiritually strong kids.

I’m a mom, a podcaster, and an author who has spent years figuring out what actually works for families with teenagers.

  My tools help busy LDS moms make scripture study simple, consistent, and meaningful, no matter how little time you have!

Thousands of moms use my resources every week. I’m so glad you’re here.
