Raising the Remnant
Hosted by Whitney Stadtman · ENGLISH
NOT your mom’s parenting podcast.
No formulas. No fluff. No pretending we’ve got it all figured out.
I’m a wife, a mom of two wild-hearted boys, and I’m done playing it safe with parenting. I don’t want polite, well-behaved kids who blend in—I’m raising bold, grounded, Spirit-filled leaders who know who they are and Whose they are.
In a world spiraling with confusion, fear, and watered-down truth, we don’t need more parenting hacks—we need vision. We need courage. We need to raise a remnant.
This podcast is a raw, honest journey into raising kids who are unshakable kids who were born to lead, not follow. Inspired by Esther 4:14, this space is for parents who are willing to do it differently... because raising world-changers was never supposed to look “normal.”
If you’re over the status quo and hungry for purpose-driven parenting that challenges the culture, you’re in the right place.

What No One Tells You About Grown Kids
May 26, 202501:40:01Tap to summarizeYou raise them for 18 years… and then no one tells you what comes next. The silence. The distance. The guilt. The grief of letting go. In this heartfelt conversation, Whitney Stadtman sits down with her mom, Tammie, who raised four daughters and now grandparents 17 grandkids, to unpack the hard questions parents quietly carry after their children are grown. This episode of Raising the Remnant explores what it really looks like to walk with your adult children in grace, how to process unmet expectations, grandparent in a modern world, and find joy in the season of letting go. This is the conversation no one warned you about, but every parent needs. Whether you're grieving the silence, longing for connection, or wondering if you did enough; this is for you.

We Thought We Were Settled...Then God Shifted Everything!
Mar 25, 202500:44:58Tap to summarizeWe thought we were settled… and then everything shifted…again. To every remnant pioneer family, this message is for you. If 2025 began in a swirl of transition, grief, or deep questioning; you're not alone. Our family knows the ache of surrender, the trauma of being stripped down to nothing, and the crazy things God asks you to do like moving into a bell tent in the middle of an Idaho winter after a word from the Lord. But in this wild obedience, Jesus has walked with us. And He’s spoken clearly.

Helping Our Kids Grow in Discernment | Raising the Remnant
Aug 1, 202400:26:02Tap to summarizeThe word discern is a translation of the Greek word anakrino in the New Testament. It means “to distinguish, to separate out by diligent search, to examine.” Discernment is the ability to properly discriminate or make determinations. The times and seasons we find ourselves in at home, nationwide and globally, is going to require incredible discernment from our kids. No, we can't keep them from never making a mistake or missing some important queue, but we can help them grow in their ability to discern WELL and be wise. Today I want to talk about practical ways to help your child grow in this area.

What To Do When Kids Hide | Not What You Think | Raising the Remnant
Jul 25, 202401:02:48Tap to summarizeAnyone who is a parent, has "been there, done that, got the t-shirt" of our kids hiding something from us. Whether they hide something big, something embarrassing, or something small, every parent will traverse this issue at some point in their parenting journey. If we are going to raise a remnant, we have to help our kids get to the root of WHY we want to hide from the very people who love us most. Today, I want to discuss some deep revelation the Lord has given me in regard to this topic. It hit me like a ton of bricks and I felt like I HAD to share it with all of you!

Stewarding Freedom | NOT Rules | Raising the Remnant
Jul 18, 202400:21:04Tap to summarizeI have often said that the rules we make should mirror the relationship we want our kids to have with God, others, and themselves. In this episode, I want to take that a step further and talk about how we use guidelines as a way to teach our children to steward the freedom that is their birthright in Christ. Let me say that again, "freedom is a birthright". And learning to walk in that freedom is an incredibly important part of being a REMNANT.

Navigating Tough Things Together| The Family as a Unit | Raising the Remnant
Jul 11, 202400:36:26Tap to summarizeIn today's episode, I want to flip the script on how we present change, transition, and challenges to our children. I want to share how God has taught our family to navigate these things AS A UNIT! As parents, there is often pressure to shield our kids from hard things. But I believe that not only sells them short but also teaches them to sell God short. Let's talk about letting them into our pain and hardship in a way that teaches them who God is and gives our children to see themselves as valued members of our families and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Families Who Encounter God Together: Hearing His Voice
May 9, 202400:52:21Tap to summarizeI am SOOO Excited for this episode! Today I am joined by a very good friend of mine, Shelbi Micken. As a former children's pastor and the owner of Awaken International Inc, a non-profit organization that exists to Awaken children to their true calling in Christ, Shelbi has some amazing wisdom to share about creating space for our children to encounter God. I believe that we, as parents, have a calling to help equip our "remnant" by training them to encounter God and learn to hear His voice personally and corporately within our homes and beyond. #raisingtheremnant #remnantgeneration #children #family #God #discipleship #mother #motherhood

Strategies for Equipping our Kids, Part 2
Apr 18, 202400:22:03Tap to summarizeIn order to raise a remnant, I believe we need to understand the tools available to us for equipping them. We must invite our children into the process of utilizing these tools, as a family unit. It doesn't matter where you are starting this journey, begin with one step. Step into seeing Biblical tools in a new way and learn alongside your children in how to use them. #raisingtheremnant #remnantgeneration #children #family #God #discipleship #mother #motherhood #mom
