Episode 131: Intentional Habits for Discipling Your Kids

Bonni Greiner started her speaking journey 35 years ago where she was asked to talk about her Jewish upbringing in front of a church full of Mennonite women! As her relationship with Christ bloomed, God continued to ignite her passion to encourage and equip young moms. She not only raised 8 of her own children but lovingly feeds into her 14 grandchildren! You’ll be inspired by her words of wisdom as she shares the top habits in her household that were effective, as well as a few parenting changes she would make if she could do it all again!

Ready to glean from Bonni’s years of parenting wisdom? Let’s go!

BONNI GREINER is married to Nevin and is the mother of 8 adult children and 14 grandchildren. She was raised a Jew in the metropolitan Philadelphia area. She fell in love with and married Nevin, who she met in college. After marriage, she moved to his family’s hog farm as a new Christian and wife. Bonni had never tasted pork products and had no knowledge of farm life or Christianity. She quickly became a distinguished motivational speaker for women’s groups and is passionate about helping younger moms enjoy their roles as wives and mothers.
