=====

Joy Wendling is a Children's and Family Minister turned Stay-at-Home Mom to her 5 little girls. Growing up in the South, Jesus has always been a part of her life, but it wasn't until college that she came to know him as a friend and realized that he desires a daily relationship with her. This experience started Joy's journey and passion for equipping families to take responsibility of their children's discipleship.  For a time her Family Ministry also overlapped with Christian Early Childhood Education, which is where Joy fell in love with play and its benefits for learning and well-being. Joy is now a play advocate and believes play is the best way to engage children in discipleship.

Currently, Joy is encouraging mamas to point their children to Christ with play at her blog CreatedtoPlay.com and hosts a podcast called Playfully Faithful Parenting. She also offers Christian Parenting Coaching for developmentally-appropriate discipleship and discipline through play and connection.
