“Train up a child in the way he should go— but be sure you go that way yourself.” – Charles Spurgeon

Sweet mama,
Today we’re revisiting a powerful conversation from the Help Club archives that speaks directly to one of the most painful challenges facing our families: bullying.

In this Throwback Mom Tips Friday Special, Deb Weakly sits down with her dear friend Kathryn Egly, a devoted mom of four boys, to share real stories, Spirit-led wisdom, and practical strategies for walking through the storm of bullying with your children—and coming out stronger on the other side.

From a personal experience with her son being bullied on the school bus, to a surprising and heartwarming encounter with the child responsible, Katherine’s story reminds us that hurt people often hurt people, but healed hearts can help heal others.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• How to talk with your child about bullying, whether they’re experiencing it or witnessing it

• What steps to take with school staff and how to advocate effectively

• How to create an atmosphere of safety, honesty, and open communication at home

• The power of praying Scripture and declarations over your children daily

• Why your love, presence, and prayers are your child’s greatest weapons

Deb and Katherine also dive into deeper issues like cyberbullying, spiritual warfare, and the enemy’s attempts to derail children with great purpose and calling. Deb vulnerably shares her own childhood experience with bullying and the emotional toll it took—offering hope to every mom who may be walking through something similar today.

But through it all, one truth remains clear: God sees. God hears. And God fights for your children.
And so do we, Mama.

“Be strong and very courageous… Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
—Joshua 1:9

We encourage you to listen to the full episode, pray over your children daily, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you be deeply in tune with what’s happening in their world: both seen and unseen.

You are not alone, and your prayers are powerful.

Let’s rise up together to protect, love, and guide our children into God’s destiny for their lives.

Co-founder at Help Club for Moms

My name is Deb Weakly and I helped create the Help Club for Moms with one goal in mind: to create a community in which moms help moms to know the love of Christ. My own childhood was difficult and filled with sadness. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home, so when I became a Christian (and soon after, a mom), I had no idea what I was doing; I didn’t know what it meant to raise Christ-centered kids, but I so desperately wanted to learn.

I remember going into my daughter's room night after night and kneeling beside her bed and crying my heart out to God because I didn’t know how to be a Christian mom; I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. You know what? God is so faithful! He answered me and simply said, “Spend time with me, Deb.” And so I did. I began arising 15-30 minutes earlier each day so I could read my Bible and pray, and plan out my day with my family.

If there was one thing I would love to share with you is that God is personal and loves you as you are. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved by our amazing God! Come as you are! His loving presence can be practically known and experienced. He is not a God who is far away, He is near and easily found. He longs for you to come to Him!

Randy and I have been married for 33 years and we have two grown children, Christie, and Jack, and one answer to prayer son-in-law named Alex. And now I get to be a Gigi to my sweet little grandbabies, Aspen and Skylar, and Piper. Yay!
