About Us

Who we are and how we got started
Are you passionate about helping children build a strong foundation in Jesus? Raising Christian Kids is here to help!

We want to serve and walk beside you on your parenting journey. We are here to provide the tools you need to help you mold your child’s heart and mind so they will be able to stand strong in their faith in an increasingly anti-Christian, humanistic culture that seeks to undermine and even destroy our youth.

Raising Christian Kids is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Ministry.

OUR MISSION

To equip parents and caregivers to become the best spiritual leaders for their children by providing free and affordable biblical resources.

OUR VISION

To partner with like-minded Christian organizations to create multiple opportunities for all families to receive the tools they need to educate and empower the next generation of warriors for Christ with an unbreakable faith that lasts a lifetime.

Hi, I’m Lee Ann Mancini!

I’m passionate about equipping parents, grandparents, and caregivers with the tools they need to help their children build a strong foundation in Jesus!

Raising Christian Kids didn't start out as an organization or even the thought of one. I was just spending time with my children, teaching them about who God is, His great love, and how to be loving and compassionate to others. When they were little I wrote my first book, Fast Freddy, about a young “sharktopus” who overcomes the ridicule of being different.

One book led to another. Over time, I wrote a series of 7 award-winning children's picture books that ultimately turned into an award-winning animated series consisting of  26 episodes about under-the-sea kid characters who learn about God’s morals and values, and how to live those daily. The Sea Kids series can be viewed today on Answers.TV, Pure Flix, Right Now Media, Minnow and Yippee.

My passion for helping parents help their children grow in their faith led me to start my award-winning podcast, Raising Christian Kids, where I speak with some of the brightest minds in the Christian parenting arena. We talk about topics ranging from helping your children become better listeners and healthier eaters to dealing with stress and anxiety, understanding grief and loss, methods of discipline, understanding Scripture, and much more. You can listen here, or on any of the major platforms.

I am an adjunct professor at South Florida Bible College and Theological Seminary where I also serve on the Board of Directors. I maintain memberships with many Christian organizations and was honored to be the recipient of the prestigious Jennifer Kennedy Dean award for outstanding service.

I am happily married to my husband Guy, with two adult children, living in South Florida. I love to read, jog, and teach the Word of God!

Raising Kids to Follow Christ: Instilling a Lifelong Trust in God

With a simple "yes" to God's calling, this book was born, shaped by godly wisdom, personal research, and my extensive biblical education.  It is a comprehensive, Holy Spirit inspired parenting guide created out of my deep desire to serve all who are raising the next generation. I’ve also spent time learning from some of today’s most trusted voices in children’s spirituality, and I’ve gathered those insights into one place to walk alongside you in your parenting journey.

Rooted in Deuteronomy 6:4–9, this guide is designed to help you intentionally teach God’s Word, model your faith, and shape your child’s heart through virtue and character transformation. Through personal stories, practical steps, and Scripture woven throughout, I’ll help you move from simply correcting behavior to truly discipling your children—equipping you with confidence, clarity, and encouragement for everyday moments.
