  • Officially homeschooling

    After many years of consideration, we have officially decided to homeschool our four children. We feel that giving them better rest, slower mornings, more time exploring outside, quality family moments and room to pursue their interests & passions is our best option forward. Navigating the road to this decision hasn’t been easy, yet listening to Ginny and her wonderful podcast & book recommendations has been a breath of hope moving forward; helping light our path ahead. Thank you Ginny for your ... more

  • Bless You!

    Ginny, you are a gift! Your enthusiasm and joy are contagious and I am super grateful for your wholehearted love and service to Jesus, even when life has some very tough moments (thinking of your church experience). The fact that you cling to Jesus speaks volumes about your love for and trust in Him, and is an awesome example for those of us who listen to your podcast. Thank you! He alone is worthy of all we are!

  • Helping Kids Do Hard Things Again | David Thomas and Sissy Goff, Capable

    This episode was really enjoyable to listen to and felt incredibly relevant and grounded in what families are experiencing right now. The conversation around shrinking comfort zones and supporting kids in building real-world resilience was especially eye-opening, with insights that felt both practical and immediately applicable.

  • Disappointed

    I’ve been a listener to this pod since it first started and have enjoyed so many episodes. But I was really disappointed in the recent episode with Fortesa Latifi. The episode discusses the nuance behind having children featured in online content that is being monetized by influencers. It was a great discussion highlighting both sides of the spectrum until the very end when Ginny felt the need to make a jab at the Mormon church by saying that “they pay their women influencers” without giving any... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1KHO 813: Joy Grows in the Valley | Tim Timmons, Waking Up Again
Q: What did the 'X' on your wrist come to symbolize for you, and how did that shape your daily life?
The X became a daily reminder to replace worry with trust, a prompt to start each day asking Jesus to have his attention, and a way to anchor daily actions in a larger purpose beyond personal ambition. It evolved into a practice of seeking first the kingdom rather than personal gain.
1KHO 813: Joy Grows in the Valley | Tim Timmons, Waking Up Again
Q: Can you talk about the part where you tell your kids about your cancer diagnosis and how you navigated that conversation?
Tim explains they faced a delicate moment, deciding to tell their kids at an age-appropriate level and prayers about opening doors for conversations; they chose honesty, hope, and a faith-centered approach to discussing prognosis, making space for questions and trust in God. The moment became a turning point in how they talk about fear and faith as a family.
1KHO 810: The Missing Roadmap to Adulthood | JP Pokluda, Welcome to Adulting
Q: What role does dating and marriage play in a healthy adulthood, and how should parents frame these topics?
Parents should teach a mindful approach to dating and marriage that prioritizes character, alignment in life goals, and long-term commitment, while acknowledging the historical context of how relationships formed and avoiding the notion that chemistry alone guarantees lasting partnerships; structure guidance toward building stable, growth-oriented relationships.
1KHO 810: The Missing Roadmap to Adulthood | JP Pokluda, Welcome to Adulting
Q: How should families approach choosing a career or pursuing work they can grow into rather than just chasing passion?
The conversation emphasizes loving what you do in terms of purpose and contribution rather than chasing a fleeting passion; develop expertise in a domain, endure grind and setbacks, and allow growth to lead to mastery, which is more reliable for long-term fulfillment than passion alone.
1KHO 810: The Missing Roadmap to Adulthood | JP Pokluda, Welcome to Adulting
Q: What advice do you have for parents guiding transition years when considering college or careers?
The guidance centers on honest communication about what to expect, helping kids map routes through different paths, and recognizing that college isn't the only route; parents should tailor advice to each child, foster practical decision-making, and prepare them for the real-world consequences of different choices, including finances and early independence.
