    For me, hearing from Cynthia in the “next stage” of parenting is so helpful. I love hearing that she enjoys her teenagers, struggled like I did with some of the little kid stuff, and most of all I love hearing about her mother-daughter relationship as I have three girls! This show gives me hope and perspective as well as encouragement in Christian parenting.
