  • Essential for parenting and marriage

    I am so grateful for this podcasts series. The topics are broad and remind you of the all aspects that a family is made up of and how and why it can be so challenging and so life giving at the same time. It makes you feel like the things you thought were crazy are actually normal for so many people. It also encourages us in the long game of following Jesus and makes the everyday not nearly as overwhelming (we too have four kids and it can feel a bit much at times-haha).

    The wisdom, biblical encouragement, and practical advice shared in each episode have challenged me, equipped me, and encouraged me in my daily motherhood journey. I alwa... more

Grief + Hope: Infertility, Miscarriage and the Weight of Waiting (w/ Chad and Hillary Blake)

Church Hurt, Conflict With Your Spouse, Fairness With Kids + Uninvolved Grandparents (Q+R)
Q: Any tips on navigating a mother-in-law who has retired from motherhood?
The panel suggests honoring those who raised you while inviting them to contribute in meaningful, age-appropriate ways; they recommend setting boundaries, communicating clearly, and helping grandparents find roles that matter to them without overstepping parental boundaries, while acknowledging the emotional complexity of this generational shift.
Church Hurt, Conflict With Your Spouse, Fairness With Kids + Uninvolved Grandparents (Q+R)
Q: Are we ready? Where is the line between absorbing small things and addressing issues so resentment doesn't build up?
The hosts discuss watching for patterns rather than isolated incidents, and emphasize absorbing minor irritations with grace while actively addressing recurring issues, especially if patterns harm the relationship; they also recommend checking in with personal pace and prayer, and ensuring conversations occur before resentment becomes entrenched.
Live Q+R from the Motherhood Retreat: Fostering Vulnerability, Receiving Criticism + Parenting Without a Healthy Model
Q: How do you stay honest and vulnerable with a spouse who hears feedback as criticism?
Emphasize transparency about your own feelings, acknowledge when a comment feels hard to receive, and invest in building a bank of affirmation so feedback lands as care; also work on tone, environment, and choosing timing to discuss sensitive topics.
Live Q+R from the Motherhood Retreat: Fostering Vulnerability, Receiving Criticism + Parenting Without a Healthy Model
Q: What are a few go-to questions that help a husband open up?
Questions like 'tell me more about that' and 'what does that feel like for you?' coupled with creating a supportive environment can help a husband open up, rather than pressing with 'how do you feel about this?' which may feel intimidating for some men.
