Are you ready to change the cultural narrative about sex? Today, my husband is joining me and we’re having an honest discussion…his view and mine, of the good (and the not-so-good) about sex and marriage. The takeaway? After nearly 28 years of marriage, we believe it’s good and it’s worth prioritizing. Listen in!

It’s so tempting to push off that hint or snuggle from our husband at the end of a long tiring day, and get distracted by the laundry we need to switch and the clothes that need folded (right in the middle of our bed), right? But God’ designed sex for our GOOD! which means it’s worth prioritizing. In this three part series, we’re talking about God’s design, his needs, her needs, and more!

We are frequently asked some questions about the number of kids we have, why we had so many, how old we were, and the big one: what we think about birth control. And I’m here to say that I won’t tell you! But I do have a lot to say about it having babies and what the Lord says about children, so listen in today.

Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.

It takes a lot of work to train our children, and while we spend a lot of our time and mental energy focusing on it, there is a point where we can forget whose job it really is to save our kids. We can wear ourselves out and forget that God is mighty to save, and it’s His job to begin with! So relax, Mom. Do your best in training and remember that our great God created your children for His glory. HE is mighty to save! He’s good like that. 🙂

I recently got an email from a mom who is having some trouble disciplining her kids.I’m sure we can all agree we have trouble with that from time to time – right?
Parenting is not easy. God wants to shape you, mold you, through the process of parenting your children. Listen to part 4 of 4 as we talk about arguing in our kids, and let’s talk through how to replace that with respect and humility!
