My fellow large-family-homeschool-mom friend Rachael Carman is joining me today and we’re talking through the transition to an empty nest and the emotions that come with it. We’re sharing advice for you guys preparing for the empty nest and encouraging you to find purpose and have a plan to pursue your own interests during what doesn’t have to be a challenging season of life. 
Come back for Happy Hour where we’re getting the scoop on Rachael and Davis’ love story, some of their favorite family memories, and talking about some of our favorite ways to stay off the bench.

Standing Firm in Modern Day Babylon with David and Jason Benham

Several listeners have questions about their underlying or long term illnesses, and Dr. Mark’s answers have a common thread. Shingles, multiple sclerosis, epstein-barr, meningitis, and hormonal acne, to name a few.
We’re also talking about the science behind hydrogen water and how you can decide if it’s right for you.

Seeking Health: Maximizing Health with Long Term Concerns with Dr. Mark Sherwood

Life is just confusing sometimes, isn’t it? Today’s podcast is a collection of questions that don’t have clear answers. Thankfully we have the Lord to lean on and ask for wisdom!
Trump isn’t all that strong on abortion. Should I still vote for him? | Our daughter has gone “no contact” on us and won’t tell us why. | My co-worker has invited me to her homosexual wedding. What should I do? | What missionary stories did you read? 
Listen in, friends! I think you’ll be encouraged.

Mailbox Monday: Trump, No Contact Kids, and Missionary Stories

LifeWise Academy is on a mission to reach school children with the gospel—during school hours!  When LifeWise launched in 2018, the initial goal was to serve 25 schools by 2025, but it surpassed that long ago. By the start of this year, LifeWise had set up chapters in more than 300 schools in a dozen states, teaching 35,000 public school students weekly Bible lessons that are usually scheduled to coincide with lunch or non core courses such as library, art or gym class.
