Parenting often feels like a race toward the next milestone—or a desperate attempt to “fix” what isn’t working right now. In this introductory episode, we invite you to slow down and consider a different question: What if your child’s development is not a problem to solve, but a process God designed?

In this episode, we lay the foundation for the entire "Are We There Yet?" series by introducing a developmental lens for parenting. In this episode, Presley and Val explore how children grow in predictable (but not always easy) ways, how unmet developmental needs often show up as relational struggles, and how faith invites us to trust the long, grace-filled journey rather than rush toward outcomes.

Whether you’re parenting a baby, a teen, or somewhere in between, this episode sets the tone for a series about growth, grace, and trusting God with the journey—especially when you’re tempted to ask, “Are we there yet?”
