Does starting a family means giving up your dreams—or does it actually unlock a richer, more fulfilling life?

Chris and Richelle Alessi open up about their own leap into parenthood, tackling the fears, cultural pressures, and surprising joys that come with having children. Using real-life stories—like trading dream vacations for unforgettable family moments—they weigh in on America’s declining birth rate and how embracing family can actually boost your career, happiness, and even your finances.

Get ready to challenge the idea that kids hold you back, as the Alessis reveal how their son Marino transformed their marriage, daily routine, and sense of legacy.

You'll discover why God’s design for having children and starting families isn’t just good for the economy and society —it’s the secret to a genuinely abundant life. 

Tune in for inspiration, encouragement, and some much-needed truth about what family can really mean.
