In this week’s episode we revisit an incredible episode full of Godly wisdom for your blended family; Blended & Redeemed: Your Home is Not Broken. In this episode we discuss the term “broken home” and the importance of removing the phrase from our vocabulary. When our families are built on the foundation of Jesus Christ, they cannot be broken. Whatever is in your past does not hinder you from experiencing the blessings that God has in store for your blended family. 

Whether you are new to blended family life, beginning to blend or are in any way impacted or influenced by blended family issues, this episode is for you!

We pray this episode blesses you today!
