Dr. James and Ginger Dellaripa take us on their journey of creating The Family Core, offering insights into the unique challenges faced by blended families and the critical role youth pastors play in their lives. Alongside some lighthearted banter with my boss's boss, Eric Epperson—from reminiscing about past improvisation antics to chatting about the NBA All-Star game—this episode is a fun one.

From the Dellaripas: When we chose to build our family foundation on the Lord, everything changed. What started as a commitment to trust Him with our home became the cornerstone of a Kingdom-centered family. Through faith, prayer, and His guidance, we’ve seen growth, healing, and purpose beyond what we could have imagined.

This foundation isn’t just for our blended family—it’s a launching pad to impact others, showing His love and grace in action. 

Be sure to check out The Family Core and share it with the blended families in your ministry!
