One of us chooses homeschool and one of us chooses public school. We each have our reasons, but how do we discern what is best for our families? How do we respect the choices and convictions of others? What should we, as Jesus followers, do? Tune in for this short episode where we share our thoughts! It’s a chat between friends you don’t want to miss!

We are so excited to be able to connect you with Scott & Vanessa Martindale from Blended Kingdom Families, an amazing ministry that exists to help couples in remarriage and to cultivate community among blended families.

Scott & Vanessa know firsthand the joys and difficulties blended families face and now serve other blended families in a variety of ways through their multi-faceted ministry and counseling services.

In this episode, we cover topics (including questions from you!) ranging from co-parenting, equipping kids for marriage, parenting stepchildren, how the Church can better support blended families, and more.

If you come from a blended family, have one of your own, know someone who does, or none of the above, there is something for everyone to learn about calling/parenting/marriage/love, etc.

In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of talking with someone we LOVE to follow on Instagram - Amy Eilers of House of Eilers!!! We chat about simplifying spaces and routines to more fully embrace and find joy in everyday life. Amy is a joy to talk to, a breath of fresh air, and full of such useful wisdom! You’ll especially love the “advice round” where Amy gives advice for people in specific situations. This conversation went way deeper than decluttering and is truly one of the best conversations on Christian faith and life that we’ve ever had. Stay tuned through the end of the episode for a new, short little segment we are trying out at the end of our shows - a “convo after the convo” if you will!
