SUMMER is a great time to play catch, isn’t it? We can take a breath and enjoy life at a slower pace.  That’s exactly what we plan to do over the next few weeks! The Raising Sinners Podcast will be re-playing some of our favorite episodes (and yours!). Today we’re talking CHANGE. Join us for our final RE-PLAY this summer as we discuss seasons of change with our friend Debbie Stephens.  Stay cool! Lisa and Chrissie

 

Change is inevitable.  But all at one time? New city.  New church.  New friends.  New schools.  New home.  New dog (hey Moose!) 

 

The Stephens family has experienced lots of change in the couple of years and we wanted to check in with the queen of the household herself, Mrs. Debbie Stephens! Wife, mom, speaker, teacher and funny girl, Debbie shares from her heart how they’ve navigated their new normal.  

 

Debbie is married to Jarrett Stephens, senior pastor of Champion Forest Baptist Church in Northwest Houston, Texas.  They have 4 daughters and 2 dogs.  (Fun fact: both Jarrett and Debbie have been guests on The Wonder Podcast! ☺)

 

“Obedience is costly but so worth it.”  Debbie Stephens

 

In obedience, the Stephens family left their life in the Dallas area and embarked on a new journey, but it wasn’t easy.  

 

Teaching our children to be flexible is difficult on many levels because most find their security in routines and consistency.  Change is hard.  But the Stephens family has done it with grace and come out on the other side shining bright! Listen in to Debbie’s tips on communicating change with your kids and giving space to grieving, new schedules and making choices.  

 

As always, thanks for listening! We appreciate you! Lisa and Chrissie
