In this episode, Ed sits around the kitchen table with Tim and Hannah to ask: What’s it like to be a busy Christian parent?

Spoiler alert: It’s a bit overwhelming. And a bit joyful. And often both at once.

Tim and Hannah’s home is full - three kids, a Labrador, a Ukrainian house guest, an Airbnb, and 20 teenagers round every Sunday night. Life is busy, but this episode isn’t about burnout - it’s about how Jesus meets us in the middle of the chaos.

They share what it means to say no to good things, to fiercely guard Saturdays, and to prioritise what lasts: a relationship with Jesus. Tim reflects on the challenge of self-reliance, and how faith often feels distant - until God shows up in the unexpected moments, like a car ride or a chat at church.

From Bible times that fall apart to sticker-covered Bibles that suddenly work, it’s a reminder that we’re not failing parents just because we feel like we are - because God hasn’t let go of us, or our children.
