Today, we talk with Julie Chisum, a mom, church member, member of her community.  We talk about how the community the support of the church is different than other communities we are apart of. 

In season 4, we ask the question, Why Church? In this year of 2021, where everything is still a bit different, and some things feel similar.  Let’s take some time and ask- WHY CHURCH?

This year has reminded us, as parents, that we are the ultimate leader with our children.  This has always been true; just in the past, we had different support systems to help us along the way.  In 2020, those support systems looked different, and we took a heavy load of teaching, tutoring, loving, disciplining, counseling, playing, etc., with our children
