Once you begin to have kids, how do you balance ministry life with family life? In this episode, Kyle and Selina share how they went from serving in church ministries as singles and as a married couple, and how they had to relearn what it meant to serve God's children after having kids.

Even with all the planning and preparation (and Sabbaticals) that go into having kids, you and your spouse could still wind up feeling burned out once you bring ministry back into the picture. How you used to serve and the values of serving God's people will take on an entirely new meaning as the blessings of children come into play. Tune in as we share what we did, what didn't work, and what we consider now to raise our children to love the Lord, and serve His church through ministry.

Other topics mentioned in this episode:

In this episode, Kyle and Selina look back on their earliest communication mishaps and share how they discovered that couples not only speak two different languages but also must learn how to communicate throughout their entire relationship. 

Communication is one of those things that every couple will always have to work on. 
Even if you think you're good at it. Why? Because even though you may speak the same language, there will be times when you are totally speaking two different languages!

As we continue through our 2024 series of setting your relationship FOUNDATION, all month long we will be sharing our stories, advice, and thoughts on the topic of COMMUNICATION.
