In this powerful conversation, Bill High shares how he walked away from a successful law career to help families discover what it truly means to leave a legacy. Instead of focusing only on financial inheritance, he invites families to think about the values, faith, and traditions they’re passing down to their children and future generations.

Together, we explore real-life struggles like family conflict and the hard conversations every parent faces, while also unpacking biblical wisdom for communication, forgiveness, and unity at home.

Have you’ve ever felt pulled in a thousand directions? This episode will meet you right in that swirl of motherhood. Abbey Wedgeworth, author, mom, and teacher, joins us to share real-life encouragement for parenting with intention—even in the middle of grocery lists, sibling arguments, and mental overload.

She introduces her "Three to Five Method"—a refreshingly simple way for busy moms to root themselves in Scripture. This isn’t another to-do list item. It’s a quiet invitation to recalibrate your soul in the Word, even when time and energy feel scarce.

We also talk about raising children with a heart-first approach—moving beyond just correcting behavior and instead nurturing wisdom, empathy, and emotional fluency. Abbey gives practical tools for discipling kids, resolving sibling conflict, and using everyday moments (yes, even the chaotic ones) to speak life and truth into your children.

Most importantly, she reminds us that you don’t have to do this alone. Parenting is sacred work, and the Holy Spirit is your constant, faithful companion.

• Discipling your children can happen naturally in everyday routines—mealtime, school pickups, and even sibling squabbles.
• Empathy is essential for teaching kids how to navigate conflict resolution and build emotional intelligence.
• Effective parenting means focusing on your child’s heart and character, not just their outward behavior.
• Using biblical character words helps children understand their identity in Christ from a young age.
• Being emotionally present with your kids can reduce overwhelm and promote connection over chaos.
• Prayer is a powerful parenting tool—a way to surrender control and invite the Holy Spirit into everyday challenges.
• Teaching kids how to express themselves clearly builds confidence and healthy communication habits.
