In today's episode we have special guest Aubrey Shelsta with us to about what it may look like to raise kids as someone who follows Jesus. Kenna and Molly essentially get to interview Garret and Aubrey about their experiences with parenting, their anxieties and how they deal with them, and how they practically foster a life of beauty and alignment with the way of Jesus.

We do want to acknowledge that everyone’s families look different, and we got to interview one very specific type of family about their experience of parenting. The church can sometimes elevate having kids as the ultimate end to strive for and we want to make clear our intention to uplift many diverse experiences as beautiful, knowing there are many ways to live out God’s call on your life.
