Welcome to Season 5 where it's all about doing one mission at a time to create a beautiful legacy for your stepfamily!

Mission #002 is all about preventing divorce/re-divorce.  It involves 3 key things:

1. AWARENESS - Action is required
2. INTENTION - Daily investments in your marriage
3. FOCUS - Key, small deposits that protect your marriage 

You can't do everything all the time, but you can do small things that create incredible momentum and prevent overwhelm.
Your Mission, should you choose to accept it, it to DECIDE TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE!
Action Steps for Mission #002

Begin the process of moving towards each other this way: How would you articulate your spouse's assessment of your marriage? What is their point of view? Invest 15 minutes today to write down how you think your spouse would describe your marriage.

1. Schedule time on the calendar this week to share your thoughts with one another.  
2. Begin your conversation with prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to attune your ears to receive, learn, and adapt.
3. Have a great conversation with each other, knowing this is sowing seeds that will bear fruit as you nurture your marriage, together!

Now that you've been together for a bit, a sneaky little thing called unmet expectations can begin to sabotage your starry-eyed love affair. That's why it is so important that you START WITH YOU! Because friends, YOU are where it's at in your stepfamily!

Oftentimes, we have high expectations and low communications when it comes to what we need in our relationships. Today's episode revisits a modified version of #39, where Bill & Jen share the importance of reducing unmet needs through the power of having a combined marriage mindset.

We reference the SYMBIS - Assessment throughout the episode.  We invite you to take the assessment with us (it requires trained facilitators) so you can begin to build your Stepfamily Legacy.  The SYMBIS is the first step.  Check our website for enrollment opportunities or book a free, 30-minute consult to get started!

You know when you hear that mysterious rattle as you're driving in your car?
Sure you do, it's the sound that mysteriously disappears the moment you attempt to explain it...well, reenact it, really, when you're chatting with the mechanic.

Your mechanic may raise his eyebrows at you as you hiss, screech, or make some other, "what the heck is wrong with my car" sound...but, he will listen. And...he'll pull your car into the shop to assess what's going on.

Bill and I propose the same strategy when it comes to your marriage.

When we discover the time is ripe for gathering specific tools to gain momentum and develop a marriage mindset, it's a good time for an assessment.  It's also a great time to find others who have gone before you to help encourage and guide you along the way.

We pray you enjoy this episode of Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!, and if so, rate and review!

What if we could get our bio kids and stepkids to do anything we wanted them to do? Would you like to know how?

SPOILER ALERT! All parents want their kids to do certain things at certain times, and in certain ways.  Truthfully, instead of getting our kids to do whatever we want, it's more important to teach our kids how to think.

And that's what today's episode is all about. Bill and I explore fallacies, biases and propaganda. What do these three things have to do with blending families together?

That's where our expert guest, Kathy Gibbens host of The Filter it Through a Brain Cell Podcast, comes in! 

Bad reasoning is everywhere! If it seems to you like the world has lost its mind, you're not alone. Logical fallacies, cognitive biases and propaganda are hidden in plain sight all around us.

And it you're wondering what on earth those words mean, don't feel bad...just a few years ago, Kathy didn't know what they meant either! Don't worry, she's got you. Learn more with a simple click here! But first, check out today's episode!

What would your life be like if you knew your stepfamily was going to win the race – with the odds stacked against you?  80 to 1 odds in fact?

What compels us to root for the underdog?

Let’s face it, in families, it can often feel like it is us against the world – Attacks on our belief systems to societal mocking of God’s design for marriage, we as Christians must be equipped to protect our families from the crosshairs of demonic influences, world directives, and false teachings.

No matter the negative messaging, or other's expectations, God’s immutable nature is exactly the support we need when we feel like the underdog. God calls us to run our race well. To keep our eyes on the finish line, fulfilling the purpose he has placed on our lives. 

Before you do, join us today to explore this question: What would your life be like if you knew your stepfamily was going to win the race – with the odds stacked against you?

Did you know? More phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year. These holiday chats with Mom often cause phone traffic to spike by as much as 37 percent.

Funny thing, I couldn’t find any stats on the spike for stepmomma phone calls…

No matter the stats, today’s episode addresses the awkwardness for stepmommas on a day set aside to honor mothers.

Sometimes special occasions roll around and you're caught off guard with planning?

Why does it sometimes feel as though holidays are a trap?  (So says Bill on today's episode.  Jen offers a slightly different take.)

Find out all the details of the "trappings" of Mother's Day celebrations.  You already know some of them - unmet needs, undeclared desires, and huge disappointments.
 
We'll share how best sneak the cheese out of the trap before it snaps! And we'll model how we did it as we made the decision on how to celebrate as we recorded this episode!
 
Mommas, no matter the labels society applies, know your presence matters.  You are a woman of influence!  We pray the most abundant of blessings to you on this special day.  Know that God sees your heart, your work, and your sacrifice as you steward your stepchildren.

Happy Mother's Day, Stepmommas!

Sometimes, it's really tough to have conversations about the money. That ends today, with this episode! It's time to get unstuck and move forward in your finances, together!

How would you rate your financial literacy? How about your blended finances -- what rating would you give to you as a couple?

Too often, stepfamily couples fight about the money.  But there is a better away.  In today's episode, Terry shares how healthy conversations start regarding finances so couples can begin to experience real change, together.

Terry Pena is a Financial Planner and Founder of One Tenth Consulting. She and her husband created a financial plan to move to one income so Terry could stay home with their children when they were younger. That was the spark that kindled Terry’s 🔥passion🔥 for teaching financial literacy to Christian couples.

Terry outlines three simple points: the healing, the communication, and the planning for sound financial management that glorifies God (and removes a whole bunch of stress for you, too).
