Stepmom Sanity

Financial issues have the ability to dash your dreams for couple unity and family bonding. Listen in as Cheryl provides beyond the basic money moves every blended family should make.

RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:

Join Cheryl in this Special Edition Father's Day conversation with her husband, Jonathan. 

Have you ever wondered if you were noticed, or appreciated? Well, you are. We see you and we are cheering for you. And every year we choose a Stepmom of the Year to remind her, and you, that what we do matters. Join Cheryl as she chats with our Stepmom Sanity Stepmom of the Year, Jennifer Kolf. Be encouraged as Jennifer shares her triumphs, challenges, and common sense approach to stepmomming in grace. 

Most couples, no matter how in love they may be, struggle with spiritual intimacy. I know Jonathan and I do. But what if, rather than drive us apart, these struggles are opportunities to press towards deeper intimacy, not just with each other but the Lord ? What if, there was a resource that helped us have conversations designed to humble us, invite God into our marriage, and pull us towards one another? Emily Jordan, founder of The Joyful Stepmom has created just such a resource. Join us for a conversation about her new devotional: The Blended Family Devotional for Couples: 52 Weeks of Growing Together, Leading Your Family, and Learning from God

What if someone gave you a roadmap for entering blended family marriage well? What if you, as a pastor, step-couple coach, or counselor, knew exactly what to do to help the engaged couples you serve lay a foundation for success?  Bestselling author of The Smart Stepfamily series, and director of Family Life Blended, Ron Deal, has written just such a resource. Listen in as Cheryl and Ron discuss his new book, Preparing to Blend: The Couple's Guide to Becoming a Smart Stepfamily. It is sure to become the premiere premarital guide for blended-family couples.

Whether we call it step, co, nacho, or parallel, we all parent and the children we parent manage some type of loss. None, however, is more keenly felt that loss due to the death of parent. I have experienced this in my own blended family. And so has our guest, Gayla Grace. Join us in a conversation about parenting the grieving bonus child. 

Gayla's book, Stepparenting with Grace: A Devotional for Blended Families,  provides companionship, encouragement, understanding, and biblical insights from a veteran stepmom. This trusted resource will help you gain strength, wisdom, and comfort as you navigate the often rocky terrain of blending a family. You can purchase her book here.

Be blessed by her ministry and resources at Family Life Blended or on her website, Stepparenting With Grace.
