Ten & Two - A Family Podcast

TEN & TWO I Ep. 25 - Choosing Children Later in Life

What happens when you get married later in life, decide you want children… and realize a decision from your past may have made that nearly impossible?

In Episode 25 of the Ten & Two Podcast, LeeAnn's sister Tina So'osemea and her husband Jaicob join us to share their incredible journey of choosing to pursue children later in life.

Years before their marriage, Jaicob had undergone a vasectomy. But as their life together began and their hearts changed toward having children, they faced a major decision: Would they accept that the door was closed, or would they pursue the possibility of opening it again?

Jaicob and Tina take us inside the decision to pursue a vasectomy reversal, the fears and uncertainty surrounding the medical process, and what it was like to move forward knowing the odds were stacked against them.

They also share candidly about the waiting—the moments when faith was tested, when there were no guarantees, and when trusting God meant surrendering an outcome they desperately wanted.

And then… the moment they discovered it had actually happened.

This conversation is about more than a vasectomy reversal or an against-the-odds pregnancy. It's about faith, surrender, the decisions we make about family, and learning to see children not simply as something to plan around or limit, but as a gift worth valuing and pursuing.

If you've ever wondered whether it's too late, wrestled with the decision to have children, or found yourself trusting God for something that seemed medically or naturally unlikely, this conversation is for you.

"Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him." — Psalm 127:3

TEN & TWO | Ep. 24 — One Generation Can Change Everything

This episode is close to home — literally. We're sitting down with Andrew Rampulla and Rick & Gloria Pajic, our parents, to talk about where our families started: two households with little to no relationship with God, and the moments that changed everything. There was no example to follow, no "this is how it was done before us." Just trial, error, prayer, and a decision to build something that didn't exist yet in either family line. We talk about what home looked like before Christ, the moment each of them gave their life to Him, what it cost relationally and personally to go first, and how that one decision reshaped the direction of our families for the generations that came after — including us, and now our own kids.

This is a conversation about where we actually come from, and why one generation saying yes to Jesus can change everything that follows.

Main scripture: Deuteronomy 6:6–7 / Joshua 24:15 — "But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

TEN & TWO | Ep. 22 — Raising a Prodigal Child

Guests: Pastors Frank & Kathleen Nevarez, C3 Cottonwood (Cottonwood, AZ) Every parent who has raised a child knows the ache of watching them make choices you can't control. For Pastors Frank and Kathleen Nevarez, that ache came with a unique weight — leading a church while watching their own son, Daniel, walk away from the faith they'd built their home on.

In this episode, Frank and Kathleen open up about the years Daniel spent wrestling with addiction, identity, and distance from God — and the harder, quieter years they spent choosing to keep loving him without losing themselves in the process. They share what it costs to shepherd a congregation while your own household feels like it's unraveling and what prayer actually looked like when hope felt thin. This isn't a tidy story. It's a real one — about a father and mother who refused to stop believing, and a son who found his way home (and now in ministry). Whether you're currently in the middle of your own waiting season or watching someone you love drift, this conversation is for you.

Main Scripture: Luke 15:11–24 — the father who watches, waits, and runs.

Watch Daniel's testimony

We didn't set out to homeschool. In this episode, we get honest about our hesitations, the turning point that changed our minds, and why we now believe taking an active role in our kids' education is one of the most important things we can do as parents.

We also share the story behind Saints Classical Academy — a new tutorial we launched in partnership with Holy Saints Church, hosted at our building in Spring Hill, to come alongside families who want to raise their kids in truth and wisdom, together in community.

In this episode:

• Why we were hesitant to homeschool at first
• The revelation that shifted how we think about training and equipping our kids
• How Southview Church and Holy Saints Church partnered to start Saints Classical Academy, hosted at our Spring Hill campus
• What it looks like to actively partner in your children's discipleship and education

If you've ever wrestled with the decision to homeschool — or wondered what it actually looks like to disciple your kids at home — this conversation is for you.

The War Over Family | Sunday Sermon

There is a real war being waged right now — and the front line is your family.

Family wasn't man's idea. It was God's first institution. Before there was a nation, a temple, or even a church, there was a family. And the enemy has known from the beginning that if he can fracture the family, he can fracture everything downstream of it — the church, the community, and the next generation's view of God Himself.

In this message, we trace the war back to its origin in Genesis 3:15, and we expose the four-pronged strategy the enemy is running against the seed of the woman in 2026:

1. NO SEED — Don't get married. 2. KILL THE SEED — Abortion. 3. LIMIT THE SEED — Fewer or no children.4. NEGLECT THE SEED — Broken families and fatherlessness.

This isn't a physical war. It's a spiritual one. And we don't fight it with the weapons of the flesh — we fight it with the weapons of heaven (2 Corinthians 10:3–6).

By the end of this message, you'll walk away with a clear three-step path to winning the war in your own home: 🔹 Identify the root 🔹 Change your heart, change your perspective 🔹 Model the hope

This isn't a culture-war message. It's a heart-change message. Wherever you are — single, married, parenting, grandparenting, or somewhere in the middle — God has a position for you in this fight. And the church needs every generation to step into it.

📖 KEY SCRIPTURES

• Genesis 3:15
• Revelation 12:17
• 2 Corinthians 10:3–6

🎙 ABOUT TEN AND TWO TEN and Two is a family-rooted ministry calling this generation back to the beauty of the Gospel, the strength of the family, and the hope of revival. We believe Godly families are not optional — they are the front line.

📍 Recorded LIVE at Southview Church – May 18, 2025

Modern culture is not neutral—it's at war with God's design for marriage, family, gender, and spiritual order.

In this unfiltered, live episode of TEN & TWO, recorded during a powerful Sunday gathering at Southview Church, we expose the 4 major cultural attacks on the family that are shaping (and shaking) Christian homes today. From the redefinition of identity and marriage to the idol of careerism, the epidemic of pornography, and the crisis of spiritual fatherhood—we draw a clear line between counterfeit cultural values and God's unchanging truth.

🔥 What we cover in this episode:

1️⃣ God's Definitions – Why marriage, gender, and roles aren't up for redefinition.

2️⃣ The Higher Purpose – How careerism and self-fulfillment are crushing generational legacy.

3️⃣ Holy Relationships – Why purity still matters in a world addicted to lust.

4️⃣ The Authority of the Parent – Reclaiming spiritual leadership in a fatherless generation.

👊🏽 It's time for believers to stop negotiating with Babylon and take a stand. These aren't just social issues—they're spiritual battlegrounds. We don't fix families by agreeing with culture—we do it by returning to trust and obedience with God.

📖 Scripture Highlights:

Genesis 2:24 | Romans 1:26–27 | Philippians 2:3–4 | 1 Corinthians 6:18–20 | Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (Episode includes in-depth Scripture teaching on each cultural lie.)
