On this week’s podcast episode, hosts Scott and Vanessa Martindale are joined by a special guest, Cheryl Shumake, a stepmom with a powerful ministry dedicated to supporting and inspiring stepmoms. Cheryl shares her insights on navigating the challenges of blended families and discusses her latest book, "Waiting to Be Wanted: A Stepmom's Guide to Loving Before Being Loved."

The conversation delves into the importance of empathy, the 100% chance of success in blended families when done God's way, and the role of faith in the journey of step-parenting. Cheryl encourages listeners to shift their focus from the pain of waiting to how God wants them to show up in their roles.
