INSIGHTS
1. Tell us a little bit about your family dynamic—how long you’ve been married, how old the kids are, and what everyone is into (hobbies, extra-curricular, etc)
If your house is anything like mine (obvs minus 2 kids), it’s always noisy and stinky and a bit chaotic. I’d love to hear about how you embrace that… and keep the order and peace.
Do you discipline each child differently? Because of ages, personalities, gender, emotional needs, etc. Or is it all the exact same?
What about the demands of 7 schedules? I know you’re both in school, have careers, a family business, and are super involved in church.. and the kids also participate in everything. How do you manage all of it?
I chose the word “stewardship” to be in the title of this episode because that’s what I see you both do with your kids. Can you talk about your intentionality in stewarding what God placed under your care?
Whether we have one child or several kids, can you give us 3 pieces of advice to steward them well?
