We don’t know parents that have not felt overwhelmed at some point, and many just accept being overwhelmed as part of parent hood. Throw in the challenges of making a marriage work, running a business or building a career, and finding time for friends and family and you can very quickly run short of day long before you run short of things to do.We hit the wall recently and talking with friends, we realized how common that is. While the weak human response is to start pointing fingers and saying no, we chose to pray simply because God tells us to and his plans are always better than ours.We got quiet and the Holy Spirit spoke to us, we listened, and put the plan into action. The details of that plan take time to explain so we share it all in this episode. We pray it helps someone out there who is struggling like we were.We thank God for FaithHomeLove.com as it supports this podcast.

A few days ago, I walked across the stage at our church in a graduation gown and hat to the cheers and applause of my family and friends. I shook the hands of five men who have had a hand, over the past four years, in ensuring that moment would come to pass. Two weeks shy of my sixty-seventh birthday, and ONLY by the grace of God, I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Ministry.I accomplished a degree, late in life, which was contrary to everything I had ever been told by teachers, family, “friends”, and others touting conventional wisdom, since high school. But everything changed five years ago when we moved to Florida, found Oceans Unite Christian Center, Pastor Alex Pappas, his wife, and staff, and began my journey toward all that is possible when we surrender it all to Jesus Christ and choose to walk with God.That lifetime of lies I had been told by people that mattered to me created a spriritual stronghold because I chose to believe them. In this episode Ana and I talk about how that stronghold, and many more, were broken.Visit GodandCountryMercantile.com for fathers day gift ideasVisit FaithHomeLove.com 

The secret is there is no secret. And the best way to win an argument is not start one or allow yourself to be drawn into one but that is a whole lot easier said than done. In this episode we talk about what we have learned through experience and scripture that help us to avoid creating tension in the first place and then resolving conflicts before they become full blown arguments.

Raising kids is the most honorable thing a person can do, and for many including us, it's one of the most challenging. We started as foster parents and the training provided was and still is, invaluable. We learned so much from those courses and even more bumping through life with our four precious gifts from God. We have discovered five things that have changed everything for us because they changed everything for our children. In this episode we pass on those five rules we live by in hopes that it helps someone else.

No matter how much you love your spouse, marriage is challenging. If you don’t pay attention when small problems pop up, they often turn into big problems. For the past eighteen years, and especially the past five, we have employed a far more effective approach to maintaining our marriage, and it’s working amazingly well.The Bible teaches us how a marriage should operate, what love really is, and when we agreed to commit to living these principles, our marriage and family became stronger and just keeps getting better.We share some of the things that have worked for us in the hopes it may help others. The Bible verses we referred to in this podcast are as follows: Ephesians 5:22-29Ephesians 5:311 Corinthians 13:4-13Visit our store and website at www.FaithHomeLove.com

The hardest part was changing the mental approach and we talk about that process in this episode.This show brought to you by https://faithhomelove.com which will be going live soon this month.

We feel God has called us to start this podcast about being Christians, married, parents, athletes, entrepreneurs, and servants of God while living in a crazy, and at times, a very dark world. We homeschool our kids, make our own sourdough and soap, we are patriotic Americans, and by the grace of God we are in love, alive, and we have a desire to share that with like-minded friends.
