I can’t shut up telling other people about this podcast. Practical, biblical, and fun. What else could you need. Question for Adam cause my curiosity is killing me… which packers player did you meet on the cliff? Signed a Wisconsin listener!

MamaMariaMorris · May 2026

This podcast energizes me + makes me even more excited for what God can do with a family and some intentionality. So grateful to get to listen in on these thoughtful conversations.

Nataliegolden · Sep 2025

2025 Update: A podcast that even the ads are enjoyable?! That’s right. This podcast is packed full of tips, resources, admonishments, encouragements - you will grow as a parent and your family will grow in Christ-likeness through the topics discussed on this podcast. Binged this podcast after I found it around Christmas (I was searching for different perspectives on how to do “Santa” in our home). Anxiously waiting for season 2 to drop! Such wisdom shared in each podcast episode.

JDAHJW · Aug 2025

I’m a long-time listener and frequent recommender of this podcast. I always walk away encouraged with helpful ideas to consider for the discipleship of my own family. I was recently so blessed by the Mother’s Day interview as I need reminders of the freedom we have in Christ and the blessing that children are as I prepare for the arrival of my third baby. Thank you Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie for your ministry!
