Marriage and parenting are holy work, and they are hard work. Mark and I started the Life in the Mundane podcast to talk honestly about the difficult topics in marriage and parenting from a biblical perspective, so you can make the most of the little moments in the relationships that matter most.
We come to these conversations as second-generation homeschool parents who married young, had six kids in nine years, and have been through plenty of ups and downs along the way. Our hope is that you leave encouraged: what God has called you to, He will equip you for.
