    Let's take a transparent look at how we navigated helping our four older children navigate their fears of safety and change, the power of "hundreds of small conversations," and the sacred moments that anchored us all during labor. If you feel like you’re struggling to be the "anchor" while your own water is choppy, this episode is for you.

    Let's pull back the curtain on the "emotional landscape" of my home during my most recent pregnancy. For a family that has already walked through the deep valley of losing a father, adding a new baby isn't just about excitement, it’s about navigating the four-letter word no one likes to pair with pregnancy: Fear.

But what happens when these cultural norms clash with the teachings of scripture? In "Culture vs. Truth ," we dive into the tension between what society often accepts and what the Bible actually says. From the mantra "Do what makes you happy" to the belief that "follow your heart" leads to true fulfillment, we'll explore how these ideas compare to biblical truths like seeking God's kingdom and carrying our cross. Join us as we navigate the words and wisdom that shape our world and measure them against God's Word, offering clarity, encouragement, and perspective in a culture that often gets it wrong.
