Family conflict is normal, but harshness only “wins” in the moment and wounds in the long run. Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie show how Christlike gentleness—firm, kind, and restorative—can cool tempers, set wise boundaries, and actually heal relationships. From triage metaphors to Jesus restoring Peter, this is a simple path to fighting less and loving more.

From silly phobias to real panic, fear shows up in parenting all the time. Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie talk about crowds, kids going missing for a minute, and the dread of what could happen when we’re not there. Then they walk us into Scripture—Isaiah’s “fear not,” Jesus lifting Peter out of the waves, the father begging, “help my unbelief,” and a God who literally carries His people. This one’s practical, honest, and full of grace for moms and dads who need to breathe and remember: our kids—and our hearts—are in stronger hands.

Life as a parent (and just as a human) can hand you plenty of reasons to grow bitter — disappointments, unanswered prayers, hurt from others. In this conversation, Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie talk honestly about how bitterness creeps in and why it’s so dangerous for our hearts, families, and churches. They share personal stories, unpack what the Bible says about forgiving like Jesus, and offer practical ways to choose joy over resentment. If you’ve been carrying around some spiritual “junk mail” marked bitterness, this episode is an invitation to throw it out for good.

If you’ve ever felt too busy, too tired, or just plain unmotivated to disciple your kids — this one’s for you. Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie swap summer stories and get honest about the difference between being truly exhausted and just lacking enthusiasm. They open 1 Thessalonians 5:14 to talk about when parents need encouragement, when we need help, and when we need a loving push to “keep up the good fight.” You’ll leave reminded that grit, patience, and perseverance aren’t just personality traits — they’re gifts from the Spirit to help you keep going when parenting gets hard.
