Speakers: Elaine Scott and Steen Jones
In this first episode of the Unexpected series, Elaine sits down with her longtime friend and teammate, Steen Jones, for an honest and deeply personal conversation about life when it does not go according to plan.
In this episode, Steen shares what a hard parenting season really looked like behind the scenes. The impact on her marriage, the constant weight of caregiving, learning when to push and when to release control, and the quiet decisions that helped them stay connected instead of growing resentful. She shares how counseling, assuming the best in one another, and extending grace became lifelines, not just for surviving the hard years, but for building the joyful, connected family they experience today.
This conversation is for anyone walking through an unexpected season. For parents, couples, caregivers, and anyone wondering if the hard part will ever end. It is a reminder that even in the fog, God is present, working quietly, and often preparing something far better than we can see in the moment.
