Ever found yourself in the middle of a home renovation, only to realize that the real challenge is managing family dynamics? Our latest episode captures the whirlwind of turning a house into a home, complete with kitchen mishaps and the invaluable support of a general contractor. As we settle into our new space, I recount a jam-packed weekend that included everything from a Samford alumni get-together to a lively Boo at the Zoo night with the kids. Join me as I explore the delicate balance of tackling home projects while keeping family life joyful and fulfilling amidst the chaos.

We dive into the heart of relationships, starting with a thermostat disagreement that escalated into a deeper conversation about unity. Inspired by an insightful sermon, I reflect on how defensiveness and oversensitivity can often be the culprits behind conflict. Through all the moving, renovating, and juggling of family dynamics, I share how resilience and faith have been my anchors, guiding me back to the enduring power of love and unity, even on the most challenging days. These experiences have taught me to find comfort in an eternal perspective, reminding me of what's truly important.

To wrap things up, I turn to the timeless wisdom of Psalm 23, which has become a grounding presence in my life, especially noticeable during the stress of renovations. I open up about the challenges in my marriage, amplified by the ongoing home projects, and emphasize the importance of seeking joy and peace from faith rather than material possessions.
