What if the greatest gift you can give your family isn't found in perfect schedules or flawless execution, but in the intentional ordering of your priorities? Jim and Meghan sit down with Lindsay Schlegel to explore what it truly means to cultivate a Catholic home. As a mother of five ranging from kindergarten to high school, Lindsay shares how she and her husband have built a family culture rooted in faith, liturgical living, and the recognition that God comes first, followed by spouse, then children. With honesty and wisdom, she reflects on navigating overscheduled lives, growing in virtue together, and showing her children that the adult life of faith is joyful, not burdensome.
