Twelve years ago, Joanna and Rob began their journey of foster parenting and opened their home to little ones in need of care. Through the blessings and struggles, questions and fears, joys and griefs, their lives were changed forever.

For the Teigens, foster parenting was a walk through the unexpected. They had to ask questions they’d never faced and lean on God like never before. Today’s guest, Jamie Finn, is here with answers to the wonderings and struggles foster families encounter every day.

Your child was created by God and placed in your family—and in this world—for a unique purpose like no one else. Yet as parents, it can be difficult to understand our kids’ behavior and point of view.

Do you feel mismatched in your marriage today? Maybe your spouse wants to pack your weekend full of outings and family gatherings while you’re dreaming of quiet time on the couch with a good book. You secretly feel jealous of the way your spouse comes alive at a party while you feel overwhelmed and out of place. Perhaps holidays and special occasions stir up conflict because your ideas of “fun” are completely opposite. An introvert-extrovert marriage can struggle from misunderstanding, frustration, and feeling unheard and unloved. Today’s guests, Holley Gerth and Jason Rovenstine, are here to help us understand our spouse and thrive in our differences.
