Matthew 12:25 —“...a house divided against itself will not stand.”

In this episode, Brian and Katie explore what division looks like in parenting—from “good cop / bad cop” roles to decisions made behind each other’s backs. Whether it’s driven by insecurity, resentment, or different parenting styles, disunity sends the wrong message to your kids.

You’ll learn why unity matters, how to handle disagreements without undermining each other, and why parenting needs to be a team effort.

"Kids will be kids," as they say — immature, loud, defiant, and sometimes downright disrespectful. But what if their behavior — especially the frustrating kind — is actually an attempt to communicate something deeper?

In this episode, Brian and Katie consider the normalcy and nature of childhood immaturity and challenge parents to take responsibility for their own emotional responses. Rather than reacting with frustration or demanding a level of maturity from our kids that we haven’t yet modeled ourselves, what if we saw these moments as invitations for our own continued growth?

Have you ever wondered why God created both the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? In this episode, we explore the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis, and take a biblical look at God’s design for relationship, freedom, and the human will—and how it all connects to the way we lead and love our kids.

You’ll learn:

• Why the existence of love requires the freedom to make a choice
• The deeper meaning behind the two trees in the Garden of Eden
• How God parents us through love, not force
• Why true obedience only grows in the soil of connection
