When you’ve got young kids, you can be distracted on Sunday’s at church. With children pulling at your clothes, needing help on the toilet, in desperate need of their water bottle, and keen to go home, it can be hard to hold a conversation.

But what happens if you're in full-time ministry, and the congregation is relying on you to preach, or walk with them through a crisis?

In this episode we unpack one mother's experience of having four children, planting a church in another country, and the windy road that led her back to God after her own mother passed away.

Giving your children the gift of siblings is a great joy. Those heart explosions when your kids are playing well together are worth all the fights you need to referee throughout the day.

But how do you foster strong sibling bonds? How do you intentionally parent kids that are at different developmental stages? Is it possible to avoid jealous or competitive rivalries?

In this episode, two mums share their experience of having multiple children – the joys, the challenges, the guilt, and their insights into how to foster a strong friendship between their kids.
