The new year is here and we are shifting our focus this year to a single Book... Well technically it's one Book that is comprised of many writings. The Bible.

So this year we decided to take the entire year and spend it reading through Scripture and really diving into the rich literature and writings form long ago.
We have been asked several times to break down our experience as parents with dreams specifically around children. This is so important to us and we are very transparent in the podcast on our experiences with dreams.
