• Navigating social media criticism while remembering our true identity as children of God
• Finding fresh perspective in familiar scripture, recognizing that God gives generously without conditions

We tackle the parenting hack that no book wants to admit: sometimes bribery is the key to success. From a four-year-old nephew who needed $2 and the promise of a present to try tubing (and ended up loving it!) to creative strategies involving suction cup toys during diaper changes.

Ohio's own Seph Schlueter joins in to discuss his new album "Counting My Blessings." Seth shares the powerful story behind his song "Turn It To Praise," which transformed from a heavy-hearted prayer about a struggling friend into an anthem of victory.
