Summary

What are some of the mottos your family lives by? Visit any home goods store today and you can buy signs with all kinds of crazy mottos. Seeing these signs gave Troy and Ruth Chou Simons an idea. As the founder of GraceLaced, an art and lifestyle brand, Ruth decided to create signs adorned with biblical truths that her own family lived by.

In this episode, Ruth and Troy give us a sneak peak into their home to talk about the rhythms and spiritual disciplines of raising their six boys. One of the best parts of this conversation is the guilt-free manner at which they talk about how to live out biblical truths in all seasons of your family, whether you're in the sleepless years of infancy or the tumultuous years of adolescence.
