Summary
In this episode, we affectionately adopt new "podcast parents," Rodney + Selma Wilson. They join us to explain the secret behind how they can still look at one another like teenagers in love, after 40+ years.
Now grandparents, they talk about how they see parenting differently today than when they were raising their daughters. The wisdom and encouragement Rodney and Selma share in this episode comes purely from their experience of loving people so well.
At LifeWay, Selma Wilson serves as VP of Organizational Development and Chief People Officer. Cool title, right? She's also a cheerleader for moms! Her husband, Rodney, is an Associate Pastor and Marriage and Family Counselor. He doesn't consider himself a cheerleader (bye, bye pompoms), but he is an encourager.
You are in for a dose of wisdom. Some highlights include:
* How to prioritize your marriage for your kids
* The images we can etch into our kids' minds for a spiritual legacy
* How to look at life in seasons
* The one perspective that helps moms move from surviving the trenches to enjoying motherhood
All in all, the primary theme is about guarding our time and our hearts.
