Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast.

I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend deeply theological topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.

Hey, ladies, welcome back.

We are finally doing an episode that I've been promising you for a couple of weeks now.

It's our family, life, and ministry update. I've got Jason here for a couple of weeks now. It's our family life and ministry update.

I've got Jason here with me today. And we, I totally thought we have done this episode
