Christian Parenting.

Hey guys, welcome to pardon the mess.

I'm glad that you're with us.

I hope that you had an awesome Thanksgiving. And here we are the Monday after. And if you're in the nonprofit world,

like I am, that means tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. And Giving Tuesday is just always the first

Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It's an opportunity to show your support of the causes that you

believe in by financially supporting

them. And that's what I would love to ask you to do as we kick this off today, is just prayerfully

consider giving to Christian parenting. We feel called to help parents raise their kids to know

and value Christ. And so we have all kinds of resources, as you know, to do that and to resource

parents and raising their

families. This podcast is one of them. And so if you enjoy our podcast and the resources of Christian

parenting has, it would be really a sweet gift to me if you consider going to cpgiv.org.

Again, cpgiv.org and making a donation on giving tuesday towards what we do thanks so much and now

let's get back to talking about thanksgiving for a minute i'm going to give you a little blast in the

past on my thanksgiving here's one of my favorite stories maybe a bad taste just let me tell you

this up front nonetheless i'm still going to say it. But I

have two older brothers. I think I've mentioned this before many times. They're five years older.

They're twins. And they have been relentlessly picking on me and teasing me since I was a kid.

And my parents used to tell them, like, you're going to have to pay for her counseling bills

someday because they were awful.

And so we have a fine relationship now, but they're always still like totally ribbing me,
