Welcome to the Intentional Parents Podcast. Intentional exists to help parents in their

God-given task to raise passionate Jesus followers. We exist to bring hope, help, and healing

to families. Each week we will talk about anything from parenting, marriage, lifestyle,

and what it looks like to follow Jesus in our time. Intentional is made up of

Phil and Diane Comer and Brooke and Elizabeth Moser. I am Brooke and the funny thing is we are all

family. Elizabeth is Phil and Diane's daughter so we're a family figuring this thing out together.

We hope this podcast feels like you're sitting with us in our home talking about how to do this

thing called lives together. Elizabeth and I are your host. Let's get into this week's podcast.

and dad are out of town. We'll see how this goes. If you hear little footsteps coming in,

then it's not working so well, but parents are really littles. They do get older at some

moment and they play for like long stretches. It's amazing. And get along. It's amazing.

For the most part, there's still lots of moments. But we're going to talk today and this will

be funny because I just told the girls, if you guys get in an argument, you need to work it out

yourselves because I'm not available. But mom and I have just been talking about this whole idea

of mean girls. And I think we can all know exactly what that means when you hear that. I mean,

there's a whole movie on it that is absolutely hilarious, but so incredibly true.

That especially young girls in the beginning of adolescence, all the way through adolescence,

sometimes well beyond adolescence. We are always going to be exposed to girls that are just hard

and who seem to want to make your daughter's life harder. And sometimes it's subtle.
