Summary
It’s May and, let’s be honest, who couldn’t use a good laugh to accompany the millions of events crammed in these final days as we wrap up another school year? Today’s episode of Pardon the Mess gives you just that – a good laugh, but with so much more.
Melissa Radke and her husband, David, talk to us about the crazy way the Lord has taken their own plans and dreams and turned them upside down, landing a story so unplanned that only God could author it.
Melissa is “that” friend we all love to laugh with about the wacky stuff in parenting and the absurdity we all buy into along the way. She’s the mom behind the viral videos “Signs” and “Red Ribbon Week,” with over 140 million views. And now the Radke family is looking forward to the release of their reality TV show, premiering May 4th on the USA network.
Beyond just being downright hilarious, Melissa candidly shares about the struggles in their marriage, the values they esteem as they parent their two kids, and leaves us with a good reminder that God has a plan bigger and better than anything we can dream up.
Get ready for some big energy with lots of laughs!
