Summary
It’s not every day we get to hear from an NFL football player and his wife about raising 7 children - while trying to honor God, stay married AND do ministry together. Kirsten and Benjamin are the Directors of the NFL for Pro Athletes Outreach. In addition to this important work, they also spend time equipping and encouraging families through speaking and writing.
You will enjoy hearing these UGA Bulldogs (both former college athletes) chat a little about football, and we get to hear Kirsten affirm Benjamin ahead of this Father’s Day weekend.
My favorite part of the episode is when they discuss the non-negotiables in their family. It gives a framework for intentional parenting and how to get ahead of it all with a plan. It also encourages us to be on the same page with our spouses as we encounter the tough moments of parenting.
Enjoy!

| 0:19.5 | opposite of neat and tidy. Each day brings wins, |
| 0:22.8 | losses, and valuable lessons. I pray that every time you're here, we will grow and learn, |
| 0:27.7 | maybe even laugh and cry together in the midst of our beautiful mess. |
| 0:35.8 | Okay, party people, not only do we bring you hopefully some wisdom and hopefully some entertaining |
| 0:41.4 | conversations here at Part of the Miss, I'm also going to give you a little PSA. |

| 0:47.1 | So if you forgot, you got time. |

| 1:06.7 | fathering our kids and being super impactful on all of our lives. And so let's give him a little |
| 1:12.8 | shout out and give him a little love. Speaking of, Ron would want me to tell you, my husband, |
| 1:17.9 | that he's a musician now. Did you know that? He is a communicator by profession in the airline |
| 1:24.0 | industry, but if you asked him what he did, he would say, I'm a musician. |
| 1:27.9 | What about that? He taught himself the drums over the pandemic, and he's now in a band called |
