Summary
As we’re approaching our 300th episode of Pardon the Mess, I am thrilled to welcome back our very first guest all those years ago: Janet Denison!
Janet is an author, speaker, mother, grandmother, and friend who has given me a whole lot of parenting advice over the years. She’s joining us today to talk about finding “a great calm” in our lives even when everything around us feels completely chaotic.
Here’s a few of my favorite topics we cover in today’s show:
- What Christian families are struggling with in today’s culture
- How to build up the spiritual muscle of trust, especially in the hard times
- Learning to wait on God with confidence and humility
- Walking her own child through cancer and the middle of the night prayers
If you’re looking for some seasoned, biblical wisdom for raising kids no matter what you’re facing—you’ve landed in the exact right place today!

| 0:02.0 | This is Cynthia Yannoff and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.0 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk |
| 0:26.1 | the parenting road alone. Hey guys, welcome to Pardon the Bus. Glad you are with us. And let me |
| 0:34.3 | just say, I'm really overwhelmed with how many of you have jumped on |
| 0:38.3 | and started joining us every week on this show. 2020 has been great growth for part in the mess already, |
| 0:45.3 | and so thank you. And a part of that has been so many of you have taken a moment to leave a review. |
| 0:50.5 | And I'm not kidding, that is such a big deal. Wherever you listen to your podcast, when you go in |
| 0:54.1 | and you leave a review, it helps other people find us. I'm going to read |
| 0:57.4 | your review that someone left. It said, a soft place to land for parents. I love this podcast so |
| 1:02.9 | much. Cynthia's humor, realness, and grace gives listeners a soft place to land, a permission |
| 1:07.0 | to be honest and feel seen. I'm grateful for the way you equip parents. This podcast always feels like a much needed rest and coffee with a friend. And so I'm just going to say that's |
| 1:16.1 | of the highest compliments to say it's a soft place to land because I think we're all looking |
| 1:20.4 | for that in parenting. We're looking for a soft place to land when things aren't going like we'd |
| 1:24.8 | hoped or planned. And so my hope is to always bring you |
| 1:28.3 | authenticity and vulnerability. And in that vein, let me just tell you something about what's |
| 1:33.7 | going on over here. Post holidays, my people are surly, surly. Please tell me your kids have been that |
| 1:40.4 | way too. I don't know what it is. If it's like all the gift giving, all the whatever, |
| 1:44.8 | it's about them kind of things. And then traveling a little bit, all of it when we got back. |
| 1:49.3 | So I'm glad everyone's back in school. Clearly they need the structure and discipline that I am |
| 1:54.1 | not capable of giving them. Who knew? And it reminded me of a blog. I wrote a long time ago |
| 1:59.9 | about my daughter and how she apologized. |
