We're so glad that you've tuned in to pardon the mess.

We're parents just like you, doing our best to raise kids who will love and follow Christ.

We hope you will join us and our guests each week for honest conversations about the good,

bad, and ugly of raising kids.

There's no perfect parents, just a perfect God

who stands ready to pardon our mess and guide us on the most challenging yet rewarding journey,

parenting. Hey guys, Cynthia Yanoff with Pardon the Mess. I'm so glad that you are with us today

before we get started, and I have a lot to tell you before we get started, but before we kick it off,

I just want to remind you about a prayer journal. It It sold out, which is so awesome. So thank you

for everyone that ordered one. And so back by popular demand, we ordered more. So if you don't know

what I'm talking about, you need to jump on Christianparenting.org. Again, Christianparenting.org,

you can find our prayer journal that is set up to help you pray through the school year with your kids.

And I wrote it with this in mind that just with all the things we do for our kids, we get so busy that we don't pray like we need to.

And so it kind of came from a place in my own life.

And I just hope it'll speak to yours as well.

So jump on and get one of our prayer journals.

They don't start for a couple of weeks, so we still have time to mail into you.

And even if you miss the first week, you can still pray without it.

I believe in you.

If you will order that, that would be amazing.

Second thing I would like to say today is I have my friend Julie Hildebrand with me today.

Hello.
