Summary
Contemporary Christian musicians Chris Rademaker and Jodi King followed God’s call to pursue a musical adventure as the husband-wife duo Love & The Outcome. They share their experiences of selling their home, walking through grief, newlywed life on the road as musicians and their transition into parenting.
Jodi especially talks through how she leans on the Holy Spirit in her parenting, managing expectations and other people’s reactions.
I’ve had to learn how to just know the Holy Spirit. So in the moments when we’re in public and I’m parenting, I focus on Him. It’s so easy to turn and see everyone else’s reaction to what I just did was or I can just try and do my best to really listen to the Holy Spirit in the moment so that I can feel confident in my decisions.
I love how Chris and Jodi open up about playing shows and bringing their two young sons Milo and Ziggy along for the ride. There’s so much encouragement for moms of littles in this episode, including letting our standards slip a little so we can still experience community even if it’s messy and involves take-out food instead of handcrafted meals.
Maybe it’s just a season. But maybe it’s forever. I don’t really know what the Lord has. But letting go of some of my ideals has been so good. I have to acknowledge that I have a 2.5-year-old and a 1-year-old. Life looks like this right now, and it is the dream if I choose to be present to it and enjoy it.
What we chat about:- When Jodi and Chris met and started a touring band
- Their Enneagram types and how they work together as a couple
- How the Lord directed their path through grief and loss
- Parenting and challenges that come when touring with kids
- Dwelling in the Holy Spirit to make decisions
- Transitions in parenting and learning to lean into the Holy Spirit vs worrying what others think
- The concessions you make to connect with community when you are in a busy season
- Freeing yourself up from pre-conceived plans of what life “should” look like
- A new way to look at living the dream and choosing to be present in what your life is like now
- The God I Know music video
- The King of My Heart music video
- He is With Us music video
- L&TO albums: These Are the Days** & Love & The Outcome**

| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all, welcome back to the God Center Mom Podcast. I'm your host, Heather McFadian, |
| 0:08.9 | and this is the place where we remind you through mentorship, friendship, and discipleship |
| 0:13.1 | that you don't mom alone. In this episode, number 215, I'm welcoming Christian music |
| 0:18.6 | artists and new parents, Jody and Chris from Love and the Outcome. |
| 0:22.5 | But I think I pictured the father and the spirit's voice as a lot more aggressive than |
| 0:28.4 | it is. Kind of shaking, you know, their finger at me saying, go harder, work harder, be |
| 0:33.7 | more. And that's just really, the Holy Spirit really broke that for me and said, you know, |
| 0:38.7 | I whisper. I whisper so you have to lean in close so you know me intimately. That's |
| 0:44.3 | what whispers are about. You don't whisper to a stranger. Once I really got that new picture |
| 0:48.9 | of Holy Spirit, it just changed everything and I'm getting better at giving myself grace |
| 0:55.3 | that he already gives me. Yeah, always learning. If you like Jody, or feel like you're always |
| 1:01.4 | learning, maybe you're the type of mom who's hard on herself, maybe you're struggling |
| 1:07.3 | to lower that expectation. I think you're going to find some camaraderie and some kinship |
| 1:13.2 | with Jody and Chris' testimony. Sure, they're Christian music recording artists and they |
| 1:18.4 | tour for a living, but there's this common bond that you'll find in parenting young kiddos |
| 1:24.6 | and trying this thing out for the first time. And I appreciate their vulnerability and |
| 1:28.6 | sharing it with you. And if you're one of the few people who's not familiar with love |
| 1:32.8 | and the outcome, Google them. They have great songs. King of my heart. He is with us, the |
| 1:37.0 | God I know. And if I can introduce you to them, that's an honor for me. Okay, given the |
| 1:43.4 | topic of music with this week's guest, I think it's only fitting that I share this month's |
| 1:49.2 | sponsor Song Finch with you. If you are looking for a really cool gift for this holiday season, |
| 1:54.6 | okay, you have to check them out. They will create a one of a kind radio quality song |
