| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Family Discipleship podcast, a podcast of Training the Church. |
| 0:12.3 | This is Adam Griffin, and I'm here with my co-hosts, Mrs. Cassie Bryant, and my wife, Mrs. Chelsea Griffin. |
| 0:19.4 | Cassie, when I say, Eric, your husband, is a very supportive husband. |
| 0:24.9 | What comes to mind for you? What do you think about when I say that? |
| 0:27.5 | I think about how during the pandemic, he would give me what he called Mental Health Mondays. |
| 0:35.1 | Is that Cassie Time? What is that? |
| 0:37.2 | Well, it was so much more than Cassie |
| 0:39.2 | time. So his parents had a house on the river in Granbury during that season, which was so |
| 0:44.2 | providential. And he would take the girls on Sunday afternoons. And he would stay the night out there |
| 0:49.6 | and come back Monday night. So he would give me like 30 hours of a kid free house just because I needed |

| 1:38.7 | He's just so attentive. We talked about this in the listening episode. He's just kind of very |
| 1:42.3 | aware. And so he, when he thought |
| 1:44.9 | about like what could serve me well, he was like, hey, I think sometimes every mom loves a day alone |
| 1:50.1 | in the house, right? No? I love it. Being home alone. When I have a day alone, I do love it, |
| 1:56.4 | but I get out of the house. But a lot of times it's because, like, I don't really prioritize cleaning our |
| 2:01.6 | house. Well, no, it just means it's not the most peaceful place to hang out. Gotcha. So I'd rather go |
