Summary

In many ways, the western culture we live in wars against family growth. This episode is a conversation about how we're seeing the western cultural norms influence our own family and some of the steps we're taking to fight against it. In this episode, we share about how we are structuring our days that's most conducive to Kingdom expansion, is extremely simple (yet rich), and isn't beholden to anyone (except God and our family). We talk about:

Decisions we're making today that will impact our family ten years from now
A new kind of agency when stewarding our time and energy levels
Why we are simplifying now more than ever before
Who we are spending time with and the difference it's making
The freedom we're experiencing after letting go of emotion management in social settings
