244 | Lessons in our first year as parents: sleep, judgement, anti-kids culture, family, and getting honest about our time with God
We’ve been parents for one whole year (well, more if you count pregnancy which we do)! We’re reflecting on the past year and talking about a bunch of things we’ve learned and what God has taught us - we get REAL and honest about where we’ve been at in this journey as newer Christian parents and talk about the blessing that is parenthood and getting to raise up our precious baby boy.
