About this episode

There are simple ways to have big conversations. You can purposefully plant seeds of God’s Word into the hearts of your children. Realizing it’s not about a “sex talk," you can be equipped to disciple your children with frequent touch points, vulnerability and humility.

Let’s lean into the goodness of God and choose to walk in His peace, His joy and His celebration through shared language. That’s what Heaven in Your Home Family Music is all about.

In today’s episode we welcome Kathryn Brunner, my real life friend who is a beautiful singer/songwriter who collaborated to bring Heaven in Your Home Family Music to your home. We will unpack the vision, the purpose and the meaning behind these culture-shifting songs.

 

Listen in, be equipped and encouraged as you take hold of the JOY and CELEBRATION of God and the crown of His creation, YOU!
