Both extremely practical and inspiring/full of big ideas
When I first began parenting about ten years ago, I remember reading some book about how to “raise saints”— a catholic guide to (almost) perfect children. I internalized too much of that book— thinking it was MY job to turn my kids into saints. In reality, God uses your kids to slowly (and sometimes painfully) to convert YOU closer and closer to Him (if you cooperate!). This is one of the many profound insights messy family has helped me see. And it’s so liberating. And I’ve found so much more joy in parenting lately, even though our “burden” of the # of kids we have should (according to the world) be pushing us away from liberation/joy. Tuning into this podcast affirms and strengthens all this. Not to mention the million little nuggets of super practical bits of wisdom scattered throughout all the episodes. If you have littles at home, I recommend starting at the very first episodes back from 2015/2016/2017– those first few years are my favorite episodes overall.

This is hands down my favorite podcast! I was listening before I got married and had a baby. The Hernan’s are authentic and beautiful people full of wisdom.
