This episode delves into the challenges and benefits of effective delegation, particularly for those who struggle with letting go of control and the fear of entrusting tasks to others. Somer and Michelle share their personal experiences and discuss what changed their perspectives on "sharing the load." They also have a big announcement for our podcast community and an invitation to the Summer Challenge—something they never had on their radar for SWHW... but God. This is an episode that will leave you encouraged and excited.

Melissa Kruger has journeyed with me [Michelle] through motherhood, and right on time -- just two weeks after my oldest became a teenager -- she released a new book on raising teens for Christ. In this episode, we dive deep into God's heart for parenting our teens, including:
the risks of defaulting to parent out of motivations other than hope
laying the foundation for the teen years in childhood years
biggest challenges + opportunities in raising teens today
the reminder that it's never too late to parent (or grandparent!) out of hope

This episode, inspired by one of our Patreon Besties, delves into the often times confusing emotions we encounter when we want to know if it's time to walk away from something. In part 2 of How To Know If It's Time To Quit, Somer and Michelle talk through the signs and symptoms that they've often felt when it was the Lord leading them to quit, rather than their own wants or desires. This episode puts the 'explanation point' on the entire conversation and we hope leaves you with clear indicators that help you to identify or at least intentionally listen for the voice of God.

Somer and Michelle give you part 1 this week which talks through the signs and symptoms that they've often felt when it was their flesh that was pushing them towards quitting.
