OM DENNE EPISODE
Parenting is hard enough without feeling like you're on opposing teams.
In this episode of Prayers for Parents, Macy and Andrew discuss why unity between husband and wife is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children. They share practical wisdom from their own parenting journey—including foster care, homeschooling, finances, discipline, and everyday disagreements—and explain why having a shared vision for your family matters more than always agreeing on every parenting tactic.
Whether you're navigating differences in discipline, struggling with outside influences, or simply wanting to build a stronger marriage, this conversation offers biblical encouragement and practical steps toward becoming a more unified parenting team.
