Blended & Blessed (Part 2) – Parenting as a Team | Abundant Life Family Podcast (Episode 35)
Join Bill and Jen Hildebrand as they continue their conversation with Scott and Lori Ridings about building a blended family. Scott and Lori share some important lessons they learned while blending their families. They were intentional with the language they used to talk about their family, which allowed them to build trust with their kids. Scott and Lori share how they worked to connect with their kids by making time and space for conversations when the kids were ready. They share stories about disciplining their kids and navigating tough conversations. They encouraged couples to be unified, loyal, consistent, and forgiving while navigating parenting as a team. Forgiveness must be a part of your marriage if you want to look like Christ, but that requires humility. The enemy wants to keep you and your spouse isolated in your struggles as a couple and family. But you can overcome him by reaching out and asking for help! __ The Abundant Life Family Podcast drops every other week to equip families with a biblical foundation and practical resources.

Abundant Life Family Podcast Episode 24 | Navigating Conflict
Whether you've been married 30 minutes or 30 years, conflict is inevitable. But it's how we deal with conflict that makes or breaks a marriage. On this episode of the Abundant Life Family Podcast, our hosts Bill and Jen Hildebrand sit down with Jonathan and Angela Buttram and talk about how to handle conflict in a healthy and biblical way.

Whether it's love, respect, significance, or something else...when we are fighting, we are battling for something.  The key, in marriage, or any relationship, is to use conflict as an opportunity to 1: glorify God, 2: grow personally, and 3: grow together.If you are struggling with conflict within your marriage or family, Abundant Life has resources for you.Go to livingproof.co/family for more information about Re|Engage, our marriage ministry or livingproof.co/regeneration, our recovery ministry.
