30+ Years, 7 Kids, One Big Lesson: Family Is Worth It

In this episode, Macy rapid-fires questions at Suz, drawing out three decades of parenting wisdom from raising seven kids to navigating the empty-nest season. Together, they unpack the heart of family as God’s idea—where parenting is discipleship, connection matters more than tasks, and playing the long game pays off.

From marriage teamwork and practical rhythms to the power of community, prayer, and the joy of adult children, this conversation offers encouragement and tools for every season of parenting. Whether you’re in the toddler trenches, managing teens, or stepping into grandparenthood, you’ll find faith-filled wisdom and relatable stories to inspire your family journey.

Family is God’s design—prioritize connection, invite Jesus daily, and play the long game.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build connection that creates capacity and peace in your home.

  • Use small resets (like a 5-minute tidy or micro-dates) to beat chaos.

  • Lead as a unified marriage team and signal love to your kids.

  • Lean into community and prayer as a protective covering.

  • Encourage adult kids and celebrate fruit in the next generation.

This episode is for new parents, large families, empty nesters, and anyone who wants practical rhythms and spiritual encouragement for raising a Christ-centered home.
