What part of this episode inspired you today?

I don't get.... If the 2 become 1..... On your first marriage how can you divorce even Jessie told the pharsies that there's no divorce

This hit so hard...

Great video. Very clear and direct.

What was YOUR favorite part of the conference?

I always tell my husband not to do things when he is with the children and his ex. So when we went to see the game we sat separately but when he went without me his daughter asked him to sit next to her and the mom. Although, she sat in the middle of them. I felt that was not okay but he doesn’t see it as something wrong. What’s your opinion?

I loved this topic. My fiance’ did a very similar online bootcamp on this topic. I learned so much bc I struggled being in a masculine state as a female bc I was a single mom raising a boy and 20 yrs of leadership in a combat arms military branch. It was tough and at the end of the day I DID NOT want to be in that state. I wanted to be how God designed me! Thanks for sharing 🤗

Very insigtful, lots of wisdom imparted here, thank you

Man... this episode hits SO close to home. I feel heard and seen more than I ever have. I just googled Christian Step Parenting podcast and this came up first. Thank you so much for this episode. We have limited her form of communication with us by blocking her and her new husband on all platforms. Our kids have their own phones and we have a work phone she can use if required. I can't wait to listen to more episodes.

Trenton’s story and mine are so similar. I thought I was crazy to be healing quickly. So awesome to hear a similar story. God bless y’all and this minstry!

Awesome interview. Very inspirational.

I will say. I’m a bio parent and a step parent. I was a stepparent first. I do love my ss I do! But after having my daughter, there is a different bond. So I think it’s okay to admit, maybe we don’t have the same connection or bond to our stepkids as we do our bio kids. However, never let your stepkid feel that. And yes of course pray too, that you would have a deeper love/connection to your stepkid

Would love to hear a convo on resentment the other way around. What about when looking to blend or already blended and your new spouse starts to feel feelings of resentment towards the child/children. Stemming from feelings of jealousy of the time your child gets with you when you are all together and the attention you give them.

I'm becoming part of a blended family. I get along with the kids great and made every effort to make it easier on both of their parents by extending the olive branch to their mother. We go to the same church and live in a very small town only a couple blocks apart. She's made several attempts to sabotage our relationship from relentless complaints about how we spend our time together, to showing him pictures of herself in tiny bikinis asking for his opinion, to most recently inviting herself along with us (kids included) to Wisconsin and even asking to stay in our room. She's constantly texting and calling him, asking favors of him, doing her best to make him and I jealous, strutting around in sleasy outfits (even at church), being overly friendly with him and passive-aggressive with me... she constantly bashes him publicly on social media, calling him a narcissistic abuser despite the post always having attached a selfie, usually in a bikini or super tight workout clothes. She does this every single day, several times a day and I only know this because she sent me a friend request i shouldn't have accepted. She's a bodybuilder and good for her. She works hard at it and wields a great body for her age, but it's non-stop all about how she's "the hot ex", how good she looks for 40, how people are always jealous of her, intimidated by her, uncomfortable with her confidence, etc. I just want her to stop. I'm so stressed out, I'm battling severe chronic illness, I'm having a very hard time coping with the unexpected suicide of my mother 2 weeks ago and trying to support my newly widowed father living 2hrs away... I fully accept that she's not going away and respect her place as the mother of these two wonderful kids, but I'm not sure how much more I'm going to be able to tolerate nicely or as Jesus would. I don't know what to do.

Thank you Father Amen 😊

This video was life changing, ive often been made to feel i was over reacting when i see the attempt's so clearly. I always wonder, how do couples just run into this after marraige? In a girlfriend and i cant imagine making it to wife with these issues

Hi! I noticed all of these videos mention spouse but I wonder, how does a couple go from girlfriend to wife without these issues? How do they progress to marriage and find these issues out ? I met my partnerd co parents at 3 months and she was rude to me and it's destroyed my confidence I don't feel I should have met her so soon

I like that each portion of the prayer is supported by scripture.
