Ep. 4.51 : A Very Merry Conversation with Sophie Hudson and Melanie Shankle

It’s the week of Christmas, and if it ain’t already done, it ain’t gonna happen. Well maybe not, but nonetheless you need today’s podcast. Melanie Shankle and Sophie Hudson from the Big Boo Cast are sitting down for a hilarious conversation on so many things that I had a hard time even coming up with a title for today. 

I love their wisdom on extending grace to our kids and how the whole notion of Jesus’ grace changes our families. Sophie also has a new devo on grace that fills a big gap in the devo world for teenage girls. I realize you’ve got some serious last minute Christmas crazy going on right now, but here’s a few additional topics you can’t miss on today’s show: 

  • The very real struggle of real versus artificial trees
  • Holiday traditions if you’re into that kinda thing 
  • Walking our kids through tough friendships 
  • Raising kids who can cheer on others
  • Saying “yes” to your kids as often as possible
  • Social media thoughts from a few moms who’ve lived it 

I hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas! 

Enjoy this well-deserved break with Sophie and Melanie.
