  • Ep 43 | Tips for discipling your kids
    In many parts of the world, words like "Christian" and "disciple" have nearly lost their meaning. For countless believers, actively practicing the ways of Jesus is optional and typically reserved for the few "radical" Christians.But this mindset will only lead to a weak and powerless church consisting of people who believe in the existence of God while lacking love, power, and authority.In this episode, Brian and Katie discuss what it truly means to be a disciple (apprentice) of Jesus and share some practical ways to bring discipleship into your home.Want to connect with us?

  • Ep 41 | Love is joyful, not happy
    It's normal to want our kids to be happy...but what if the goal of "happiness" is robbing us and our kids of something better?Happiness is good, but it's fragile and circumstantial.Joy, on the other hand, is lasting, and is something that we can choose even when life gets hard.Join Brian and Katie as they discuss the difference between happiness and joy, and why loving our kids well requires that we aim higher than to simply make them happy.Want to connect with us?

  • Ep 40 | Love is kind, not nice (pt. 2)
    Sometimes the nice things we do for our kids are, in all seriousness, very unkind.Love is kind, and kindness is motivated by what you can do for the good of someone else.Niceness, on the other hand, does not typically regard what is good for someone else, and is more selfishly motivated.Join Brian and Katie as they talk about what they believe to be simultaneously one of the nicest and most unkind things parents do for their kids in the society we live in today - give them their own smartphone.Want to connect with us?

  • Ep 39 | Love is kind, not nice
    This may come as a surprise, but it's possible that your efforts of being nice are coming at the expense of your ability to be kind.The Bible describes kindness as an expression of love. And if love means to "will the good of another" then kindness means to regarding the needs of others for their sake and benefit.Niceness, on the other hand, is often manipulative. It may look like kindness on the outside, but the difference is that being nice means elevating our own desires and interests above the needs of others.Join Brian and Katie as they discuss why being kind is superior to being nice, and why parents need to understand this.Want to connect with us?

About Making Hesstory

The Making Hesstory Podcast is about two things: Our love for Jesus, and our desire to see families made healthy and whole.We believe that healthy families need healthy parents, and that parents become healthiest through discipleship to Jesus and His ways.Our goal is to equip people around the world with the knowledge and tools necessary to cultivate relationships and a home life that is marked by love, peace, and joy, and trust.By introducing the gospel and biblical truth into the every day situations of our lives, we'll help bridge the gap between the spirituality and practicality of being married, raising kids, and becoming the people Jesus calls us to be.Join us every Friday as we explore the truth about who God is and how to bring the realities of the gospel into our daily lives.
