A podcast for the bride of Christ. If you are called, come! As a married couple, the Oppongs talk about their marriage and life in parallel to their union with Christ the King. Through their conversations, they aim to glorify God and edify his body, at the same time leaving a legacy for posterity. Tune in!
Charlie is growing up, and that means the way he learns is changing too.
In this episode, we share an honest update on parenting a five-year-old, why his Scripture memorization looks different today, how his love for God's Word has matured, and why we've learned to adapt our parenting rather than force the same methods.
Every child develops differently, and we're simply sharing what we're learning along the way.
