Episode 093: You Don't Have to Be a Perfect Parent to Raise Healthy Kids with Jennifer Pepito
In this episode of Let's Get Real, Justin and Trisha sit down with author, homeschool educator, and mother of seven Jennifer Pepito for an honest conversation about parenting, perfectionism, emotional healing, and learning to trust God with our children.
After more than three decades of parenting, Jennifer shares how her understanding of motherhood has evolved through raising seven very different children, navigating an eating disorder in her family, parenting a child with special needs, and confronting her own fears and insecurities.
Together, they explore how our family of origin shapes the way we parent, why our children's behavior can become entangled with our identity, and how doing our own emotional and spiritual work can transform the relationships we have with our kids.
Whether you're raising toddlers, navigating the teenage years, parenting adult children, or trying to break unhealthy patterns from your own childhood, this conversation is a reminder that parenting isn't a performance. It's an opportunity for God to continue transforming us as we love and lead our children.
Because our kids don't need perfect parents. They need parents who are willing to grow, heal, apologize, and trust God with what they cannot control.

Episode 092: When Saying Yes Means Saying No: Trusting God through Life’s Transitions with Justin & Trisha Davis
What happens when saying yes to something God has placed on your heart means saying no to things you genuinely love?
In this episode of Let's Get Real, Justin and Trisha sit down for their first conversation together in Season 9 to share some significant changes happening in their lives, family, and ministry.
Trisha opens up about a dream she walked away from more than 30 years ago, the unexpected journey that led her back to pursuing her counseling license in her 50s, and the fear, insecurity, and imposter syndrome she's had to navigate along the way.
Together, they explore the tension of life's transitions, the difficulty of releasing good things to make room for something new, and what it looks like to trust God when you don't know the destination.
They also share an important update about their marriage coaching ministry and why they've made the difficult decision to pause coaching for the next 12 months.
Whether you're considering a career change, navigating a relationship, pursuing a long-forgotten dream, or simply wondering what's next, this conversation is an invitation to stop waiting for perfect clarity and start trusting God with your next step.
Because sometimes the greatest transformation happens not when we arrive at our destination, but through who we become along the way.

Every Table an Altar: Rediscovering the Power of Presence with Ian Simkins
We live in a world that has never been more connected—and yet so many of us feel increasingly lonely, divided, and distracted.
So what if one of the most powerful ways we could push back against all three was surprisingly simple?
Pull up a chair. Be present. Share a table.
In this episode of Let’s Get Real, Justin and Trisha sit down with pastor and author Ian Simkins to talk about his new book, Every Table an Altar, and why the ministry of Jesus so often happened around tables.
Ian shares how studying the life of Jesus changed the way he thinks about ministry, community, hospitality, and even the purpose of the local church. Rather than viewing the table as simply a place for polite hospitality, Ian challenges us to see ordinary spaces as opportunities to bring a little bit of God's kingdom into the lives of the people right in front of us.
Whether your “table” is your dining room, a coffee shop, your workplace, or even the counter of a gas station, this conversation will challenge you to look at the ordinary places of your life through a new kingdom lens.
