The Making Hesstory Podcast is all about two things: our love for Jesus and our desire to see families made healthy and whole.
We believe healthy families begin with healthy parents—and that happens through discipleship to Jesus and His ways.
Our mission is to equip people around the world with the tools and truth needed to build relationships and home lives marked by love, peace, joy, and trust.
By bringing the gospel into everyday situations, we help bridge the gap between spiritual insight and practical living—whether in marriage, parenting, or personal growth.
Join us every Friday as we explore who God is and how to bring the reality of the gospel into your daily life.

Ep 59 | Should Kids Be Afraid of Their Parents?
The Bible says in Proverbs 9:10 that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," which is a good thing. But then it describes fear as something that God intends to "cast out" of us in 1 John 4:18. So...are we supposed to fear God, or not?
In this episode, Brian and Katie examine a few Greek and Hebrew words found in the Bible that get translated as "fear," and they discuss what this means for our relationship with God and with our kids.

Ep 58 | Don't Just Raise Your Kids in Church — Raise Them in Christ
Being a disciple of Jesus means more than attending a church service once a week (or whenever it's convenient). Learning and following the ways of Jesus happens in the daily rhythms of life.
In this week's episode, Brian and Katie talked about...
Raising kids in a home that is centered around Jesus.
The difference between active and passive discipleship.
The reality that the best way to raise kids who know, love, and follow Jesus is to give them a childhood in which they watched their parents be discipled by Jesus.
