On today's episode, a special guest (Tim Goeman) joins us to talk about the early formative years of parenting. We also move on to the later stages of the family to talk about end-of-life issues (i.e., taking care of elderly parents). These are often issues that get ignored, but as believers, we need to have these conversations.
