For most people, becoming a parent is beautiful but also scary and intimidating. But that is especially true for people from broken families. Often, we didn’t see a great example of parenthood, so we feel lost and unsure how to do it ourselves.

In this episode, we talk parenting with Mike and Alicia Hernon, the parents of 10 kids and leaders of a ministry for parents called The Messy Family Project. We discuss:

• How his parents’ divorce affected Mike as a husband and father
• Fears he had about becoming a father, how he overcame them, and how you can too
• Should you put your marriage first or your children first and why is that important?
• Lots of practical parenting tips, especially for new parents
• Encouragement if you feel like you don’t have what it takes to be a good parent because you never experienced it in your family
