In this heartfelt episode of the Crazy Cool Family Podcast, Don and Suzanne reflect on over three decades of parenting, ministry, and the launch of their brand-new resource, the Parenting Playbook. Whether you're in the thick of raising toddlers or navigating relationships with adult children, this conversation reminds you of a simple truth: family is worth it.
Don and Suzanne get real about their early struggles in ministry, the tension of leading together as very different personalities, and the transformation God brought through years of learning, growing, and letting the Holy Spirit guide. They talk candidly about "parent guilt," the pressure to be perfect, and how connection—not control—is the key to lasting family impact.
This episode is more than a recap—it's an invitation. An invitation to trade guilt for grace, to grow daily as a parent, and to believe that family is not just a duty but a divine opportunity. The Mannings share how God continues to inspire them to reach more families and why the Crazy Cool Family mission is now focused on equipping you with resources that make spiritual growth and relational depth easier, more practical, and more accessible than ever.
