I’m so excited for you to meet my friend Jenny Marrs in this episode, she is the real deal: generous, grounded, and hilariously honest about what it’s like to parent a big, beautiful, complicated family. Jenny’s new book, Trust God, Love People (out October 7 — grab it wherever you buy books), is a collection of short, bite-sized stories of God’s faithfulness written especially for busy parents who don’t have time to read a memoir cover-to-cover. We talk adoption, spiritual warfare, and the he middle of the mess, yes, including Jenny’s delightful obsession with “heart rocks” (you’ll want to start collecting them on your next walk). If you’re in a waiting season — adoption, infertility, loss, or any long “not yet” — Jenny’s honesty about how waiting reshaped her faith will land like a warm hand on your shoulder. She shares the ways her family marks God’s faithfulness (photos, rocks, kitchen bowls full of memory) and how those markers bring perspective when grief or chaos arrives. We also get real about life in the public eye: filming a family show, the hard comments online, and protecting kids while being authentic. Jenny’s practical tiny tweaks are gold for busy moms: bring meals, send a quick “thinking of you” text, call people by name, and keep a giant handwritten calendar where everyone can see it — simple, doable, meaningful. Before we go, Jenny answers rapid-fire (including what she’s clinging to in hard times — a New Year’s trip countdown on her airline app — and one filming secret: outfit changes for days). Tiny tweak reminder from us both this week: if someone comes to mind, bring them a meal or send a quick note, loving people well is usually small, and it matters more than we know.
