Welcome back, friends! Season 2 is here, and I couldn’t be more excited to start it off with a conversation that is so close to my heart—family culture.


In this episode, I sit down with my sister, Erica Bankston, to talk about how we each began shaping the culture of our homes—long before kids came along. We share real stories from marriage, raising little ones, and finding unity even when our backgrounds were very different.


We cover:

• Why your family culture starts with communication

• The importance of finding a church home together

• Traditions that shape peace and belonging for your kids

• How God leads us in building something new and beautiful in our homes


One of my favorite moments in this conversation is remembering that the children who come back home are the ones who grew up seeing it as a place of peace, not chaos. That is my prayer for each of us—that our homes would reflect God’s heart of love, stability, and grace.


Scripture reminds us: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1


I hope this conversation encourages you to prayerfully shape your own family culture, no matter where you are starting.
