Sometimes God orchestrates introductions decades in the making.

Daniele Hage and I share a dear mutual friend, have walked remarkably similar paths, and yet had never met until recently.

The moment I learned that Daniele wasn't just a passionate follower of Christ, but also a respected relationship expert married to her husband Steve for 45 years, I knew I wanted to sit down and learn from her.

We discovered so many parallels in our stories—marrying young in a life of full time ministry with pastor-husbands, raising several children, building strong marriages, maintaining close relationships with our adult children, and now enjoying the privilege of collaborating with them in meaningful ways.

This conversation is packed with practical wisdom, hard-earned perspective, and encouraging truths for every season of family life.

Whether you're newly married, decades into marriage, navigating relationships with adult children, or simply longing to build a stronger family legacy, I think you'll find some real treasure here.

I'd love to hear what stands out to you after you listen. Drop a comment and join the conversation.

In this beautiful conversation, I sit down with my dear friend of over 30 years—an Australian mother of 4, grandmother of 5 (and counting!), and now a self-published children’s book author.

We talk about her unexpected journey into writing a full-color illustrated book series about an adventurous Australian huntsman spider—and how this creative endeavor is helping her pass on truth, courage, and curiosity to the next generation.

Together, we explore the unique power of Christian faith in both parenting and grandparenting, the joy and responsibility of legacy, and how the “second chapter” of life is ripe for purpose and creativity.

Whether you’re a mom in the trenches or a grandmother dreaming about what’s next, this episode will encourage you to dream big, walk boldly in faith, and see your influence in a whole new light.

🎧 Tune in—you’ll leave inspired, challenged, and reminded that it’s never too late to make an impact.
