286: Disputes Over Theology, Missing Date Nights, Prioritizing Family // Ben & Jessa Seewald

Homeschool Course: The First Three Years Laying a foundation of joy, confidence, and a love of learning from the start.https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com/homeschool For 15% off the course, use discount code: YTHOMESCHOOL-Ben & Jessa Seewald have been married for almost 10 years and have 5 children. Jessa wrote - "I love interior design and am always excited to team up with Jana and do projects for family and friends. Whether it’s for a home or business, we love refurbishing old pieces, shopping for bargains, and seeing an idea become a reality. I love reading—though in this busy season with young kids, I find myself working in hours of audio books on the go, rather than sitting down with a book in hand. I’m grateful to be able to spend so much of much my time with my kids. Even though some days can be a bit crazy, it is also so much fun, and I count it one of my greatest blessings to get to be their mom.   Ben loves reading good books, especially on theology and, because of this, our family library is ever-expanding. Since finishing his degree at Moody Bible Institute online, he has been actively involved in church ministry. Ben is also an adventurous foodie. He loves to take me out on dates to new restaurants, and try out the most unique menu items. He’s a sweet, patient and engaged father and husband. He loves wrestling with the boys, and cuddling his baby girl while he tells the kids a story."
