What does it look like to lead your home with wisdom, joy, and strength—without getting crushed by rules and pressure? In this conversation, I invited Jen Jones (wife of 25 years, mom of 4, entrepreneur, pastor’s wife) back on the show to talk about values-based parenting, cultivating connection, and building a family culture that actually delights in each other.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

How to lead with values, not just rules—and use them to make big and everyday decisions

Why a culture of delight over demand changes the atmosphere of your home

Simple rhythms that build trust: “toes under the table” dinners, car-ride conversations, and undivided attention

How to lecture less, listen more, and ask better questions so teens keep talking

Practicals for boundaries and scheduling when you’re growing a business and a family

If you’re craving a home that feels aligned, peaceful, and full of real connection—press play.
