He Does the Impossible.","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":3479,"description":"Andy and Stacie Wood on building a home with a vision, the habits that hold it together, where phones and club sports fit, and why God doesn't need your family to be ideal.\nThis conversation picks up where the weekend message left off. Watch \"Stronger Homes\" first: https://youtu.be/eTb0sc7OKDg\nIn Episode 4 of Stronger, Andy and Stacie Wood sit down with Ariel Amaro the week Andy taught Joshua 24, \"as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord,\" and they go where a Sunday message can't: the family Andy grew up in (a divorce, a single dad, and a blended family), how the Woods wrote a vision and four values for their home, the model week and the yearly rhythms that keep them on it, and how they handle phones, the car, and kids who would rather be on a device.\nThen the hot takes: one activity per kid and the club sports question, church every weekend, when a kid is ready to date, the two things that cover a lot of parenting mistakes, and what Stacie would tell her younger self.\nSingle parent, blended family, a home you never saw modeled, or kids who are already 14 with no plan yet, this one is for you.\nNEXT WEEK\nStronger Generations: what it looks like to pass your faith from one generation to the next.\nONE THING TO DO THIS WEEK\nSit down and answer one question together: what do we want to see in our kids when they leave our home? Write it down. Then start one rhythm this week: a family night, phones away at dinner, or a high, low, buffalo around the table. If you're single or living with roommates, ask Andy's question instead: what habits am I building in my home now that I'll live in the fruit of later? Then send this to a family who needs it.\nRESOURCES MENTIONED\nFamily Vision Guide (vision, values, and habits for your home): https://sbstoragecdnprod.blob.core.windows.net/media/Resources/family_vision_guide.pdf\nHey-O!
