How to Navigate a Blended Family with Scott & Vanessa Martindale

Have you ever felt like pieces of your past have disqualified you from a beautiful story in the present? Your family's story may look different than you expected. Perhaps it has been fragmented by the loss of a spouse or shattered by a painful divorce. But the truth is this: there is no story too far from redemption. God will weave beauty and restoration into your family's story if you allow Him.

In this episode of At Home with the Beveres, Join Addison and Juli as they discuss the power of redemption in families with guests Scott and Vanessa Martindale. As a blended family, Scott and Vanessa open up about their personal story, offering fresh vision for how God moves us toward a new narrative of healing and wholeness.

Today's conversation invites us to embrace and celebrate the many forms our families can take. How can we partner with the redemption God wants to write through our "yes"? How can we build unity and peace into our homes so that these can be spaces for families to thrive?
