Turning Strangers into Siblings, with Vanessa Martindale

THIS MONTH’S PRAYER GUIDE: Praying God’s Word for Your Blended Family.

Are you a blended family concerned about helping your “his, mine, and ours” truly feel like family?

I’m nothing if not a child of the 90s, so when I think about THE blended family, I think about the Brady Bunch. I know reality is probably very far from that picture, so Vanessa Martindale, of Blended Kingdom Families, is here today to help us understand some of the most common challenges blended families face as they turn strangers into siblings.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about:

  • the emotions our children feel as they are forced to enter into a new family and gain new siblings

  • how parents can be proactive in helping the children of a new marriage feel like family, and…

  • how to turn strangers into siblings.

Don’t miss this episode. Even if you aren’t a blended family, you know one. Take the time to understand them better when you tune in now!


Today’s show is brought to you by our newest prayer guide, Praying God’s Word for Your Blended Family.
