    28 | Thanksgiving Part 1: Choosing Gratitude

    As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re kicking off a two-part series all about gratitude and contentment. This week, we’re diving into gratitude with a fun, real conversation- everything from the chaos and busyness of life to the everyday blessings we tend to overlook, we explore how gratitude keeps us grounded in God’s grace towards us. We share stories, Scripture, and practical ways to cultivate a grateful heart this Thanksgiving and see God’s goodness in the ordinary moments of life. Don’t miss next week’s episode, when we talk about how gratitude leads to contentment and a settled, joy-filled heart.

    27 | Too Soon for the Tree?

    In this fun and festive episode, we kick off the holiday season with laughter, stories, and a few friendly debates, like when it’s actually acceptable to put up the Christmas tree and whether or not Mariah is quite thawed out just yet. From Mannheim Steamroller to the timeless duo of Kenny and Dolly, we talk of the road-trip soundtrack that has marked our Thanksgiving travels for years. We (well, Eric) make a playful case for keeping Thanksgiving sacred and not skipping straight to Santa before the turkey is even carved! Along the way, we remind listeners to slow down, laugh often, and approach this season with intentionality, savoring what truly matters.  CONNECT FURTHER WITH LINDSAY: Website | Instagram TheBuiltForMorePodcast Instagram EMAIL: thehousetheparksbuilt@gmail.com SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER

    25 | Listener Q&A, Part 1: Prayer, Parenting, & Building Healthy Families

    In this special Q&A episode celebrating our 25th show, we answer listener-submitted questions that range from the lighthearted to the deeply personal. We talk about prayer through the lens of the Lord's Prayer and the story of Elijah, and share honest reflections on discipline, sibling relationships, and the importance of investing in your marriage while raising kids. It's a mix of laughter, honesty, lessons learned, and hopefully some real-life encouragement for anyone striving to live out their faith at home and beyond.  CONNECT FURTHER WITH LINDSAY: Website | Instagram TheBuiltForMorePodcast Instagram EMAIL: thehousetheparksbuilt@gmail.com SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER

    24 | More Than a Job: Work With Purpose, Walk With People

    This week, we talk about how faith shapes the way we work and the people we work alongside. From Lindsay's recent experience at a Christian retreat for women entrepreneurs to Eric's career in a faith-based medical practice, we explore what it means to steward your work well and build genuine community in the process. Whether you're surrounded by believers or standing alone in a secular workplace, this episode reminds us that our work is more than just a means to a paycheck... it's a place of purpose, calling, and connection.

    23 | From Struggle to Surrender— Our Story of Infertility

    From the outside, our family of seven might look like a story of effortless blessing, but the truth is, the road to having five kids was anything but easy. In this honest conversation, we open up about our journey through infertility, the emotional and spiritual toll of waiting, and some funny moments along the way. We share lessons we learned about faith and God’s timing and we pray it encourages you, whether in the waiting or walking with someone who is, to remember that God’s plan is always good, and His grace is more than enough.  CONNECT FURTHER WITH LINDSAY: Website | Instagram TheBuiltForMorePodcast Instagram EMAIL: thehousetheparksbuilt@gmail.com SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER

    22 | Making Space For What Matters

    Between kids' sports, long work days, and weekends that blur together, it's easy to have full calendars but hearts that feel stretched thin. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it means to live with margin— the intentional space between our limits and our load.  From running late to church (again) to wrapping up a whirlwind of fall sports, we share how even good things can crowd out what's best. Through personal stories, practical reflection, and biblical insight, we explore how God designed us for rest, not relentless striving.  We hope you'll hear how learning to say no can make room for renewal, rest, and a quiet confidence that God is at work and will provide.
