    The Power of Words in a Blended Family (This Changes Everything)

    Words matter — especially in a blended family. This week we are talking about the weight of the words you use with your spouse and stepkids, and how your vocabulary is quietly shaping the culture, unity, and future of your home. From everyday phrases to subtle language choices, what you say can either erase invisible lines or reinforce them. If you want a Christ-centered home marked by unity, trust, and belonging, it starts with intentional words spoken in love.

  4. The Hard Truth About Control and Co-Parenting

    The Hard Truth About Control and Co-Parenting

    One of the biggest challenges in blended family life is the fear and anxiety that comes from not having control — wondering what’s happening in the other home, what your kids are hearing, and how they’re being influenced when you’re not there. That loss of control can weigh heavy on your heart and spill into your marriage, your peace, and your walk with God. In this week’s episode of New Ark, we talk about learning to let go and trust God with what you can’t control. From navigating toxic situations, legal battles, and emotional stress to focusing on your faith and home, we explore how peace begins when we hand it all over to Him. We share how to: ✅ Release anxiety and fear by trusting God’s plan for your children. ✅ Strengthen your marriage to create a stable, Christ-honoring home. ✅ Find peace through prayer, scripture, and focusing on what’s within your control. ✅ Let the Gospel influence your kids’ hearts and bring light to your blended home. When we stop trying to manage every outcome and start inviting God into every moment, He replaces fear with peace and chaos with calm. 💛
