cnarsi ,

We’re the sane ones!!!!

This really is one of the best podcasts out there if you are looking to feel “not crazy” in the midst of crazy ideologies trying to steal your kids. I am convinced there are more of us then there are of them who seek sanity through conservative values. This podcast will connect you to incredible parents who are taking a stand and give you courage to parent by your own God-given convictions without fear!!!!

The PTA Episode is Eye Opening

Excellent episode of a great podcast.

Not you average parenting podcast

Common sense, important questions, and a touch of politics, for reasonable moms and dads.
