The Abundant Life Family Podcast Episode 25 | Managing Expectations with In-Laws

Episode Summary

When we get married, we create a brand new family from two existing families. Many times, we grow up with different traditions, expectations, routines, and habits. Sometimes those differences can be easily adapted. Sometimes, it can be more of a struggle. In this episode of the Abundant Life Family Podcast, our hosts, Bill and Jen Hildebrand chat with Abundant Life Executive Pastor of Campuses, Lance Harrington, and his wife Rebecca Harrington, Johnson County Campus Worship Leader, about managing and navigating expectations when it comes to our in-laws. The Harringtons share about their experiences navigating different, and sometimes un-conventional, family traditions, setting boundaries, and making decisions that are right for the family they created, while still honoring God and their families of origin. The Family Ministry at Abundant Life is here to help you build a family that lasts, check out livingproof.co/family for more resources.
