This week, I’m joined by Trillia Newbell for a meaningful conversation on the importance of community, celebrating differences, and how intentional family time can shape our kids' understanding of love, faith, and culture.

Here’s what you’ll hear in today’s episode:

• Intentional time spent around the table fosters communication, connection, and love within families.
• Food, stories, and shared experiences are great ways to introduce kids to different cultures and traditions.
• Parents can have meaningful, scripture-based conversations with their kids about diversity and celebrating differences.
• God’s Word is central to helping kids understand and appreciate the beauty in how He made each of us.

Trillia Newbell is a speaker, writer, and author of multiple books, including Celebrating Around the Table. She is passionate about faith, family, and fostering meaningful conversations about race, culture, and community through a biblical lens.

This conversation is both refreshing and practical, giving parents tangible ways to celebrate diversity, build strong family connections, and create a home centered on faith and love. I hope you enjoy it!
