Irene Sun on Raising PKs (Best of By Faith)
Christine chats with Irene Sun about the dual role of being a mom and the pastor’s wife on Sunday mornings (and all the other times we’re parenting while being available to people in the church). Irene is also a pastor’s daughter, so she shares some really good stuff about what she experienced as a kid and how her parents handled difficult situations in ministry.

Zack Eswine on Our Inconsolable Things (Best of By Faith)
Christine talks with pastor and author Zack Eswine about living with our "inconsolable things" as Christians. They discuss what exactly he means by "inconsolable things," how we must acknowledge them, what the wisdom literature of Scripture has to say about them, and how we can help others in their own inconsolable things.
