## Resource

Hey friends, You know those conversations that feel like sunshine and strong coffee at the same time? That’s what today’s episode is. I’m sitting down with the one and only Cynthia Yanof, OG host of the Pardon the Mess podcast and someone who knows how to bring laughter, truth, and grace into every room she walks into. We’re talking about her brand new book, How’d I Miss That? and it’s all about those holy “aha” moments, when something you've heard a million times in Scripture suddenly lands differently and stirs your heart in a new way. If you've been craving encouragement that’s both lighthearted and deeply rooted, this episode is for you. Here’s what we unpack: Why love is the Christian brand and how we often forget that How mustard seed moments can shape your legacy as a parent What it means to live your faith in ordinary, everyday ways How to create a personal “Mount Rushmore” to guide your parenting and faith It’s hopeful. It’s hilarious. And it will make you want to lean in just a little closer to Jesus today. Cynthia is a speaker, author, and podcast host passionate about encouraging parents to pursue Jesus in the middle of the mess. She’s the original host of Pardon the Mess and now serves as a frequent voice in the Christian Parenting community. Her latest book, How’d I Miss That? , is all about rediscovering the simple but powerful truths of our faith that we often overlook. Cynthia lives in Texas with her husband and kids and brings wisdom wrapped in wit wherever she goes. Let’s keep choosing the small things, because they’re often the big things in disguise.
