Most families are just surviving. Arrows & Acres is for the ones who want something more. Daniel and Allison Hartman are a husband and wife raising a large family on Florida's Gulf Coast — homeschooling, homesteading, running a family business, and doing all of it on purpose. This podcast is the conversation they're having at the kitchen table, in the truck, and at the end of a long day — and now they're pulling up a chair for you. They're not here to motivate you. They're here to challenge you. Every episode cuts into the real stuff: what it actually takes to raise children who become capable, godly adults. How to protect your family's attention in a world designed to steal it. What biblical manhood and womanhood look like when you strip away the cultural noise. How to build something together as a family — a business, a homestead, a legacy — without handing your life over to debt or a schedule someone else controls. What it means to disciple your children n…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-10T00:21:27.284478+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/arrows-and-acres-7836536"},"episode":{"title":"The Continual Drip: What Control Is Costing Your Marriage, with Serene Allison (Ep 18)","slug":"the-continual-drip-what-control-is-costing-your-marriage-with-serene-allison-ep-18","published_at":"2026-08-05T13:57:38+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/arrows-and-acres-7836536/the-continual-drip-what-control-is-costing-your-marriage-with-serene-allison-ep-18","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/arrows-and-acres-7836536","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/fee2104c9ea26433d8c72c9c707abe88aa2620b10b62e43df50fe5932158418c/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJjOTA0YjJlYi0zN2EzLTQ0ODktOTU4ZS1mZjYxZTlmN2UwNjUiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI2YWFkNTUwOS1kYWE1LTRlNGMtODFlYy0xM2M2OWFiMzU5ZmIiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OWJlY2Y5OTMwZGYyMjg3MzhiMzJhNjIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmE3MzNiNTRlYzU0NTQ5NGVjMzAzYTcyL3JhbmR5LXNjaHJ1bXMtc3R1ZGlvLURsWlVHLWNvbXBvc2VyLTIwMjYtOC01X18xNS0zMi0zLm1wMyJ9.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/fee2104c9ea26433d8c72c9c707abe88aa2620b10b62e43df50fe5932158418c/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJjOTA0YjJlYi0zN2EzLTQ0ODktOTU4ZS1mZjYxZTlmN2UwNjUiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI2YWFkNTUwOS1kYWE1LTRlNGMtODFlYy0xM2M2OWFiMzU5ZmIiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OWJlY2Y5OTMwZGYyMjg3MzhiMzJhNjIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmE3MzNiNTRlYzU0NTQ5NGVjMzAzYTcyL3JhbmR5LXNjaHJ1bXMtc3R1ZGlvLURsWlVHLWNvbXBvc2VyLTIwMjYtOC01X18xNS0zMi0zLm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"Marriages rarely fall apart in one loud moment. They erode. Quietly. One sigh, one silent treatment, one \"are you sure that's right, darling\" at a time. Allison recorded this one in the middle of Gulf Coast Family Camp with Serene Allison, co-founder of Trim Healthy Mama, her close friend and her co-grandmother by marriage. Serene has been married almost thirty years, and she says it took the first ten to stop being her husband's conscience and the next ten to stop trying to be his Holy Spirit. It started with a verse she could not get out of her head. Proverbs describes the contentious woman as \"a continual dripping on a very rainy day.\" Serene read that for years and decided it did not apply to her. She was not a yeller. She was not dramatic. She was a helper. Then she looked harder at what a drip actually does. It does not flood a house in an afternoon. It erodes concrete over time. In this conversation: Why the small things are the dangerous things, the sigh, the silence, the quiet second-guess, and why most wives are tearing down the house with their own hands without ever knowing it. Behind the scenes control, which Serene calls control dressed up in a Sunday best hat. Organizing the children to organize their father. Hiding the corn chips. Managing a grown man's health, his schedule, and his reputation, and calling it help. Three pop quizzes in a single week. A friend's fiftieth birthday her husband decided to skip. Resurrection Sunday, muddy work boots, and the excuses she did not make for him. A laundry basket, a dark walk to an out building, and the silent treatment she had already planned in her head. Respect as a gift rather than a wage. Serene makes the case that a wife can honor the office of husband the way a citizen honors the office of president, befor…","meta_description":"Marriages rarely fall apart in one loud moment.
