Our 1 Blessed Mess
Honest conversations about faith, family, life, and business.
Ben and Liz have six kids, even more chickens, and a whole heap of chaos—but they wouldn’t have it any other way. Life is messy, unpredictable, and full of God’s blessings. Liz left a six-figure business to focus on raising their family and building an entrepreneurial home, while Ben, a designer/developer, helps keep their beautifully chaotic world running. With 4 teenagers and countless adventures, they tackle life’s challenges with faith, humor, and grace. On their podcast, they’ll encourage, challenge, inspire, and, most importantly, make you laugh as they share the ups and downs of finding God in the middle of it all.

That was great! Very interesting! I have a snake story, not in a chicken coupe, however! The questions on your "We" could be used for a Me if one is without a spouse. I'd like to get those questions. The Gallop test sounds interesting. Thank you for sharing! Bev Earley
