In this episode, Myrna sits down with Andrew Love to discuss his journey to become a parent. Starting from a declaration in his early twenties that he was never going to have kids because it is bad for the environment, through becoming open to the idea of having kids but dealing with a deep-seated fear that he would be a bad parent to a place where he is deeply in love with being a parent to his three boys. Andrew also shared about how his faith forms and sustains his family and has lead to healing of the relationships with his parents.

Andrew Love has been blessed in marriage for 12 to his wife from Mongolia whose upbringing greatly influenced him to see parenting as natural, intuitive and about being present to their needs. He has filled many roles in life, being a comedian, a missionary, and a pastor. Starting in 2012, Andrew has worked with High Noon, a program that supports individuals getting ready for marriage, and now serves as the Executive Director. https://highnoon.org/
