Raising Healthy Humans: Parenting with Purpose is a real-talk conversation with Ashley & Carlie Terradez on what it actually looks like to raise kids who are healthy in heart, mind, relationships—and faith.

In this episode, they share lessons learned from raising three kids into adulthood (and now stepping into grandparent life!), including why parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection, consistency, and coaching. You’ll hear practical wisdom on helping teens transition into adulthood, teaching responsibility and a healthy relationship with money, and creating a home that feels like a safe place to land.

They also tackle today’s biggest challenges—screen time, smartphones, social media, and protecting your kids without putting them in a bubble—plus why shame and isolation don’t produce healthy growth. Most importantly, Ashley & Carlie talk about modeling a real relationship with Jesus in everyday life and trusting the Holy Spirit for wisdom in every season.

Whether you’re raising toddlers, navigating teenagers, or believing for reconciliation with a prodigal, this episode will encourage you, equip you, and remind you: you’re anointed for parenting.

Is happily ever after realistic… or is marriage setting people up for disappointment?

In this episode of our T-Time Podcast, Ashley and Carlie Terradez have an honest, real-life conversation about marriage—cutting through cultural myths, unrealistic expectations, and fear-based narratives that surround commitment today.

We talk about why so many people question marriage, whether living together is really a safer option, and what actually makes a relationship thrive long-term. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and decades of marriage, this episode challenges the idea that marriage is either a fantasy or a trap—and reveals God’s design for covenant, joy, and lasting partnership.

If you’ve ever wondered:

1. Is marriage still relevant?
2. Does “happily ever after” really exist?
3. Should I say yes… or walk away?

This episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and truth.

1. Marriage isn’t a fairytale or a nightmare—it’s a covenant designed by God to grow, strengthen, and mature you.
2. Unrealistic expectations are often what disappoint people, not marriage itself.
3. Living together and marriage are not the same. Covenant brings security, clarity, and commitment that convenience cannot.
4. Fear of commitment is one of the biggest reasons people avoid marriage today—but fear isn’t from God.
5. Happily ever after doesn’t mean problem-free—it means having the tools, grace, and partnership to walk through life together.
6. Marriage reveals and refines you, helping develop character, selflessness, and love.
7. God’s design for marriage still works, even when culture says otherwise.
8. Saying “yes forever” is not about perfection—it’s about faithfulness, growth, and choosing covenant daily.
