The kids are in bed. This is when the real conversation happens.

Bedtime Banter is Drew and Christa working through marriage, parenting, and faith the way most couples actually do it, at the end of a long day with the lights off and nothing left to prove.

Every episode we get into what happened that week. The parenting win we didn't expect. The argument we handled badly. The verse that hit differently after a hard Tuesday. We talk about keeping a marriage strong when the calendar is full, raising kids who love Jesus without turning faith into a rulebook, and the gap between who we want to be and who we were at 6pm.

No experts. No five-step frameworks. Just two people who've been married a while, are still figuring it out, and would rather be honest about it than sound like we've arrived.

If you're tired after bedtime and want company that gets it, pull up a chair.]]></itunes:summary><image><url>https://artwork.captivate.fm/bc7a2c37-43d4-446c-bb4b-b90003aca558/Bedtime-Banter-Captivate-3000x3000-Compressed.jpg</url><title>Bedtime Banter</title><link><![CDATA[https://www.bedtimebanter.com]]></link></image><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/bc7a2c37-43d4-446c-bb4b-b90003aca558/Bedtime-Banter-Captivate-3000x3000-Compressed.jpg"/><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Bedtime Banter</itunes:name></itunes:owner><itunes:author>Bedtime Banter</itunes:author><description>The house is quiet.
