Hey There!
We’re Bryce and Colette Schaffer!
We get it – marriage is beautiful, but it's also hard work. After 30 years of marriage, three kids (now married with little ones of their own), and 20 years of pastoral ministry, we've learned that every family faces struggles. But we've also discovered that with God's wisdom and the right tools, every home can become a sanctuary of hope.
Whether you're just starting out, in the thick of parenting, or rediscovering each other as empty-nesters, we're here to help you build a Christ-centered home that thrives. Join us each week on Bringing Hope Home as we share practical biblical wisdom for real life. Ready to bring hope home to your life today?

Bringing Hope Home
Every week, we sit down together to have the conversations that matter most – the ones about marriage, parenting, and creating a Christ-centered home that actually works for real life. Our podcast Bringing Hope Home isn't about perfect families or picture-perfect solutions. It's about bringing God's truth into the beautiful mess of everyday family life.
This year, we're exploring the fruit of the Spirit and how each one can transform your marriage and home. From cultivating love and joy to practicing patience and kindness, we're discovering together how God's Word provides the foundation for thriving relationships. Whether you're newlyweds or empty-nesters, struggling or thriving, you'll find practical wisdom, biblical truth, and a lot of hope in every episode.

Today, I want to talk about the two parts of giving thanks that can powerfully impact our lives – praise and edification. You might not have considered praise and edification powerful practices, but literal battles have been won with praise alone! (Read 2 Chronicles 20:21-30)
