5 Easy Ways You Can Strengthen Your Marriage and Family Life!
Authentically and Imperfectly
Picture this: You call all the kids to the living room for a family rosary, ok just a decade of the rosary, and you hear the teenager moan in dread while you bribe the 5 year old with fruit snacks to sit and listen and be quiet.
You quickly say the rosary while whisper screaming at the 9 year old to keep her hands to herself and a part of you just wishes family prayer could be more... prayerful. Sound familiar?
Hey there! We're Matt and Stacy Halbach, and we've been there too.
With backgrounds in theology, catechesis, and the school of hard knocks (a.k.a. parenting), we created Jump In to support Spirit-led family life in the real world. Through our blog, books, talks, and resources, we walk alongside Catholic families like yours to help you thrive in the chaos.
Our mission? To remind you that you're not alone, and that God is right there with you (even when life feels like a hot mess express).
So, if you're ready to embrace the imperfect, laugh at the craziness, and dive deeper into your Catholic faith with your family, you've found your people. Welcome to Jump In!
