[00:00:00] JimBo Stewart: Here we are back at the bootcamp, back at it again. I hope you’re ready for the next episode. I have the most special of special guests that have ever special

guested

on the replant bootcamp podcast today. I have the entire stew crew, with us for a special replant family podcast. Hey everybody.

Welcome to the

[00:00:20] Cash Stewart: Hi Dad! Hey!

[00:00:21] Magnolia Stewart: What’s up?

[00:00:23] JimBo Stewart: So here we have my beautiful, wonderful wife of 20 years, this July, Ms. Audrea

Stewart,

[00:00:29] Audrea: Yes, I am here. The mama of the

crew.

[00:00:32] JimBo Stewart: the

mama of the crew, and then our oldest, when this goes out, will be 17, Tripp

Stewart.

[00:00:38] Tripp Stewart: Hello!

[00:00:39] JimBo Stewart: That’s him, and then Cash Stewart will be 15 this

year.

[00:00:43] Cash Stewart: Hey everybody!

[00:00:45] JimBo Stewart: And

then Magnolia will be 13 this

year.

So,

house full of teenagers, and a little over ten years ago, we moved to Jacksonville,

Florida, to replant on the west side of Jacksonville.

And we were there for seven years. So, you guys were six, four, and two when we moved to Jacksonville.

[00:01:04] Audrea: Yeah, that was a crazy time. Because we were, we had left from, New Orleans. And, Jimbo was like, hey, I think we’re gonna move to Florida. And I was like, really? Cause I have a really nice, support system here. And we’re gonna take a 2 year old, like, away from all that. So that was, um, That was pretty

crazy.

[00:01:24] JimBo Stewart: And it was a tough landing like I think within six months I had walking

pneumonia.

[00:01:28] Audrea and Mags: Well, let’s be real, like you and I had both grown up

on central time zone. So we grew up in Mississippi, had lived in New Orleans. so we moved a six, a four,

a 2-year-old all the way to Eastern Time zone.

And then two weeks later. it was Daylight Savings Time. So, that, that,

[00:01:48] JimBo Stewart: that was

crazy.

So time

[00:01:49] Audrea and Mags: changed

back.

to back. Yeah, so two hours off of our normal schedule.

So,

I

mean, it was

[00:01:54] JimBo Stewart: the people around us supporting the

group of friends

[00:01:58] Audrea and Mags: Exactly. And we were homeschooling at the time. We still are homeschooling.

So, I mean, there was a

lot

of

new

changes.

[00:02:04] JimBo Stewart: Alright,

so

I want to hear from each of you kids.

what stood out to you, like, what’s your earliest memory of the replant here in Jacksonville?

Let’s go first, Mags.

[00:02:14] Audrea and Mags: I’d probably say, walking into church,

in my like, pink dress, and bow and everything, and like, little kid stuff.

just seeing everyone, and everyone

being really

tall.

[00:02:26] JimBo Stewart: The earliest one I can

think

of is

[00:02:31] Cash Stewart: Um, the earliest one I can think

of

is being in the nursery with Miss Sandra, who is our preschool teacher, and playing the game about

the

rug.

[00:02:42] JimBo Stewart: the

rug.

[00:02:44] Tripp Stewart: for

me,

it would be When we remodeled what used to be the youth room when we kind of just cleared all that out, it was just kind of a junk room.

When Do you

remember

that?

[00:02:57] JimBo Stewart: Yeah.

Yeah. The

white one.

[00:02:59] Tripp Stewart: Uh, the,

the white

building

in the

back.

the white building in the back, uh, just kind of dumping

all

that stuff

out.

[00:03:04] JimBo Stewart: Yeah, that was, uh, if people have heard me talk about filling up construction size dumpsters, that was where a few

of

those,

came

from.

[00:03:11] Audrea and Mags: I also remember, Miss Andrea’s thing. I wanted

to

say that, too. A

couple of my earliest memories of you guys is walking in the first time with U Trip and your first words as soon as we walked in was it

smells

like

old

people.

[00:03:27] Cash Stewart: ha ha

ha! You

didn’t

you didn’t

say

[00:03:30] Audrea and Mags: say it

[00:03:30] JimBo Stewart: I said, please

be

quiet. Yeah,

there

[00:03:32] Tripp Stewart: were people there that heard that. It did

smell like old

people.

[00:03:36] JimBo Stewart: people.

It did. And

Cash,

[00:03:39] Audrea and Mags: and cash. I believe like Because they didn’t have children’s church at the time and so you guys were just hanging out

with

me.

Yeah,

and so this

was

When they used to allow anybody to give announcements like from the floor And so you raised your

[00:03:52] JimBo Stewart: yeah.

Well, after they would do the announcements, they would say, Does

anyone

else

have

any

[00:03:58] Audrea and Mags: Well, no, they didn’t say announcements.

Does anyone else have anything else to say? I remember it. And you being the sweet little literal kid you were, you raised your hand and said, and they’re like, Okay, Cash, and everybody kind of chuckled, and you said,

God is

a

very big

[00:04:12] JimBo Stewart: big God.

That’s what you

said. Which

it uh, it really is.

[00:04:20] Cash Stewart: it it really is.

I mean, the Earth is

[00:04:22] JimBo Stewart: big

planet.

Alright, so here’s what I want to move to next, from each of you. What advice would you have for the pastors listening?

Not the kids,

we’ll go to the

kids next.

[00:04:34] Audrea and Mags: I’d

probably give advice about making time. I think my dad has definitely done a really good job of that, and I definitely know him more for it. Like, maybe

taking

a day

off,

every

now and

then, or like, during your breaks, just going out

in the yard

and

playing

catch,

something

like that.

[00:04:53] Cash Stewart: Alright.

[00:04:54] Tripp Stewart: that’s good.

[00:04:55] Cash Stewart: yeah,

I would

have

to, agree with that and add on to it. Finding things that you can do, like extracurriculars, with your kids. Not just being home and talking about work and looking at work emails saying

that

you’re

home.

But actually spending time and quality time with your family, your wife and kids.

because,

They

do miss you, like, a lot

when

you’re gone,

and the older they get, the more they realize, oh wait, he’s gone,

and,

like,

if you don’t spend time with them, the hard truth is they might start to think that you don’t care about

them,

and

so

on,

[00:05:29] JimBo Stewart: And I’ll

be honest, I,

I

wasn’t

always

the

best

at

that, was I?

[00:05:34] Cash Stewart: you used to be, uh, you used to be, uh, gone a lot, but you’ve, we found

ways

to

really,

like,

keep

it

going,

[00:05:40] JimBo Stewart: Yeah, it was, it was hard for me not to bring work home,

and that’s

definitely looking back, something I wish

I would

have done

better.

Tripp, what

advice

would

you

have for

the

pastors?

[00:05:49] Tripp Stewart: I would say your kids are definitely going to be looked at a lot.

They’re going to be considered role models

and

people will look to your kids as an example

of you.

But I would not raise your kids, to just be good for the church’s sake. I would say raise your kids so that they will be good kids. Not put the pressure of them that, you know, If they’re not good kids, it looks bad on you or

the

church.

[00:06:16] Audrea and Mags: Yeah, like kids that you want to hang out with

when you’re older. Like, would I like to be this kid’s friend when they’re adults?

Am I just preparing them to leave, or am I preparing

them

to

be

good

friends?

[00:06:31] JimBo Stewart: friends?

Good that I’m hearing you say is Good kids.

Don’t make the fact that they are pastor’s kids

be

part

of

your

expectations on

their behavior.

[00:06:44] Audrea and Mags: Yeah. One of my

favorite things, I think through those years at Redemption, and I think we’ve talked about this before, because our schedule could be kind of crazy.

We, we had

special days

set

aside.

Yeah, we, like, watched

movies

together as a family.

[00:07:01] Cash Stewart: it was

on

like

Wednesdays, I

think,

[00:07:03] JimBo Stewart: So yeah,

so Wednesday nights after church. Because we knew Wednesday was gonna be a long, long day. And so, Wednesday

nights

after

church,

we

would try

to do something together.

[00:07:12] Cash Stewart: and

other

and

even

other

than that,

 we sometimes whenever we made time, we played tennis

because

there

was

a tennis

court

like right by

the church.

we didn’t really

[00:07:21] Tripp Stewart: know how,

[00:07:21] Cash Stewart: but

we had

fun

with

our

dad. Uh, and now like we’re playing disc golf

with

our

dad And

we

actually

know

how

to

play

that,

So it’s

[00:07:28] Tripp Stewart: really fun.

and then also, every Monday, we would try to have breakfast. Or at least, if not Monday, we’d try to make it up sometime that week.

And just have breakfast and eat

as

a

family

together.

[00:07:43] Audrea and Mags: guys

Made me feel special. And, like, y’all guys

really

cared about making relationships

with us.

[00:07:49] Cash Stewart: Yeah,

I think it, uh, I think

it definitely helped our bond together, we weren’t just oh, you know, like we’re family but we don’t really hang

out,

but

it was

more

like,

we actually liked each other and we liked

talking with

each

other

and

hanging

out,

it’s like,

you become closer as a group of people, not only as

family

but

also

as

best

friends.

[00:08:11] Tripp Stewart: And another

thing

I’d

add

to

that is

just having consistency in one part our life. I don’t know for all pastor families, but at least for us, as

a replant.

No week was

the

same,

usually.

 every week brought something different. And just having that one thing to look forward to each week, that I knew would be there

every

week,

that brought,

some

things

stable.

Just

something

consistently

[00:08:38] JimBo Stewart: Yeah.

[00:08:38] Tripp Stewart: there.

[00:08:39] Audrea and Mags: I think

what

I

liked about it too is it felt like no matter what was going on at the church at that time, cause we

had some really amazing

times,

we

had some

really tough times, but I knew that I had the Lord and I knew that I had you guys and that really

was a blessing.

Yeah,

and for kids, like, you mean more to your parents than you’ll know until you kind

of

get older.

And so, like, whenever you get older, you think, oh, I remember that time. It was kind of rough, but I didn’t really understand it, but

I

knew

my

parents were

really

stressed out about

that. But what you don’t know is whenever on

those

special days

that

you have,

That’s what, like, that’s the time where they kind of forget about their worries, and they’re just like, I’m with

my

kids,

everything

is okay,

I

have

them.

So,

what I’m hearing you say too is like, it, it’s not just good for the kids, it’s also for the parents, just to enjoy each other,

and have that

moment

of

peace.

Yeah,

Yeah,

[00:09:40] JimBo Stewart: Yeah, get

home,

hang out,

hang

out

with

your

family,

make them some of

your best

friends.

I can remember many days

that were

really

stressful that I couldn’t wait to just get home and just hang out with some friends.

My family and my people And my kids what advice would you guys have for? the kids of

replant

pastors?

[00:10:02] Audrea and Mags: I’d say,

some

advice

for

the kids. You

are an example for

the

other

people in

the church. Now, does

that

mean

you have

to

be

perfect?

Absolutely

not.

But,

it

does mean, whatever you do, just know there’s

at least

one

pair

of eyes

that might

be

on you at the moment.

So,

is this what you want someone

new

to

the church

to

be

like,

Oh.

Like,

mom

with

theater says,

the play that you’re in right

now

is

the

audition

for

the next

show.

So, you’re

kind of showing them

what

it

would

be

like, so,

[00:10:46] Cash Stewart: And,

other kids, and even their parents are watching you to see if you would be respectable friends. And not

only

that,

but like,

actually

nice friends. But, You

don’t need to

stress about it. Because

we are not

made

to

be perfect.

Well,

we

are,

but then

we broke

that because of

sin.

So,

the

best

thing

you

can

do

is

just

believe in God and trust your parents and know that what they’re teaching you is probably

for the best.

They’re

not just

telling

you

to,

you know, go

to

church

and

dress

up

Nice.

Because

they want to and

they wanna annoy you

and stuff

the

other

people

in the

church

are

looking at you

but yeah. know. how the church might be

[00:11:34] Audrea and Mags: Yeah.

[00:11:35] Tripp Stewart: I

would say you also got to be a helping

hand.

I know there were many days when I, I remember when our janitor,

Well,

we

didn’t

[00:11:45] Cash Stewart: have

a

janitor

for

[00:11:46] Audrea and Mags: while.

yeah.

yeah, we were the

[00:11:48] Tripp Stewart: janitor. We became, yeah,

we

became

the

[00:11:51] Cash Stewart: janitor.

Yeah.

[00:11:53] Tripp Stewart: And

at

the time,

I

didn’t

enjoy it, but now I see why

it

was

necessary.

and then

also

it’s

helped me,

it’s

helped

me now.

once I’ve grown past this, like I know how

to

clean up different areas and how to push a broom and a vacuum and

just

do

the

stuff no one else wants to do. And that’s

helped

me

a

lot

in

my

life.

It’s

put

me

in

some

great

[00:12:20] JimBo Stewart: You’re telling me you didn’t love spending

Sunday

afternoons

[00:12:24] Cash Stewart: toilets

and sweeping and

[00:12:25] Audrea and Mags: bathroom? No. it

was

not

my

favorite

thing,

no.

I’d say

the worst

was the

toddler

bathrooms.

They were, like, there were some times where I couldn’t even

look

in

there.

Like,

I

took one glance

and walked away,

I

was

like,

someone

else

is cleaning

this.

[00:12:41] Tripp Stewart: I

was

[00:12:41] Cash Stewart: like,

[00:12:42] JimBo Stewart: no

[00:12:42] Cash Stewart: thank

you.

Yeah,

there’s some stories that we’re just not going to tell because

[00:12:46] JimBo Stewart: Alright,

we

don’t

have

to

tell those,

but I would love

to hear, like,

what was the most challenging

or

least

favorite

memory?

Like,

what

do

you

look

back

on,

and like,

that

was

the

worst?

[00:12:57] Cash Stewart: so I

probably

have

two things.

Alright,

One

of

them

was

about

a

toilet.

Ahem. So, whenever we were, like, about to leave the church,

I

remember in the preschool

bathroom,

the

toilet

was

filled

up

to

the

brim

with

cockroaches.

[00:13:15] JimBo Stewart: What?

[00:13:17] Audrea and Mags: Okay,

let

me

back

this up

there because

it

was

a wonderful

church.

It

was

It was

post

COVID.

Apparently

nobody had cleaned the bathroom the last Sunday that we were there and

then we go

back in post covid and so we were I had gone into the toddler bathroom right as we’re about

to

reopen

and I

was like,

oh

no

And

it

was

a

nightmare.

it

was

a horror

show Yeah,

so

I,

Yeah,

I

know.

I

I believe,

I cleaned

[00:13:43] Tripp Stewart: that

bathroom

that

[00:13:43] Audrea and Mags: time.

You did.

I took one

for

the team.

that was The COVID

cockroaches

I

took

that

for

I

feel like

I

should

get a

you

know

a

star on

[00:13:52] Cash Stewart: Hey, you get a gold medal. Yeah, you get one

for sure.

And my

other story was whenever I,

because

of

my

September

birthday, I’ve

always

been

a grade

behind.

So, whenever I was the age to move up to the first grade, and I was like, Yes, I get to go be up

with

the

regular kids,

I

get

to

be

in

the

hideout, which was our, uh, kids group. my mom said, No, you’re not old enough yet.

And

I

was

like,

What?

[00:14:16] JimBo Stewart: Oh.

[00:14:17] Cash Stewart: I

bawled

my eyes

out in kindergarten.

[00:14:19] Audrea and Mags: out in kindergarten.

Oh no,

that

was

actually

really fun.

[00:14:28] Cash Stewart: Yeah,

that

[00:14:29] JimBo Stewart: was.

Yeah,

so he was

[00:14:31] Audrea and Mags: at the

church.

I

was

the

only kid who didn’t go to Disney World,

for my

[00:14:37] Cash Stewart: who didn’t go to Disney World for my

[00:14:39] JimBo Stewart: Yeah, I was the only

kid who didn’t go to Disney my birthday.

That was

[00:14:47] Tripp Stewart: Well, no

one

really

put this pressure on

me, but

I’ve put pressure on myself to be perfect because

I

felt

like I

was

the

example.

And,

I think

the time

that

I

realized

the

most

I

was

not perfect

was

when

I

broke the

pre school window

[00:15:06] Audrea and Mags: Yes, yes.

[00:15:07] Cash Stewart: And

I

[00:15:08] Tripp Stewart: pick

up

a yo

yo

again

for

another

[00:15:10] Audrea and Mags: So,

explain that first, so the viewers listening may not understand.

[00:15:17] Tripp Stewart: So we were

all

given prizes in the hideout in the kids group and My prize was a yo yo and I was

so excited

because I’d earned that yo yo And

then

I

was trying

to

do

the

thing

where

you

throw

it

down

and

it

comes

back

up.

Yeah.

And then

I,

[00:15:32] Cash Stewart: yo

[00:15:33] Tripp Stewart: but

I was

standing

right

behind

the window where

the

preschool

was at

and all the

well, right in front

of the

window

where

the

preschoolers

were at

and

all

the

preschoolers were

behind

me too.

And so I threw it down and I pulled it up and it didn’t do the trick and it just swung

behind

me

and

smashed the

window.

[00:15:50] Cash Stewart: Yep.

[00:15:51] JimBo Stewart: Yeah.

[00:15:51] Audrea and Mags: so Ken, to be fair to you and your sweet little probably 8 year old self at the time, that was a mom moment that I did not handle well.

And I will just go ahead and publicly apologize to you for that. it was, that glass, I mean it was probably older than Jesus

at that

point. So, oops. It probably had

it coming,

honestly.

And I flipped out because I was worried, I think, what other people would say.

And

so I

probably overreacted

in

that moment.

So

sorry,

bud.

I remember

Tripp saving

up

cause he

had

to

pay for

it

by

himself.

And I

remember

him being

like,

like

after

I

was like,

Hey

Tripp, I need to

borrow some money.

He was

like, no,

I’m broke.

[00:16:31] JimBo Stewart: borrow

[00:16:33] Tripp Stewart: whole window. No, they

did not

[00:16:34] Audrea and Mags: No.

[00:16:35] Tripp Stewart: window. You did have to help, you had

to help

pay

some,

but

it

wasn’t much.

I mainly did, I mainly did community service hours.

At that time we were rebuilding the stage. So I was just there to help rebuild the stage. I think I did like about 10 hours and

that was over

a

couple, about

a

month.

they

handled

it well, but they also did

punish me for It

[00:16:54] JimBo Stewart: well, but they

also did

punish me for it.

[00:17:09] Tripp Stewart: for me, it was actually growing up with the church. So since I was one of

the first,

probably

one

of

the

first

members there,

I knew the entire story of the church and what everything looked like

beforehand

and

afterwards.

And

just growing up with the church and seeing how it had

grown

over

the

years was

probably one

of

my

favorite parts.

[00:17:32] Cash Stewart: So

personally,

my

favorite part

was

whenever

I

was

in

the hideout, third

or fourth

grade,

playing

hide and seek.

That

was

the

best part

because

I

knew

all

the best

hiding

spots

because I was

the pastor’s

kid.

So,

we, uh, always played hide

and seek

right, uh, either before

or after

church, I can’t remember, while the parents were talking or something. And we we had to stay in the, uh, first building with

the

sanctuary.

We

had to

go

and

hide

all around.

And

there

was one

place

that

was right behind the baptistry stairs.

That was the

best.

[00:18:06] Audrea and Mags: I remember

that

as well,

and it

was really

fun,

And I remember, like, watching everything, like, grow as well, as Tripp.

And

I

remember, like,

from

it

just

being

us,

like,

we

were the

only

kids.

To

becoming

like

filled with

people

and like Things like that

[00:18:28] JimBo Stewart: Alright,

Audrey,

what

about

you?

What would

be

your

favorite

memories?

[00:18:32] Audrea and Mags: think honestly,

just

how

much

we

grew

together

as

a family.

being

at

a

replant

is

hard.

It’s

hard work.

and

I really appreciated,

that

you

came home.

there

was

a

lot

of times

where,

I mean

the

work

is

just

never

done.

So

if

you’re

waiting

for it

to

get

done,

it’s not

going

to, So

you have

to

stop.

Yeah. The

fact

that

we came out of

our

replant

loving

Jesus,

and

loving

each

other as much as

we

did,

I

think

is a

true

testimony.

not

to

say

that

it

was easy.

Um,

and

not

to

say there wasn’t a

ton of hard work,

but

I really appreciated,

family times of us playing board

games

together or

Wednesday

night

movie nights or Monday morning breakfasts.

and then

we got

to see

some

just

really

cool movements

of

the

Lord.

We walked into, a

church situation where there’s about 40 people, mostly senior adults. And

our

kids

were

the

children’s

ministry

and, just

Easter Sunday mornings, just

seeing

a

room

full

of

people

or,

seeing,

a

kids choir, several VBSs. those

are just

beautiful moments and, and not just having

those

moments,

but

having

them

together

and

just

watching

our

kids

grow

alongside

of

It

was pretty

great.

[00:19:48] Cash Stewart: So

I have

a question

for Dad.

[00:19:50] JimBo Stewart: Oh, okay.

[00:19:51] Cash Stewart: So what was the

best

part

and

the

worst

part

about

having

kids

in

a

replant?

[00:19:57] JimBo Stewart: Hmm.

I

would say

the

best

part

was

getting

to

do

ministry with you guys.

being

in

a smaller church,

You guys were the janitors. the cleanup crew for, block

parties and

And

so

we

got

to do

all

sorts

of things

together.

And

that

was

a

ton

of fun

doing

it with

you,

having

you

be

a

part of

it.

[00:20:23] Audrea and Mags: What was

the

worst part?

[00:20:25] JimBo Stewart: The

worst part.

there

weren’t

many

moments, but there

were

a

couple

of

moments

[00:20:31] JimBo Stewart: some church members

decided to be very

ugly to

me

in front of

you.

there

were

several

moments where

people vented

frustrations and

things

like

that,

that

you

weren’t

around,

and

that, I’m

fine

with

that.

But

there were

a

few

moments

where

you

were right

there.

And

I

don’t know

if

y’all

remember

those

or not,

but

I

just

remember thinking,

man,

I,

really

didn’t want

you

guys

to

have to

see that part

of

ministry,

of

people

being

rude

to

dad.

But,

you

guys

always

handled

it

really

well.

They

[00:21:04] Audrea and Mags: I remember like, not what they said, but I remember like standing next to you, talking to you, and then like someone walking up and like saying something like in the nicest

way,

like

not

like

in the nicest way possible, but

in

the

nicest tone,

like

the

meanest

things.

And

I

just

remember

being

like,

that

was

rude.

Do

either

of

you

boys

remember

anything

like that or

Did

not even hit your radar.

[00:21:28] Tripp Stewart: Um, I think I remember that it

happened.

But,

nothing

much.

More

just,

I

knew

they

were

probably wrong.

[00:21:38] JimBo Stewart: Well,

[00:21:44] Audrea and Mags: be truthful, in

my head

I

was

like,

Anything

dad says

is

correct. And

[00:21:49] Cash Stewart: Yeah.

[00:21:51] Audrea and Mags: Well, just

to brag on you

three,

You guys

were

rock stars

during that

whole

time.

you

really were.

Just

bright moments,

and

I

hate at

any

point you

ever

felt

any

need

to

feel

perfect.

one

thing

I

loved

about

each

of

you

is like

you

were all just

a hundred percent yourself

all the

time. And

that’s

what

I

would

say

to

a

pastor’s

wife

or I’m

actually

a

pastor’s

kid. Myself

is

just

echoing

with, they say,

you’re

not

going

to

be

perfect.

And

sure,

people

are going

to

come in

and

think,

like,

Ooh,

what

is

this

church going

to

be

like?

But,

Pastor Wife, Pastor

Kid, just

be

yourself.

Because

you’re

the one that God called to that church.

Okay?

and you’re

going to

learn so much.

And

of

course

you

want to grow

in

the

Lord

and change.

But,

you

don’t know

who’s

walking

into that

church

and

they

need

Jesus,

but

they

also need

you.

So,

just

be

the

you

that

God’s

called

you to

be.

I have a

question

for

mom.

[00:22:46] JimBo Stewart: Okay.

[00:22:47] Audrea and Mags: What

is

the

most

difficult

or

like

the

hardest part

about

being

a pastor’s

wife?

Getting ready

on

Sunday

mornings. I

lose my

ever

loving

mind because,

you

know,

you,

sometimes

you

can feel like

a single mom.

[00:23:03] JimBo Stewart: especially

on

Sunday

[00:23:04] Audrea and Mags: mornings. Especially. you

are

a

single

mom on

Sunday mornings. Yeah, and again, you

guys were

2.

I,

Magnolia,

you ran

out

of

the

house

one

morning.

and I

didn’t

even

know

you were gone.

Like,

it was

real

bad.

I believe

whenever

I was

little, now

this

is an embarrassing

story of whenever

I

was

like 2. But

like, whenever

I

was

2 years

old, I, throw off my diaper and run around the neighborhood and knock on people’s doors and then run into their house.

And

it was Trim’s job

to

grab

me

from

people’s house cause mom was

trying

to

get

Cash

ready

for church.

Cause he didn’t you

have

And so mom was trying to get cash ready

and

Tripp

was chasing me

around

the neighborhood

and

I was running

in

people’s

house naked.

Mom

was

freaked out.

Tripp

was

freaked out.

Cash was mad. All of the things. Yeah. So yeah.

So trying to get all three of you ready, and ready to go on Sunday morning and then

get

there, Still

feeling

holy.

that’s

when

we

started the

Do You

See

the

Church

game.

[00:24:02] Cash Stewart: because, yeah. That

[00:24:05] Audrea and Mags: That was

my

favorite

game. Okay.

That’s

why I got

ready.

Yeah. so

instead

of me

yelling

at you and fussing

the

whole way

to church, I played this game where

We

said,

do

you

see

the church?

as soon

as we

drove up and

the

first

person

who

could

see

the church

would

win.

and

then

we

also started

the whole

where

have

you

seen

God

at work?

because

I figured

talking about Jesus

was a lot

better than,

Me stressed

out. So

yeah.

But

yeah, getting

getting you guys

ready

was

tough

[00:24:32] Cash Stewart: Hopefully

now

it’s

a

little easier.

[00:24:34] Audrea and Mags: Yeah.

Maybe I’m

not

running

through

the

neighborhood

anymore.

[00:24:38] JimBo Stewart: Alright,

so

we’re just about

out

of time,

but

I

wanted

to

hit

one more thing.

When

we talked

about

doing

this podcast

trip,

you

brought

something

up

When you were talking about don’t raise your kids to be pastor’s kids,

but

just

raising them to be

kids.

You

talked

about

how

the

core

values

that

we’ve

done

as

a family

have

been

really

helpful for

you.

[00:24:58] Tripp Stewart: for

me using

the

core values,

it

was

kind

of the

building block

for,

y’all

raising us.

So, whenever I wasn’t sure what to do, I would look back at our core values, which are respect, integrity,

self control,

and

joyfulness.

And look back like, am

I doing

those

things?

Am

I

following

what

I

was taught

to

do?

[00:25:24] Audrea and Mags: And with

the core values, respect,

self

control, and joyfulness,

No

one

can say,

well, you didn’t tell me

I

can’t

do

blah,

blah,

blah,

because

it’s

not following respect.

It’s not

following

self control.

Or maybe

it’s

not

following joyfulness.

Like,

all

these

things.

[00:25:39] JimBo Stewart: things. Yeah,

[00:25:40] Audrea and Mags: Yeah, there

aren’t

any

loopholes,

which does annoy me,

But, you know,

Magnolia is our loophole queen.

[00:25:46] JimBo Stewart: Definitely is our loophole queen. Yeah. Alright, it

Alright, so Any

final

thoughts you want to share

on the podcast

before

we

sign

off?

[00:25:56] Audrea and Mags: again

with

the

respect

and charity, self

control,

and

joyfulness

thing.

That I’d say is definitely important to any of the new parents like See if you can get that in there Like I had to memorize it and anytime

I got

in

trouble,

which i’m the one that

gets in

the most

trouble I’d have to go respect integrity self control

and

joyfulness.

So

what I hear

you’re saying is

you

want

to make sure

that

new

parents

maybe

create core

values

for

their

family.

[00:26:23] Cash Stewart: Yeah,

they

don’t

even

have

to

be

like the exact

same,

but

find

a

foundation

that

is

God

loving

and

honestly

just

what

you

think

a

family

should

emulate.

[00:26:35] Audrea and Mags: Yes.

[00:26:36] Tripp Stewart: And

also,

you

don’t have

to

be perfect.

Raise

your kids

to be

kids

you

want

them

to

be.

Don’t

raise them to be

the

pastor’s

kid.

Raise

them

to

be

your kids.

[00:26:50] Audrea and Mags: As

I

was

saying

earlier, raise them

to be

someone

you

want

to hang

out

with.

Not

someone

you

just

want

to

take care of.

[00:26:57] Cash Stewart: Yeah. Have fun with your kids.

Spend time with them Cause they do like you and they want to spend time with you

So.

[00:27:04] JimBo Stewart: It’s a good word

Any last words mama

[00:27:07] Audrea: I just love

you guys.

[00:27:08] JimBo Stewart: guys.

[00:27:09] Mags: Love you.

[00:27:09] Tripp Stewart: Love you too.

[00:27:11] Mags: Hi!
