Parentally Unprepared

Parentally Unprepared

This week on Trial, Error and Tiny Humans, Alicia and Melissa admit what we’re all thinking — does anyone really feel ready for parenthood? From IKEA-level confusion to unexpected lessons in faith, the duo laughs through the moments that make us question our “readiness” and digs into how God equips us right in the middle of the mess. With 1 Kings 3:7–9 as their anchor, they explore wisdom, comparison, and finding peace in being “just ready enough.”

Dreaming of Little Feet

In Episode 2 of Trial, Error, and Tiny Humans, Alicia and Melissa share the heart behind their desire to become parents and how their faith continues to guide that journey. They open up about the ways their own parents shaped their understanding of love, discipline, and family—both through inspiring examples and teachable moments. The hosts discuss the balance between honoring their upbringing and creating new traditions that reflect who they are today. With warmth and humor, they explore how God often uses our family stories to prepare us for future generations. The episode invites listeners to reflect on how their past experiences influence the kind of parents they hope to become.

With warmth, laughter, and a good dose of honesty, they talk about the lessons they’re learning now — before tiny humans enter the picture — and how they’re preparing their hearts and minds to nurture future families built on faith, grace, and growth.
