This is an interview Gil had with Mike Anderson from Blended Family Breakthrough.

We hope you feel a little more equipped and encouraged after listening to this great conversation.

Here are the notes from Mike's podcast:

Hey Stepdads — ever wonder if you're "winning or losing" in your role at home?

Most stepdads I meet genuinely want to build trust with their stepkids and influence them toward success in life.  But sometimes it feels like there's a bit too much chaos in the home — or you're not quite on the same page with your wife.

The typical challenges of blending families often feel like they get in the way of you making the impact you really want to make.

I get that feeling, and so does Gil Stuart, our guest for this episode.  Gil is a dad and stepdad who has experienced the ups and downs of blending 7 kids along with his wife, Brenda.  Gil is a counselor, author, speaker, and down-to-earth guy.

If you want to discover new ways to build trust and influence in your home, this episode is for you.

You'll Discover:

• A healthy mindset around commitment, influence, trustability, and connection
• How to create emotional safety and avoid relational damage
• Understanding the 'Rock-and-A-Hard-Place' dilemma - and navigating it well
• The importance of unity and flexibility
• Practical tips for loving well in challenging situations
