Start With Sorrow with Eli Bonilla

Rashawn and Denisse Copeland host Faith and Familia from a place of hard-won understanding. Their own childhoods were marked by dysfunction and pain, leaving them hesitant to start a family, fearing they might repeat the cycles they knew. A transformative mentorship with a couple deeply rooted in their Christian faith showed them a different path-one where scripture and devotion could shape a loving, secure home. This podcast is the fruit of that journey, a space where they explore the tangible intersection of spiritual belief and daily family life. Each conversation delves into the real questions and challenges of building a household centered on faith, offering neither perfect formulas nor easy answers, but honest reflection drawn from their personal stories and biblical principles. You’ll hear discussions on navigating marriage, parenting with intention, healing from past wounds, and cultivating a home environment that reflects their values. It’s a resource for anyone curious about how a grounded spiritual practice can transform familial relationships, meeting the messiness of life with grace and practical wisdom. Tune into this podcast for candid dialogues that feel more like a conversation with trusted friends who have been there, committed to building something new and hopeful from the fragments of the past.
