Our Origin Story
Early Denison, Matthew Housson and Andy Stoker are dads - as well as a pediatrician, child psychologist and pastor. In their work, they’ve spent years nurturing the minds, bodies and spirits of young people. Yet with the recent increase in reports of anxiety and depression among young people, they noticed families needed elevated levels of support. To help as many as possible, they launched a podcast - joining their 60+ years of combined experience in serving children and families together with advice from experts across the country.
