She Told Me to Stop Having Kids... Then Changed Her Mind

Описание: A sweet Vietnamese lady at our church food table praised our family of five kids—then immediately warned us to stop. "That's enough now, right?" It's the question every large family hears. But years later, after our ninth child, she asked something completely different: "When is the next baby coming?"
What changed her heart? She watched our children at Mass, helping each other, praying together, going to adoration. She witnessed what we've discovered: children aren't burdens with a limit. They're gifts that multiply joy.
In this episode, we share the moment we realized we'd bought into a scarcity mindset about one of God's greatest gifts—and what happened when we chose abundance instead.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 ABOUT US
We're Nhan Dinh and An Tran, married for 17 years and parents of 11 children (9 on earth, 2 in heaven). We're building Raising Great Saints—a community for Catholic families who want to raise children of extraordinary virtue, not just kids who barely squeeze into heaven.
Our 9 children:
John Paul (16), Dominic (13), Damien (10), Lelia (9), Seraphina (8), Ambrose (6), Adelina (4), Zelie (2), Louis Martin (1)

📖 IN THIS EPISODE
The Question Everyone Asks:
"How many kids do you have?" followed immediately by "That's it, right? No more after this one?"
The Five-Second Realization:
We'd been taught that children are a burden with a limit—like a credit card you're about to max out. People don't ask "when's the next one?" They ask "you're stopping now, right?"
What Changed:
Years later, the same lady who warned us to stop asked when the next baby was coming. She'd watched our children grow in virtue, help each other, and live their faith. She witnessed firsthand that children multiply joy, not burden.
Mother Teresa's Wisdom:
"How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers."
