In this episode, we share the story behind a surprising decision— selling our “forever home” we built just three years ago. What led us here were two convictions: a desire for financial freedom and a call to obey God’s leading, even when it didn’t make sense. We’ll unpack (all of) the emotions surrounding the decision, the overwhelming peace God has given us along the way, and what it means to trust Him in the middle of the story. We hope that you’ll be encouraged to listen closely to His voice— even when His leading feels uncomfortable or unexpected.

In this episode, we reflect on the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk, reminding us how fragile life is and why we must not take a single day for granted. We explore what it means to live with a grateful heart— through birthdays, aging, hardship, and the everyday blessings we often overlook. Grounded in Scripture and personal stories, we share how gratitude fosters contentment, reshapes perspective, and deepens our trust in God’s goodness.

In this episode, we unpack the true meaning of hospitality— not just hosting guests in our homes, but living with a posture that sees and values others. We explore the tension between convenient, planned opportunities for hospitality and the everyday interruptions that invite us to slow down, sacrifice, and pour into others, even when it feels inconvenient. Through personal stories, biblical examples, and practical takeaways, we hope that you'll be encouraged to reframe "inconveniences" as divine appointments and discover simple ways to make others feel seen, valued, and loved.

Walking through senior year as a parent is a mix of joy, sadness, pride, and release. In this episode, we share what we learned when our oldest graduated high school a couple years ago and how we're approaching it again with our second son.

Senior year goes by fast— don't let the busyness rob you of the wonderful moments! (Now, grab Eric a tissue.)

In a follow-up to last week's interview with our college-aged son, we're taking a parent's perspective on alcohol. From our family backgrounds to the way we now (try to!) model healthy habits, we share biblical wisdom and some practical tools for guiding teens through a culture where drinking is common. We talk about setting clear boundaries, keeping open communication, and preparing our kids for the real-world pressures they'll face. We hope this episode will encourage parents to approach this subject with wisdom, honesty, and love.

Parents, cover your ears—this one's for the kids! Well...not exactly, but we are handing the mic to our oldest son for part two of the "Sending a Kid Off to College" series. He shares what it was like stepping onto campus for the first time, the importance of putting yourself out there, and how to actually enjoy the adventure while figuring out how to balance it all. From meeting new friends to learning to live away from his (tearful) parents, his perspective is honest, funny, and real. If you've got a kid about to launch—or you just want to peek inside what they're thinking—this conversation is for you!

We’re kicking off a special two-part episode all about sending a kid off to college— stories from both sides! In Part 1, we share our perspective as parents on the emotions of letting go, the challenge of trusting God with your college-aged child’s well-being and future, and the beauty (and heartbreak) of giving them space to grow on their own. It’s heartfelt, it’s funny, and the tears? Some are from sadness, some are from laughing. At least once, you may find yourself thinking, “I’m not crying…are you?”
