    Clean Your Side of the Street: Conflict, Forgiveness, and Unity
    Aug 19 2025
    Sometimes reconciliation feels like building a seven-mile bridge—messy, exhausting, and not at all glamorous. But it’s worth it. In this episode, we talk about navigating everyday disagreements in healthy relationships, how the fruits of the Spirit can guide us, and why Jesus’ breakfast on the beach with Peter changes everything about how we approach brokenness.

  • Goodbye for Now: Trusting God as Our Children Grow and Go

    Goodbye for Now: Trusting God as Our Children Grow and Go
    Aug 12 2025
    From first-day drop-offs to empty nests, every parent faces the bittersweet moments of letting go. This week, Jackie and Christi talk about sending kids into the next season—whether it’s kindergarten, college, marriage, or beyond—and the mix of joy, longing, and faith that comes with it. With stories of backpacks and breakfast lines, college goodbyes and grandbaby daycare tears, they reflect on what it means to prepare our children well, release them in love, and trust God to hold them when they’re out of our reach. Because the truth is, the best thing we can say isn’t “Don’t grow up”… it’s “Thanks be to God, I get to watch you grow up.”

  • You're Worth the Yes: Letting Go of False Humility

    You're Worth the Yes: Letting Go of False Humility
    Aug 5 2025
    Hey, friend. Pull up a chair. This one’s personal. Today, we’re talking about false humility. You know, that sneaky kind of pride that whispers, “Not me. I could never.” But what if the bigger fear isn’t that you’re not enough ... but that you are? What if God is actually saying yes to that big, bold ask, and you're the one brushing Him off? In this solo episode, I get honest about the tension between confidence and arrogance, the difference between humility and self-erasure, and the quiet pride that keeps us from believing we’re worth the yes. We’ll take a deep dive into Colossians 2:23 and the kind of trust it takes to believe that God actually does call and equip us for the good, hard, holy work ahead. Whether you're facing a big ask, chasing a BHAG, or just trying to believe that your voice matters—this one's for you.

    When the Zebra Is Real: Trusting God in Worst-Case Moments
    Jul 29 2025
    We had other plans for this episode, but deep water showed up, and we followed it. It started with a small spot on the skin and spiraled into the age-old spiral—what if it’s worst-case? Maybe you know that spiral too. Jackie and Christi wrestle with fear, faith, and the temptation to always look for the zebra when it might just be a horse. But what happens when it is a zebra? From medical scares to life’s big unknowns, this episode dives into how we trust God in the not-yets, the what-ifs, and the hard truths. By His stripes, we are healed—even on the back of a zebra. Saddle up. Jesus is with us in it all.

From bible verses to travel baseball, from perfectionism to God’s steady grace, this is a soul-level conversation about honesty, priorities, and the holy pause we all need.We don’t have to carry it all.

    How does God gently redirect us when we’re chasing all the wrong things? Let’s talk about the Father’s
    patience as we fumble through life grabbing at sticks when He’s offering us better.

Our pets, in their innocent wisdom, often overlook the abundance around them in favor of something unexpected and simple.

We share stories of how stepping back from life's relentless chase has provided us with clarity and renewal in our spiritual paths. By accepting the inheritance God has planned for us, we can find true joy and fulfillment beyond the demands of worldly pursuits. Our heartfelt conversation encourages a life aligned with divine promises, where simplicity and introspection unveil the beauty of using our gifts for a greater purpose, bringing us closer to a harmonious life with God.

    What happens when God calls us to simple acts of obedience, like paying for someone’s coffee? How
    do these seemingly small acts reveal our faith in action?


    Picture this: you're at your favorite café, and you suddenly feel a nudge to buy a coffee for the stranger behind you. It sounds simple, right?

Join us in our cozy corner of "Deep Water," where faith and coffee intertwine, as we share how these everyday moments can draw us closer to God and each other. Through personal stories, we shed light on how these little acts of obedience can ripple outwards, spreading love and grace in astonishing ways.

    As we navigate through life's tides, we also explore the profound influence of storytelling, particularly the timeless narratives found in the Bible. These stories guide us in living out our faith with intention and humility, reminding us of the joy that comes with selfless service. Together, we unpack the power of acting on divine guidance and how it transforms lives, including our own, reinforcing the idea that faith without action is incomplete. With practical insights and heartfelt reflections, we invite you to be part of this ongoing story, one where even the smallest act of kindness can have a significant impact. Come, sip some coffee with us, and discover the divine storyteller at work in your life.
