In this episode of The Weekend Joyride, Mac and Rhoni reflect on paying attention — to creation, to patterns that repeat, and to the quiet ways God gets our attention.

They’re joined by Kayla Nolan, owner of Mulberry Drive in downtown Marble Falls, who shares a powerful story of obedience, faith, and opening a business without having all the answers. The conversation centers on courage, calling, and choosing obedience over certainty.

The episode wraps with a couple of easy weekend food stops worth knowing — because sometimes clarity comes when you get out of the house and go somewhere familiar.

In this episode of The Weekend Joyride, we wrap up Finding Favor with the King by Tommy Tenney, reflecting on what it means to live with God’s presence as a way of life—not just a moment.

We talk about learning the rhythms of God’s house, why silence can be the highest form of honor, and how intimacy with God shapes trust, confidence, and peace. We also frame worship music that echoes the story of Esther and the language of nearness, and explore a personality type many people don’t realize they are—ambivert—sitting somewhere between introvert and extrovert.

As we step into 2026, this episode invites you to slow down, listen more deeply, and settle into a faith that’s grounded, relational, and secure.

Join Mac and Rhoni on this week’s Weekend Joyride as they continue their journey through Finding Favor With the King and explore what it truly means to walk in favor. Esther’s inner court posture — humility, surrender, and waiting for the extended scepter — becomes a powerful picture of how God invites us closer today.

Then the Joyride shifts to a fun and heartfelt look at holiday pets and family chaos, topped with a moving story about a lost dog in Lampasas and the unexpected way God brought her home. It’s a reminder that He cares deeply about the small things we love.

Finally, Mac and Rhoni take you on location to Follow the Star in Cedar Park — an immersive walk-through of the life of Jesus. You’ll hear reactions from attendees, stories from event leaders, and conversations with the team behind Generous Java and Joy512. It’s worship, community, and Christmas wonder all wrapped together.
