Send us Fan Mail What if following Jesus means shifting our focus from religion to a real relationship? In John 4, Jesus intentionally meets a woman at a well. He talks with her, listens to her, crosses cultural and religious barriers, and refuses to reduce her to her choices. He doesn’t give her more religious junk. He gives her Himself. And that encounter changes her so much that she begins shar...

In this episode, Reyn actually hosts me and asks me questions about faith and motherhood. It’s such a sweet and honest conversation to have with my girl. What I keep realizing in this journey is that so much of motherhood is really about me learning to let God parent me through the unknown. Learning to let Him lead me, correct me, and shape me while I’m trying to do the same for my girls. Stay tun...

In this episode, we’re looking at John 1, where Jesus asks a simple question: “What do you want?” Before the disciples were fully committed… before they understood who He really was… they were just curious. They followed at a distance, wondering if there might be more. And Jesus turned to them with a question that still meets us today. No matter where we are on the journey with Him, He is inviting...
