A Force To Be Reckoned With

Send us Fan Mail A reminder we are telling ourselves daily: God has given us this family on purpose, and when we feel unequipped, we can bring that to Jesus instead of pretending we have it all together.  If you’re raising kids and trying to set healthy boundaries without losing connection, hit play, share this with a parent friend, and leave a review so more families can find it. What boundary ar...

Send us Fan Mail If Ezekiel walked into your life and asked, “Can these bones live?”, what would you say? We sit with one of the most haunting scenes in Scripture, Ezekiel 37 and the Valley of Dry Bones. If you feel discouraged or far from God, hear this clearly: He’s not asking you to fake it, He’s inviting you to come back and let Him breathe life into you again.

Send us Fan Mail Comfort is everywhere now, and it is doing more parenting than we want to admit. We start with an example of a simple moment that says a lot: kids who think a “walk” means riding in a luxury wagon with snacks, music, and a canopy. It is funny, but it also raises a serious question for modern parenting: are we removing the very discomfort that builds resilience, character, and conf...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! This week, we are recapping after Bethany's second marathon. She is sharing what she's learned along her running journey and sharing some breaking news. 

Send us Fan Mail We sat down with Tim Timmons to talk about I Can Only Imagine 2 , some behind-the-scenes moments, and his new book Waking Up Again . But more than anything, this conversation is about what it looks like to actually live with purpose. From his cancer diagnosis to the everyday realities of faith and family, Tim shares what really matters and why we shouldn’t wait to start living ful...

Send us Fan Mail We recorded this one late at night, which means we’re too tired for a heavy topic and way more honest than usual. This week we are sharing a “coffee conversation” we all say we want: the questions that cut through small talk and get to what’s actually happening in our lives at home. We talk about what’s been quietly overwhelming, why stepping back from social media has helped our...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we dive deep into the reality of modern parenting—how it can strain your marriage, test your patience, and challenge your faith. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected from your spouse, or unsure how to raise your kids with intention, this video is for you. We talk about the shift from just surviving to truly thriving as a family, why intentional parenting matter...

Send us Fan Mail The fastest route isn’t always the safest route and sometimes the “detour” is where God does His best work. We’re unpacking the Exodus story where God leads the Israelites away from the main road and straight into a moment that looks impossible: Pharaoh’s army behind them and the Red Sea in front of them. If you’ve ever wondered why life feels harder than it needs to be, this conv...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Lindsey Maestas joins us to unpack why long-term relationship success isn’t automatic, how the romantic ideal can quietly sabotage real life, and why many marriages don’t collapse in one explosive moment—but slowly, over time. We talk about the small choices, subtle shifts, and daily habits that shape a marriage far more than the big moments. If you’ve ever felt the ten...

Send us Fan Mail Marriage teaches you a lot—sometimes the hard way, sometimes in ways that make you laugh later. This week Corey and I celebrated 14 years of marriage , so we decided to hit record and share the first 14 lessons that came to mind . They’re honest, a little off-the-cuff, and definitely real life. Some might make you nod your head in agreement… others might make you think we’re compl...

Send us Fan Mail If your home feels loud but strangely disconnected, you’re not imagining it. This week, we are unpacking six quiet forces that pull families apart—distraction, unending busyness, thin faith rhythms, isolation, marriage silence, and digital traps—and we offer simple, durable ways to push back. From dismantling the myth of multitasking to practicing a real Sabbath, we share how smal...

Send us Fan Mail Who is “Dave,” you ask? And why are we cheersing to him?  Honestly… we’re not quite sure. He may be real. He may be a metaphor. We’ll let you decide. This week, we’re going completely off-script and having some fun — talking about things like why Christians should actually be fun, our thoughts on random cliché quotes, and marriage green flags (which Bethany may or may not fully un...

Send us Fan Mail Ever feel that tug-of-war between wanting to open your home and also just wanting a quiet, clean space? Us too. Summer has this way of stirring things up — kids are out of school, the backyard suddenly becomes the neighborhood hotspot, and somehow your house turns into the unofficial sleepover headquarters. So how do we prepare our homes and hearts for hospitality? In this episode...

Send us Fan Mail When is the last time you have invited someone into your home to sit down and dive into the parts of life that go deeper than everyday conversation? If this isn’t something that you do, or have done recently, what’s holding you back? Is it space? Is it clutter? Is it fear of what people might see when you let your walls down? For me, at one point or another it’s been all of those...
