Send us Fan Mail Today we are sharing part 2 of our Unexpected series. Brooke Karmie has worked in the pro-life space for nearly 5 years and currently works at a pregnancy center in Cleveland, Ohio.

Send us Fan Mail This week we are talking about all kinds of things, including a challenge that Corey gave me (Bethany): spelling supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. No, but really, today we are talking about priorities, attitude, and how to get yourself out of a funk. We hope you enjoy today’s episode. Make sure you’re following our show because next week we are starting an amazing series you won...

Send us Fan Mail One of the best things about having kids is that we often need to be reminded of the lessons we teach them. This week I (Bethany) am sharing about a lesson that I was walking Carter through, and it spurred me on to this episode idea. We all know that words can be powerful, but we forget how much control we have over the quality of words we consume. Today we are diving into that, t...

Send us Fan Mail Today on the show, we are talking about rest with the lovely Melanie Redd. Melanie is an author, speaker, wife, and mom, and it was such a pleasure having her on the show.

Melanie has been a writer for a long time, and it’s also something she navigated while ra...

While taking breaks in nothing new aro...

Send us Fan Mail Earlier this year, we talked about how we were working on living more intentionally and slowing down. Rest is not something that comes easily to either of us. We had a goal to read "To Hell With the Hustle" and "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry," and we asked you to read alongside us. Well, we are finally recapping all of that today. Listen in to hear our thou...

Send us Fan Mail Can we just stop taking life so ding dang seriously!? Ding dang - it’s a thing…not made up and not stolen from anyone else…and Corey will definitely be adopting this phrase in the near future. Perhaps the last two years, life has made us all just a little more uptight and overwhelmed - it seems now more than ever. But to the Overthinker, Billy Buzzkill, Negative Nancy, and Debby D...

Send us Fan Mail Today we are sharing the final episode diving into our clothing collection with Reignn Outfitters. We are talking about the meaning behind the “If not me, who?” shirt.

Send us Fan Mail We are wrapping up the Rooted Series this week with Part 5 and talking about how being rooted in all of the things we’ve touched on in Parts 1-4 impacts our specific family unit. We’ve chatted faith and friendships and real-life and community…so what does all of that mean for our family and how does being rooted in those things change the way we live our daily lives? There is so m...

Send us Fan Mail You all have probably heard the idiom “Blood is thicker than water” and most of us know it to mean that familial or blood-related relationships are stronger than non-familial relationships. On today’s episode, we discuss its original meaning and how it is exactly opposite of how most people use it. The original saying is actually, "Blood of the covenant is thicker than water...

Send us Fan Mail This episode in the Rooted series is a topic I’ve been wanting to tackle for a while. I’ve been wrestling through this episode because I wanted to ensure that I’m coming at it from the right angle, with the right heart. So far in this series, we’ve chatted about being rooted in faith and we’ve chatted about being rooted in friendship…today I want to talk with you about what it loo...

Send us Fan Mail Lisa and Alli are back with me this week for Part 2 of our Rooted series, and I’m just so excited for this week’s episode because we are talking about such a fun but important topic - friendship! I thought that I knew what friendship was…which sounds so corny…but the impact of deep-rooted friendships in our lives has brought so much more meaning, and we are sharing all about that...

Send us Fan Mail Would you describe yourself or your family as rooted? In your faith? In friendships? In your community?  In today’s episode, we are kicking off a new series that I’ve been thinking about and praying about for quite some time. Over the last two years especially, Corey and I have noticed the lack of connection that the Millennial generation culture has as a whole. It’s something we,...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever gone through a difficult season and wished it never happened? Life is beautiful, but it can also be full of days of discouragement and trials. If facing difficulty is something you can resonate with, you will undoubtedly find encouragement through today’s episode. This week, we are sharing a conversation with our friend Stephanie Byler.

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever found yourself avoiding joy because of fear of the letdown when something bad comes along? I thought I was the only one who felt this way for a long time. I found myself in the middle of a good day, thinking, “Something bad must be coming. Things are too good to be true.”  And then, one day, I received a book in the mail called, “What if it’s Wonderful.” The descript...

Send us Fan Mail Today we are talking about cancel culture and censorship—two things that are hot topics right now. But just to be clear, we aren’t diving into these topics because they are “buzzy” but because if we don’t start taking steps in the right direction when it comes to them, our future freedoms will be in a world of hurt. As you listen to this episode, we hope you keep in mind that thes...

Send us Fan Mail Has anyone else been feeling like they have been running on all cylinders and about ready to combust? What the heck is causing it?

Send us Fan Mail The last two years have been packed full of changes, obstacles, and trials.  In addition to everyday challenges, we’ve all dealt with COVID, cancel culture (more to come on that), and all kinds of crazy stuff. All of this has forced us to adjust more times than we’d like to, and if you’re anything like us you’ve felt unsettled in a lot of ways. Today, we are talking about the unre...
