Today we are sharing an incredible conversation that we had with Ken Coleman and we are diving into the...

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...

Send us Fan Mail Feeling discouraged about where you’re at in life? We get it. We’ve been there. We are there.  Today we are back after an unexpected two week break, and we are diving right into our reflection about where we are in life.

Send us Fan Mail Living a life of purpose has become a super daunting, high pressure thing in today’s society. We’ve become so hyper focused on finding our “passions” and not getting it wrong that we forget to keep living.

Send us Fan Mail Ever made a to-do list on a piece of paper, and then lost the paper? Communication, organization, and being on the same page are all things Corey and I have struggled through. Over the last several years, we have tried to implement tools to help us with all of those things, but sometimes the tools that people “sell” are cumbersome and don’t stick. We are all about simple. The simp...

Jeff recognized early on that the majority of people are living for the weekend and he was determined to create a company culture that allowed his team to not just live Frid...

Send us Fan Mail When you are in the thick of it it is hard to see how God is orchestrating your life. How would you think someone who graduated highschool with a 2.0 GPA would turn out? What about someone who cleaned windows and hung out with people who worked all day and drank all night? Someone who joined the military on a whim? What about after the military, someone who struggled with addictio...

Send us Fan Mail What are your conversations like with your kids? If you are anything like us, they go something like this: Us: “How was your day?” Kid: “Good.” Us: “What did you do?” Kid: “Played.” or “Learned.” or “I don’t remember.” LAME… We saw this as a problem, and wanted to develop a deeper relationship with them. Get to know them better. Make them feel comfortable talking to us about anyth...

Send us Fan Mail In today’s world, where being a man or a woman is controversial, what true masculinity and femininity were created to be, can be confusing. Today we focus mostly on masculinity, but do discuss femininity as well. As God created them to be.   As I am writing this, I am thinking, “I hope this doesn’t offend anyone”. Then I caught myself, and said, “What are you talking about?” It is...

Send us Fan Mail Life is busy and sometimes chaotic! At the end of the day or the week, have you ever said “What just happened? The house is a mess, the car is a mess, I have nothing clean to wear, and I have no idea what any of us are doing this week?!” I know we have. The day or week blew by and we were super reactive to everything that came at us.    In this episode, we discuss 5 ways that have...

Send us Fan Mail Are we living in a houseboat? Moving to Sri Lanka? Moving back to SoCal? Nashville anyone? Living in an RV? Or Staying in Ohio?   We have not had clarity on what is next for us for quite some time. Over the past thirty days we have realized that we have been seeking God’s direction on a surface level. We decided to double down and dive deep with Him. All the while keeping all opti...

Send us Fan Mail You guys are lucky today’s episode even exists, because if I (Bethany) had caved into my selfish desires, I’d have cancelled this interview and used this hour with today’s guests all to ourselves for some one-on-one coaching!     Today on the show, we have Jimmy and Kristin Scroggins from Family Church. These two are a power couple Corey and I wouldn’t mind being a little more lik...
