It’ll Always Be Fun with Brooke and Miranda

Different doesn’t mean less. In this special Autism Awareness Month Monday Minute, Cayla Adkins shares what she’s learned from parenting a child on the spectrum—and how autism is not something to be “fixed,” but understood. Through honesty, advocacy, and a mother’s love, Cayla reminds us that every child deserves to be seen for who they are, not just what makes them different. Plus, hear a special...

This week, our boys take over the mic one last time to finish telling the Easter story through their eyes—and honestly, there’s something really special about hearing these moments through a child’s voice. From the cross to the empty tomb, they remind us that Easter isn’t just about sadness or loss… it’s about hope, love, and the fact that what looked like the end was really just the beginning. Th...

Good Friday looks a little different on the podcast this week. ✝️ Instead of our normal Friday episode, we handed the mic over to our ten-year-olds and let them walk through the story of Good Friday in their own words. From the last supper… to the garden… to the arrest, trial, and cross… each child shares a piece of the story and ends with a question. Questions like: “Why do you think He stayed… e...

Worship isn't just Sunday. In fact, some of the most sacred moments don’t look spiritual at all… 🤍 They look like: early mornings ☀️ messy homes 🧺 long days ☕ and showing up when no one sees ❤️‍🩹 In today’s Monday Minute, Alli Eastman reminds us that God is in all of it. Nothing is wasted when it’s done for Him. ✨ Worship isn’t just the song you sing… …it’s the life you live when the music st...

Ever feel like your brain just won’t stop trying to figure everything out? In this Monday Minute, hear a real and honest reflection on anxiety, overthinking, and the pressure to understand every situation—and the freedom that comes when we realize we don’t have to. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5 Faith isn’t about having all the answer...

“If you are the Son of God…” That’s how the enemy begins. In Matthew 4:3–4, Jesus is tempted in the wilderness—not just with hunger, but with the subtle pressure to prove who He is. To perform. To validate His identity. To turn stones into bread and show His power. But Jesus doesn’t take the bait. Instead, He responds with truth: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes fro...

In this week’s Monday Minute, our friend, Sam Leaphart shares a powerful reminder about the redeeming heart of God. We all have parts of our story that feel messy, painful, or unfinished. Moments we wish had gone differently or seasons that seem wasted. But the beautiful truth of the gospel is that nothing in our lives is beyond God’s ability to redeem. Through His grace, God takes broken places a...

Sometimes the most faithful thing you can do… is leave. In this week’s episode of Holy NO!, Brooke and Miranda wrestle with the uncomfortable truth that staying isn’t always the spiritual choice. Sometimes faithfulness to God requires the courage to step away from something people expect you to remain in. In Mark 1:38, when people were looking for Jesus and hoping He would stay, He told His discip...

In this Monday Minute, Alli Eastman shares an encouraging reminder for anyone who serves God in visible ways — whether that’s in ministry, leadership, or simply loving people in everyday life. If you’ve ever felt the quiet pressure to do it right… to be enough… to live up to what others see in you… you’re not alone. Insecurity can creep in even when our hearts are fully devoted to honoring God. Bu...

In this week’s episode of the Holy NO! series, Brooke and Miranda explore a quiet but powerful moment in the life of Jesus: “But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.” — Luke 5:16 In the middle of growing crowds, rising expectations, and people constantly needing something from Him, Jesus didn’t pause to explain why He stepped away. He simply did what was necessary to stay connected t...

In this special Monday Minute, 10-year-old Lachlan shares from his own heart about something many kids (and adults) understand — the fear of being alone. Using Deuteronomy 31:6, he reminds us of God’s powerful promise: “He will never leave you nor forsake you.” When fear creeps in at night, when the house feels too quiet, or when life feels uncertain, it can be easy to forget that we’re never trul...

Forgiveness is one of the most beautiful commands Jesus gives us… but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Brooke and Miranda talk about the difference between forgiveness and access — and why releasing someone doesn’t always mean welcoming them back into the same space they once occupied. Using John 2:24, we look at the example of Jesus Himself, who loved people deeply, forga...

A year ago, we pressed record for the very first time. We didn’t have everything figured out. We didn’t know who would listen. We just knew we wanted to create a space where people could laugh, feel understood, and grow in their faith alongside us. And somehow… here we are. One year of showing up. One year of conversations that were sometimes light and sometimes really hard. One year of friendship...

In this powerful Monday Minute, Leah shares the story of Esther — a young woman placed in an unexpected position for a divine purpose. Facing fear, uncertainty, and enormous risk, Esther had a choice: stay safe or step forward in faith. Through Esther’s story, Leah reminds us that God often calls ordinary people into extraordinary moments. We may not feel ready. We may not feel brave. But obedienc...

Healing is beautiful. Growth is sacred. Forgiveness matters. But healing does not automatically mean someone gets continued access to your life. In this first episode of our Holy No series, we’re talking about the difference between personal healing and relational boundaries — and why those two things are often confused. So many of us have been taught that if we’ve grown, forgiven, or moved forwar...

This week on Monday Minute, Sarah Blankenship shares a powerful reminder from Galatians 6:9 — growth doesn’t happen faster just because we want it to. No amount of hovering, checking, or prodding will speed up the process. Some of the deepest work God does in our lives happens underground, where we can’t see it yet. Roots are forming. Strength is developing. Foundations are being established. If t...

Friendship in your 30s and 40s looks a little different than it did in middle school — and honestly? It’s deeper, messier, and more sacred. This week we’re joined by BFFs Alli Eastman and Hannah Curry to talk about the kind of friendship that survives sticky car seats, mental health days, busy seasons, and the ups and downs of real life. The kind where kids are loud, cars are messy, texts go unans...

Sarah Blankenship is back with us for this week’s Monday Minute, and she’s reminding us of something we so easily forget: the small things matter. In Luke 16:10, Jesus says, “Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much.” And sometimes that “very little” looks like pulling weeds, washing dishes, folding laundry, tending a garden, feeding animals, or showing up for ordinary chores wh...

Our sweet friend Cayla Adkins is back to continue part two of her story — sharing how God has never left her side, even in the hardest seasons. She opens up about the courage it takes to reach out and ask for help, how faith, family, and friendships have carried her, and practical ways to accept support when it’s difficult. We also reflect on the truth that we are chosen and called (1 Peter 2:9) —...

Our dear friend, Sarah Blankenship joins us for today’s Monday Minute, and she's talking about the truth that rest isn’t laziness—it’s obedience, trust, and wisdom. Rest is part of the work God is doing in us, because we were never mea...

In part one of this conversation, we sit down with our dear friend Cayla Adkins—a mom of four, a special needs mom, a special education teacher, a basketball coach, and a woman who has walked through divorce and seen the faithfulness of God firsthand. We talk honestly about the grief that can c...

Waiting can feel uncomfortable—especially when we’re tempted to push, fix, or force outcomes just to ease the tension. In this Monday Minute, we talk about the difference between faithful waiting and anxious striving, and how trust sometimes looks like restraint. Psalm 27:14 encourages us to wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Waiting isn’t passive or powerless—it’s...

Spiritual growth isn’t only about what we believe—it’s also about how we remain present, calm, and grounded when life feels overwhelming. In this Monday Minute, we talk about how staying regulated isn’t weakness or avoidance; it’s deeply spiritual work. Psalm 46:10 invites us to be still and know that I am God. That stillness isn’t passive—it’s an intentional practice of trust. Choosing to slow yo...
