In this episode Rachel shares some of the things that the uncertainty of pandemic life has taught her, like it's ok to say "I don't know", that she is secure because she is so loved by God, and how to slow down and enjoy the moment, even when she doesn't have everything figured out.

This episode is a little different! It's just me, Chelsea, and I am sharing some fun things we're going to do on EQUIP this summer, and I am also sharing a little update about where I am at the moment.

Jon shares about some things he’s holding in tension in this season. Yeses and no’s. Patience and boundaries. Growth and grace. Looking for encouragement and acknowledging that sometimes it’s hard to find.

Jackie talks about ways that she is learning to lean into community, whether by asking for help, watching God move in her friends, or by engaging in the hard stuff.

Sarah Moody shares some things she's learning about in this season, and also some joy and enjoyment she's found in her kids and in some new traditions they've taken on as a family.

Tabitha shares how she treasures her children and views motherhood as a tremendous gift-- even when it's hard. She also shares about learning what to hold on to, what to let go, and what noise to tune out.

We are living in polarized times, and be it family, friends, coworkers, neighbors or people you don't know on social media, you're not going to agree with everyone. But it is possible to disagree well, and Melissa walks us through some things she's learned that are super practical and particularly relevant to this season we're all in.

Heather shares her experience in small groups and how that has shaped her life.

Lisa Kutzley talks about her experience working for a school and suggests ways we can be supportive for those who are working in our school systems right now.

Kelsey shares about what the church is, the impact that being a part of the church has had on her life, and how to engage in the church right now (meaning, in the middle of a pandemic).

Chelsea talks about how intimacy with God changed the way she saw prayer, and the ways it is currently a part of her life and her family's life.

Jason talks about his current process with Faithwalking/Emotionally Focused and fruit that he has seen from that.

Barbie talks about how she has used her creativity gifting to bring magic into the mundane of day to day routine during the pandemic. She also shares some of the good she has seen come about in her family as a result of the pandemic.

Jill Hayes shares her story of reading the bible through different seasons, and her motivations for doing so. She also shares about how this is an important part of her modeling the behavior she'd love to see reproduced in her kids.

Phillip shares about his story of going from touring as a music artist to staying at home with his kids full time, and some things he has learned along the way. We also talk about how Phillip sees his role in intentionally being present to God's activity in him and his family's day to day life and guiding his kids to see it too!

Doug and Linda explore how to maintain a healthy perspective when raising kids through potentially discouraging and difficult circumstances.
