Together, we talk about trusting God's timing, walking through difficult seasons, building a Christ-centered marriage, raising children with purpose, and learning...

This episode is extra special — we’re sitting down with family for the start of a new Couples Series , and it’s one of the most honest, life-giving conversations we’ve had. We talk about marriage, communication, prayer, and what it really looks like to build a family rooted in faith — not perfectly, but intentionally. In this episode, we cover: What prayer actually looks like in marriage (and why...

In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Laura Sanger, we go deeper… into truth, into awareness, and into the authority we have in Christ. This is one of those conversations that may stretch you a little—but my prayer is that it also strengthens you. We talk about the reality of spiritual warfare, the importance of understanding what we’re up against, and how we can stand firm without fear…...

The new year is already here, and let’s be honest—many of us are stepping into it feeling behind, uncertain, or even overwhelmed. But what if we paused the pressure of goals and resolutions… and simply asked God what He wants for us ? In this episode, I’m sharing what I felt the Holy Spirit speak over this new year—and how we can all invite His voice into our plans and paths for 2026. There’s a hu...

This episode holds a piece of my heart. It’s the story of Mrs. Margaret — a quiet, faithful neighbor who walked our street daily and became a friend I grew to love deeply. In her final days, God allowed me the gift of being present with her… and the honor of sharing the love of Jesus in one of the most holy, tender moments I’ve ever experienced. In today’s episode, I share: • The importance of cre...

This one was fun, y’all. Shay and I sat down over coffee and caught up on everything from our Facebook Marketplace finds to raising kids with grit and grace. We talked about parenting, marriage, farm life, and a few of our wildest antique “treasures.” (TicToc and OnlyGrans may or may not be our next big ideas…) There’s a lot of laughter in this one—but also some sweet reminders of the joy in every...

This episode was such a sweet one. I sat down with my friend and producer, Joe Cline—someone who knows me well behind the mic—and we had a real, unscripted conversation about seasons, stillness, and how we hear from God.

We talk about identity, healing, surrender, and how God will meet you in even the mo...

“The deepest thing is having a life partner.” In this episode, Shay and I sat down for something a little different — a rapid fire Q&A (that turned into a heartfelt conversation, of course). We talk about the funny, the messy, and the meaningful — from who takes longer to get ready, to what marriage has really taught us about love, faith, and vulnerability. In this episode, you’ll hear us talk...

“I didn’t find God. He found me.” That simple, beautiful truth was the moment everything changed for  Ben Fuller . In this episode, I sit down with Ben to walk through pain, addiction, music, and what it looks like when Jesus meets you in the mess.

Friends, this episode is such a special one for me—I get to sit down with my husband,  Shay Mooney , and share some of the most unexpected moments that have shaped our lives.

We share real stories from marriage, raising little ones, and finding unity even when our b...

We’re back for part two of the postpartum conversation, because let’s be honest—there’s a lot to unpack. In this episode, I dive even deeper into the emotional and physical shifts that come after having a baby, the things that caught me off guard, and what’s helped me the most in this season. From the highs to the really tough moments, I want this to be a space where we can talk openly and honestl...

Boy, pregnancy really has a way of working muscles you don’t love working. I mean that in every way… physically AND spiritually. Don’t get me wrong, everything about pregnancy is miraculous…it is a gift and a privilege. BUT, it is also a lot of work. The thing about that work is most of it is unseen or unnoticed.  The first trimester is just waiting… feeling horribly sick and more tired than words...
