We’re back with a super fun, super yappy episode! The snow apocalypse totally threw off our plans, but that didn’t stop us from hopping on the mic to catch up on life (virtually, of course). In this episode, we’re bringing you all the big updates—life shifts, work transitions, possible moves, and yes...even a little pregnancy talk (maybe). From toddler chaos and solo workouts in overalls to new rhythms with childcare and diving back into ministry work, we’re sharing the highs, the lows, and the hilarious in-betweens. You’ll hear about Mac's new church home, Kenz' small group launch, and the very spontaneous business venture that’s bubbling behind the scenes. It's a casual, cozy convo where we let you in on the real-life stuff God’s doing in this season.

In this episode, we get real about the chaos of life and how we’re learning to slow it all down. From overpacked schedules and toddler chaos to marriage dynamics and that ever-distracting phone, we talk about what’s been stressing us out—and how we’re actually doing something about it. We share the rhythms, mindset shifts, and spiritual habits that are helping us create more peace, presence, and purpose in our days. Plus, we get honest about what our husbands claim they’re “good at” and why ping-pong might be their peak. If your life’s felt a little too frantic lately, this is your gentle reminder that it doesn’t have to be that way. Let’s destress our lives together—starting now.

As we step into 2026, we’re taking time to check in on the health of our hearts using a framework called RPMs — Relational, Physical, Mental, and Spiritual. In this episode, we reflect on how each of these areas looked for us in 2025, where we saw growth, and where we hope to go deeper in the new year. This conversation is full of honesty, laughs, and some real heart checks. Whether you're feeling on fire spiritually or just trying to eat fewer bowls of cereal (Mac, we’re lookin’ at you!), we hope this framework helps you draw closer to Jesus and embrace intentional living in 2026. Grab your journal, reflect with us, and let’s invite the Lord into every part of our heart.
