For The Girl

In today’s episode, we’re sharing a real-time update on what God is currently teaching us in our marriages. We’re definitely not experts—we’re just a couple girls in the first decade of marriage learning as we go. From navigating exhaustion and learning how to love our husbands in the small ways, to honoring their voices, creating space for each other to recharge, and keeping fun alive in the middle of busy family life—this conversation is honest, funny, and full of the little lessons shaping our relationships right now.

We also talk about serving together, learning deeper dependence on our spouses in new seasons, and why prayer for your husband might be one of the most powerful things you can do in marriage. If you’re married, dating, or dreaming about marriage someday, we hope this episode encourages you that growth in marriage often comes through the everyday moments. And truly—God is using it all.

Comparison is sneaky, and if we’re honest, it’s something none of us ever fully graduate from. In today’s episode, we’re having a real conversation about how comparison shows up in our lives—even in adulthood, friendships, motherhood, and ministry.

We share some vulnerable stories from our own friendship and from building Delight together, including moments when comparison tried to creep in and steal our joy. But here’s the good news: we truly believe freedom from comparison is possible.

We walk through seven practical ways to combat comparison—from calling it out and checking your lane to celebrating others and committing to gratitude. These aren’t just theories; they’re lessons we’ve had to learn (and relearn) over the years.

If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling after scrolling social media, questioning your gifts, or feeling like someone else is doing life “better,” this episode is for you. Our prayer is that you walk away feeling lighter, freer, and more confident in the unique way God designed you. 💛

In today’s episode, we’re getting real about what it actually looks like to live on mission with your spouse — not just talk about it, but truly build a marriage centered on the Kingdom of God. But before we dive deep, we’re starting with some hilarious (and slightly dramatic) marriage fight stories — because let’s be honest… marriage isn't always easy. 😅

What if marriage isn’t just about comfort, date nights, vacations, and building a cozy life… but about building the Kingdom together?

If you’ve felt distant from your husband…
If your marriage feels good but maybe a little stagnant…
If you’ve secretly wondered, “Is there more for us?”

This conversation is your invitation to step into it.

Okayyyy this one was FUN. 💌 In the spirit of our Valentine’s series, we brought in the real experts — our husbands — to answer your dating questions. And let’s just say… they did not hold back.

From slow texters and “is he into me?” confusion, to crushes that might be idols (yikes 😅), to dating your ex’s best friend (double yikes??), we covered it all. We talked about insecurity, confidence, communication, rejection, equal yoking, and what healthy pursuit actually looks like.

The boys shared honestly about what it means to pursue with clarity, why you should never have to guess how a guy feels about you, and how important community and character really are.

If you’re dating, thinking about dating, healing from dating, or just trying to not overthink dating — this episode is for you. We laughed a lot and hopefully left you feeling a little more confident, a little more grounded, and a lot more at peace.

In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Christian Bevere to talk all about what it looks like to pray for your future husband — before you even know his name. We dive deep into faith, singleness, and what it really means to contend in prayer for the love story God is writing.

Christian shares her whirlwind love story, but more importantly, she walks us through how praying for her husband transformed her heart long before she walked down the aisle. We talk about awkward prayers, husband Bibles, singleness as a gift, and how to navigate dating in today’s world without losing your peace or your standards.

If you’re single and waiting, dating and discerning, or even married and reflecting on how God moved in your story — this conversation will remind you that God hears every prayer, sees every tear, and is wildly intentional with your timeline.
