    LEX & CO // Are Your New Year Goals God-Led or Just Hustle Culture?

    New year… but are we following the same God? As Christians, we’re often encouraged to dream bigger, do more, and set goals—but how do we know if our goals are actually God-given or just driven by culture, pressure, and productivity? In this episode, we unpack: • The difference between God-led goals and self-driven ambition • Whether Christians should set New Year’s resolutions at all • How productivity can quietly replace intimacy with God • Why some cycles feel harder to break—even when we pray • How to truly surrender a new year to the Lord We talk ambition, obedience, spiritual discipline, repentance, and preparation—while asking the hard question: Are we doing life with God… or just doing things for God? This episode is for anyone entering a new year craving alignment, not just achievement. 📖 Scriptures referenced: Proverbs 16:3, James 4:13–15, Psalm 37:23

    Life With TWO Babies: What No One Tells You About Marriage

Life With Two Kids How our hearts doubled in size, the joy that comes with it, and how patience has become our daily pruning. 2. Keeping God First as Parents Why church is non-negotiable, how kids learn the fruits of the Spirit from what we model, and how we spiritually anchor our home. 3. Marriage After Babies How we keep our marriage first and avoid “roommate mode,” from serving each other intentionally to small acts that refill each other’s cup. 4. Kids Don’t Ruin Your Life — They Refine It Debunking the lie that your life stops when you have kids. Instead, we talk about traveling with babies, involving them in everything, and raising them without trauma. 5. Encouragement for the Overwhelmed Mom Practical, spiritual, and emotional encouragement for: • the mom losing herself • the stay-at-home mom • the tired mom • and the single mom in a hard season 6.

    The Hardest YES: How Obedience Led to Reconciliation

    In this episode, we’re back with a story that is raw, real, and full of God’s faithfulness. 🌿 We dive into the power of obedience and the journey that led to reconciliation with Culyn’s parents.
