I am surrounded by friends that I love dearly and enjoy having life-giving conversations with. Creating an opportunity to sit with these friends and talk about the joys of life and how we are not just making it through life, but leaning into it, is something I’m really excited about. No one can have 52 close friends, and what really even determines what makes someone a close friend? Through this podcast and these conversations, I look to find a deeper meaning of close friends and how we might all be a little more fond of each other than we had ever even realized.

    Close Friend #42

    Close Friend #42 is Ellen Robinson! When I think of a friend that you can go months or longer without talking, and then pick right up where you left off, Ellen is that friend. We discuss some potentially controversial topics, and I'm curious to know your thoughts!

    Quick little life update.

    It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted an episode. Life has been busy and I am trying to be a good steward of my time. Happy to be jumping back in!

    Close Friend #28

    Close Friend #17 is Amy Epley. This episode ended up being in quite a different order than the rest of them, but it kind of turns out to be so fun! She and I have been friends since we both moved to Evansville in 2017, navigating the waters of working together and using online dating, we came out on the other side all the better! It has always been so easy to catch up and talk to her, this conversation being no different. She's wise and hilarious and I hope you enjoy the conversation! *Note: Y'all, this episode was great until the 1 hour mark. However, I would encourage you to turn your headphones up at that point. It's not perfect, but Amy really speaks some truth that I want everyone to hear, so thankfully ;) I'm the one who's quieted.

    Close Friend #17

    Rachel Barnes is so much more than what meets the eye. This is such a sweet conversation, with a sweet friend! We discuss music, decision making, and how ultimately we're all just trying to be seen and heard and understood.

    Close Friend #23

    Close Friend #23 is Ashley Lynn Forbes Hooten. After many rain(tornado) delays we finally had time to sit and talk about the pressing topic of *Therapy* We discuss much outside of that, but I just want to say that I appreciate this friendship so much and I hope you all love the episode!

    Close Friend #47

    Close Friend #47 is Marygrace Fendrich.  First thing: the sound on this video is *rough* and I’m sorry. I’m realizing I have a cable that needs to be replaced, but this conversation was so good, I couldn’t scrap it. So, it might be rough around the edges, but I hope you’ll stick around and listen! Secondly, Marygrace is one of my favorite people to sit and talk to, and one of the funniest people I know! Getting to record my first episode in my home with her was the cherry on top of our chat.

    Close Friend #13

    Emily Raleigh, my buddy. She and I have sat behind the mics multiple times together to help me practice getting the hang of things. How our friendship made it out of the coworker phase is such a mystery to me, but I would not want anyone to know about my taco bell car eating shame besides her.

    Close Friend #2 Part 2

    We left off talking about contentment, and pick right back up this week. Honestly, after going back to edit this episode I was reminded of how seamlessly God works in our lives. This episode is a reminder for me about the importance of prayer and our relationship with Christ to be intentional and not transactional.
