    Episode 36:Faith Over Fear (and a Bearded Dragon)

    Y'all!!! A bearded dragon showed up… and so did Devin's fear. 😂 In this episode, we talk about panic, overreacting, and how easy it is to let fear take over if we aren’t careful. Through all the chaos, 2 Timothy 1:7 reminded us that God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Just a real, messy conversation about faith, fear, and giving it back to Jesus in the middle of it all.

    Episode 35: Communication and Butterflies

    Ever feel like your relationships are running on empty—not because you don’t care, but because life just gets loud? 🤍 In this episode, we’re starting at the source: our relationship with God. Before we can pour into our spouse well, we have to stay connected to Him through honest, ongoing communication—prayer that isn’t polished, just real. Because when we’re rooted there, it changes how we speak, listen, and show up in our closest relationships. We’re talking about feeding our relationships through intentional communication, giving grace in the messy moments, and choosing connection even when it’s hard. It’s not about perfection—it’s about staying connected to the One who sustains it all. 💛

    Episode 34: What If He Came Back Today?

    Okay but imagine this… your husband comes home early from deployment to surprise you and you’re standing there with no makeup, a questionable spray tan, and laundry EVERYWHERE 😂 yeah… that was me. I was not ready—not even a little—and it hit me later… what if Jesus came back like that? Unexpected, unannounced, right in the middle of our mess. Would we be ready… or just hoping for more time? 👀 Tune in to this unreleased, unhinged episode: He Came Back & I Was Not Ready—you’re gonna laugh and then you’re gonna think.

    Episode 32: Feeling Overwhelmed & Needing a Reset

    This week’s Girls Girls episode is basically what happens when we hit pause and admit… yeah, we’re tired 😅 We didn’t come in with a plan or a polished message—we just needed a reset. So we checked in, said the things we’ve actually been carrying, and shared our very real “holy messes” (because there were plenty). We talked about the ways God has been speaking to us lately. The just right devotional,The random texts, the honest conversations, the moments where someone said exactly what we didn’t even know we needed to hear. No pressure, no pretending—just a reminder that God shows up in the middle of our mess, and a lot of times, He uses the people around us to do it. If you’ve been feeling off, overwhelmed, or just not 100%, this one will feel like sitting in the room with us 🤍

    Episode 31: While It Was All Falling Apart, He Made A Way.

    In this episode of The Holy Mess Express Podcast, we share the wild, messy story of a night that almost fell apart—until God made a way when there was no way. From car trouble to chaos, it would’ve been easy to give up, but what waited on the other side was exactly what our hearts needed. We talk about how God meets us in the middle of the mess and how close we can come to missing what He has for us. This episode also challenges the difference between simply knowing Jesus and truly surrendering to Him. If you’ve ever felt distant, tired, or ready to quit, this one will remind you: God is still working—even when it doesn’t look like it.

    Episode 30: Grace on Grace

    After 31 years of beach trips, my husband finally found his first perfect sand dollar—no chips, no cracks, just sitting there like a little beach miracle. The kids were excited, he was proud, and somehow it ended up on my nightstand. I really tried to leave it alone… but I picked it up to admire it one more time, went to set it back down, and shattered it into pieces. 🙃 Instead of getting mad, Caleb just laughed and said, “Honestly… this kind of makes it even better.” And somehow that little moment turned into a bigger conversation about grace, broken things, and how we respond when life (or us) makes a mess.

    Episode 29: Pain Masked As Rebellion

    So… For two weeks Devin was convinced she was dealing with straight-up defiance from Chapel — the whining, the tantrums, the drama — and was fully prepared to implement some serious character-building consequences. Turns out? Ear infection. She wasn’t rebellious. She was in pain. And then, we felt that holy little nudge like, “How often do you do this to other people in everyday life?” This week’s episode is us unpacking that conviction in real time — the ways we label instead of lean in, correct instead of get curious, assume instead of ask. It’s honest, a little humbling, and it might hit close to home. If you’ve ever mistaken hurt for attitude, this one’s for you.
