    Raising Emotionally Strong Kids (Even When We’re Not Perfect)

    We’re not experts. Just parents figuring it out as we go. In this episode, we talk about how we’re trying (imperfectly) to raise emotionally intelligent kids—what that actually looks like in real life, where we get it wrong, and what we’re learning along the way. From big feelings to everyday moments, this is a real conversation about showing up, staying patient, and helping our kids grow into who they’re meant to be. Hosted on Acast.

    Miracle Day: The Day Everything Changed

    The day that almost took everything became the day we now celebrate. In this episode, we share the story behind Miracle Day. We discuss what happened when Alyssa went into septic shock after giving birth, and why we believe her survival is a miracle we’ll never stop honoring. Hosted on Acast.

    Holy Week & What Courage Looks Like

    This week, we’re talking about courage—what it looked like for Christ as He entered Holy Week, and what it looks like in our everyday lives. We reflect on how real courage is deeply tied to faith, especially when things feel uncertain, heavy, or hard. A simple but meaningful conversation about choosing trust, even when it’s not easy.

    Peeing on the Trampoline - Learning in Progress

    A little bit of everything in this one in the best way. In this episode of Still Choosing You, we’re sharing what we’re learning lately. From 3D printing and “vibe coding” to navigating roles at home and making space for more fun in the middle of real life. It’s honest, a little chaotic, and full of laughs… including a very important discussion about trampoline mishaps and the ongoing debate over toilet lids. Hosted on Acast.

    Some Lighthearted Fun Questions

    This week, we kept things light and fun by asking each other a series of random questions about our marriage. From dumb arguments that still make us laugh to the small things that actually make our relationship better, this episode is full of stories, reflections, and plenty of laughs. It’s a simple, honest conversation about what it looks like to grow up together, raise a family, and keep laughing through it all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    What Waiting Is Teaching Us Right Now

    This week we talk about patience… or in Thomas’s case, the lack of it. Between the job search and everyday life, we’ve been learning what patience actually looks like in real time. It’s not always graceful, and it’s definitely not something we’ve mastered. But along the way we found ourselves making a few unexpected discoveries about trust, timing, and what it means to keep choosing each other while life unfolds. Hosted on Acast.

    How We Stay Present Despite Challenges

    In this episode, we talk about staying present. And not because we’ve mastered it, but because it matters more to us than ever. We share a few quotes that have grounded us, how our perspective has shifted over the years, and simple ways we’re learning to slow down and truly be here with our kids, with each other, and with God. We’re not perfect at it. Just practicing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    What is Strength

    What if strength isn’t what we thought it was? After a quick Olympic chat, we share how our view of strength has shifted over the years. How weakness can sit right next to it, and how real strength often looks like borrowing the Lord’s and letting others carry you when you can’t carry yourself. Hosted on Acast.
