    229. On Suffering and Hard Things

    What if the struggle you're avoiding is the very thing meant to make you stronger? Across the pages of the Bible, scripture doesn’t shy away from suffering. Instead, it calls us to embrace it, learn from it, and find joy in the middle of it. Because maybe pain isn’t punishment—it’s preparation. Jesus didn’t promise a trouble-free life. He promised victory through the struggle. And when He said, “Take up your cross and follow me,” he wasn’t inviting us to a life of ease. He was inviting us to ...

    What are you doing with your tax refund this year? In this episode, we’re getting real about our financial journey—how small, consistent habits have helped us make meaningful progress in paying down debt.

We also talk about the curveball we got during tax season when our refund didn’t come through as expected, reminding us ...

    226. Why We Stepped Into Foster Care

    What would happen if we stopped seeing foster care as someone else’s problem? Right now, there are nearly 400,000 children in the foster care system, and behind each number is a real child, a real family, a real story. In this episode, we’re sharing a bit about our own journey into foster care—what led us to say “yes” when so many step back, and why the fight for families is more urgent than ever. We dig into the hard truths about why families are struggling, the ripple effects on communities...

    225. Money and Marriage: Failure is Not an Option

    How would you define your relationship with money in your marriage—a seamless partnership, a constant tug-of-war, or something you avoid talking about altogether? In this episode, we’re getting real about marriage and money—because if there’s one thing that can test a relationship, it’s finances. We’re pulling back the curtain on our own experiences, sharing the lessons we’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) about handling bank accounts, tackling debt, and navigating different spending styles...
