In light of Pope Francis' death, this episode discusses all things papal. We discuss the origin of the papal office and succession, throw in some early church history nuggets and some really cool traditions surrounding the Church and its earthly Father for an interesting, (hopefully) thought-provoking discussion on the pope. 

Reflecting on the chaos of Palm Sunday service, Holy Monday thoughts, and what God is speaking to me during this Holy Week. I hope it is convicting (in the best way) and that you are encouraged toward a fruitful and impactful Easter!

Some lines of thought you’ll find in this episode: how do we condemn the sin and love the sinner? What would God’s facebook page look like? How can we help our family have a fruitful Easter season?

I share my thoughts on the gospel reading this week: the parable of the Prodigal Son. We’ve discussed this passage in depth before, but each time I read it I gain some different nugget of wisdom and encouragement. Our homily this week focused on our many reasons to rejoice, and I hope this reflection helps you carry that into your 4th week of Lent.

While we haven’t properly discussed the Lenten season this year, I use this 3rd Sunday Lenten reflection to catch you up on our season thus far. Spoiler alert, it has been different than seasons past, but fruitful nonetheless. I hope my musings are an encouragement to you wherever you are at in your practice of Lent.

A reflection on the inspiring life of St Patrick, some fun facts you may not have known, and encouragement for allowing Christ in all areas of your life.

Our podcast is one year old! We have been at these weekly discussions for one year today, and are still enjoying the range of topics. In this episode we answer some technical questions we get asked about podcasting, and dive deeper into what is easy, what is hard, what is tricky, and what we are most proud of. We end the discussion noting our excitement for topics to come and some goals we have for the upcoming year.

We are back after a short hiatus due to the flu! In this episode we are talking all things spring cleaning, from your house to your heart.  We talk tips to better organize your house to work for you and how removing the clutter can lessen anxiety. One method for effective spring cleaning is to "take the blinders off" in regards to clutter you may be passing by (literally and metaphorically) and clean it up once and for all. Happy spring cleaning!

This episode is perfect for providing a little inspiration to read, study, and reflect on your favorite bible stories. And if you can't pick one, borrow ours for now! We discuss our favorite excerpts, why we like them, and the beauty of reading them over and over. We also talk about passages we find difficult, and how it is still healthy to struggle through those, or tuck them away for a different season.

Our first episode back in studio this year and I royally messed up the audio. But, if you bear with us, you will hear our discussion on new year goals, and specifically budgeting. We talk about our growth in budgeting and handling finances over the years but also discuss being a steward over any blessings, including time or talents.
