This week’s theme is Joy! I share a little about my own struggle to grow during this season of preparation and what God is showing me through that struggle. Jesus being the focus of the season has definitely made such an impact on how I’m processing things and has given me reason to rejoice in a busy, stressful season!

I give a short intro to the advent season, share some thoughts from our priest’s homily, and what our advent plans are. Starting small and giving myself permission to build. Such an exciting and busy season, but I’m going to put in the efforts to remember Christ and where our hope comes from.

Well, election day is upon us, and I think we are at least all united in our anxiety. This episode discusses the challenges of navigating politics and faith, being responsible but not giving ourselves over to worry. We discuss how we plan to cope with the anxieties of the next few days in a healthy way. Deep breaths, we will all be okay.

A discussion on the history of Halloween; where it started, how it has changed and merged with other celebrations. We discuss Halloween origins, cultural adaptations, Church holidays, and more. We both found all the history so interesting and hope this discussion provides some history nuggets and also helps your family enjoy it's own Halloween/fall season with some additional fun facts.

Our idea for this venture came from our love of deep conversation. When we were dating we would reluctantly table a conversation at 1am and pick it up the next day. Now over 6 years later, we've only added to our topics of discussion, as well as hopefully gained more perspective along the way. We will continue to unpack the world through a Christian lens, one that includes different upbringings but a strong foundation nonetheless. We pose topics, trending and otherwise, and hope to have you follow along and join the conversation!
