  • 020 Can someone look at your life and say "be like her"?

    Becoming Elisabeth Elliot Book Club W1

    We ask hard questions. We laugh. We welcome you to this podcast no matter how much you know about Elisabeth (or you don't love what you know haha), because we believe everyone has something to take away from our time together! This week we discuss Betty's upbringing, Jim Elliot's wild faith and young life, and imitating Christ in our daily faithfulness to Him. As we look at this life up close and personal, we challenge one another: can someone look at our life and say "be like her" and you'll become more Christlike?

  • 019 Reading to Live for the Glory of God with Lia Ross

    Reading is a gift for our entertainment + joy + our spiritual growth! 

    Joined by @liarossreads, we chat about how to find theologically strong books, how to reignite your love for reading if you are in a slow season, and her personal rule of thumb of when to give up reading a book! This episode is for you if you need some ideas of how to start reading because it doesn’t come naturally to you. This episode is for you if you are a bookworm, and need better reading rhythms and to remember WHY we read.

    We read to live for the glory of God.

    Go out this week, and whether you are taking books with you or not, enjoy Him in every hour!

But today we sit with Sarah Fitz and borrow some of her obedience and beauty in seeing her daily life with the eyes of eternity. Suddenly, every date night matters. Your position matters, whether you are a nanny or an accountant or a CEO. Every encounter at Target matters.

  • 013 Spring Is Coming + Christ Has Overcome

    What does it look like to hold space for grief and lament when the world is on fire, yet look in the face of darkness unafraid? When we are at the end of ourselves, how do we find a way to keep worshipping in the madness?


    The truth is that the enemy IS losing ground, and he will keep throwing a tantrum about it. We waste our time acting surprised that he is doing so.

    We can make good use of our time by turning to help ready the bride for Christ, and look to the hills and say: I know where my help comes from. And I know He is working our resurrection, even when it looks like unbridled destruction. 

    Join Emilee as we talk about the real fires going on around us, and quietly ask God: What do you have for us here? Listen in if you need a quiet, deep breath for your soul and actual, eternal hope to keep going.

  • 012 Seeing God in Singleness with Meghan McGuire

    How do you stay awake to your life and the goodness He has for you - even in an extended season you didn't ask for?

    How do you keep your mind and heart on things above in a culture that magnifies the glory of self?

    Jesus' with-ness throughout the gospels guide us in how to be present where we are, serve faithfully, celebrate others well, and live a prayerful life. 

    In this episode, we sit down with the photographer + extrovert Meghan McGuire and verbally process John 16 together. Grab a yummy drink and enjoy learning alongside two sisters (in two different seasons of life) come to the Prince of Peace together. Only in Him do we have a wider capacity to show up for others, eyes open to see our daily life as a gift, and the heart to experience the fullness of joy.

  • 011 Freedom in Obedience with Danielle Philgreen

    Danielle is such a JOY, and we have so much goodness in this conversation for you. Danny and her husband run a photography ministry to invest in couples beyond the wedding day! Today she is generously sharing her heart with us about the TRANSITIONS of life: from deciding to be a full time mom (for now), from photography business to marriage ministry, and how leaning on the Holy Spirit and creating weekly rhythms are their family's sanity in the midst of everyday life. We also discuss practical ways to build a healthy marriage and healthy expectations while goal setting as a family! 

    If you feel this tug that God might be leading you somewhere new, or boring, or too scary - know that on the other side of obedience is a GREATER FREEDOM, and a deeper intimacy with the Lord.
