  • This Was Not Our Best Episode

    Howdy, friends! This week's episode is so awkward. We talk about our week being kinda crummy and the challenge that brings for our Lenten commitments. You'll also hear about our first visit back to Inquiry as RCIA Sponsors and how spending the morning at church refreshed us for the week ahead. It's not our prettiest episode, but if you enjoy transparency then you'll appreciate the reality that some week's are harder than others. <3
