What a treat! Today I get to talk to my friend Darren Mulligan from the band, We Are Messengers. His love for God and his love for people...GAH! This is for sure a note taking episode! We got to talk about the goodness of God, letting go of ego, and his new album, Where The Joy Is. Darren is such a gift and I'm so thankful for his kindness, wisdom, and humility.

Walking with Jesus with Darren Mulligan from We Are Messengers - Episode 886

Are you starting to think about some summer house projects? ME TOO! That's why I called in our favorite friend that helps us decorate our spaces on a budget. My dear friend, Myquillyn Smith (also known as The Nester) just released a BEAUTIFUL new book called, House Rules. Y'all are going to love it. I loved getting to chat with Myquillyn all about how to figure out your style, shopping your own house, and when to call in a friend for help. Also, her rule about making a We Did It List is brilliant! GAH! I love her so much and I know you will too!

When You Don't Have the Life You Want with Kimberly Schlapman from Little Big Town - Episode 884

Ok, y’all know I loved getting to do a deep dive on the Gospels and the book of Acts in April. Well, we’ve got one more conversation to close out that series (FOR NOW)! Today, we’re talking about the book of Revelation. My friend, Pastor Matt Chandler has a brand new book called The Overcomers that I think you're going to love! The book of Revelation can be overwhelming, intimidating, and honestly even scary at times, but Matt talks about how it's actually a message of encouragement, hope, and motivation. I can't wait for you to hear our conversation about what eternity will look like, being a lukewarm Christian versus being a disciple of Christ walking through a desert, and of course our deep dive into the book of Revelation. Gosh, I love getting curious about the books of the Bible!
