Join us for episode one of our mini series: “Mom Advice!” In this episode we have Natalie’s mom Kristie on to talk about her best pieces of advice. We start by talking about how having an attitude of gratitude can change your perspective on life. Then we dive in to how taking time to rest can affect all areas of your life and how discerning when you should say yes is greatly important. Lastly, we talk about how important it is to be rooted in the truth and how we have to know the truth in order to identify the lies. This episode is packed with great advice for all stages of life and we hope you enjoy!

On this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re switching things up a little! Join us for an unscripted episode where we’re asking random fun questions as a way to get to know us better. We’ll talk a little bit about our favorite games, the best flavor of ice cream, and our favorite podcasts. We also discuss the different roles that we handle when producing the podcast and end with some fun would-you-rather questions!

On this week's episode we’re talking all about the fruit of the spirit which means that of course we’d have to start by talking about our favorite (and least favorite) fruits! From there we jump into Galatians 5 to walk through several verses from that chapter. Then, we break down each of the fruits individually to talk about what they mean and what it looks like to live with that fruit in your life. Enjoy!

On this week's episode we are joined by Jake and Christy Vanada to talk about the story of STMA Breakfast Club. We talk about why they started it, how Jake knew it was meant to be in a barn, and the incredible stories of what God has done along the way. Jake and Christy talk about how it has impacted their own faith and how it’s impacted the community. Then, we flip the script and the Vanadas interview us about what it’s like to be a student on the other side of it! We share what it’s like to experience a movement of faith in a public school, our favorite breakfast club foods, and our not so subtle ways of inviting people to come. Hope you enjoy this episode!

Happy 4th of July! On today’s episode we’re talking about what we love about the 4th, some of our favorite things to do on the holiday, and we debate our differing views on fireworks. We also talk about how we can have freedom in Christ when we have a relationship in him and what it looks like to live in this way. Hope you enjoy!

Today on the podcast, Owen and Natalie are joined by Natalie’s dad, Aaron Cocking, to talk about prayer and reading God’s word. Aaron starts by giving us a lively retelling of one of his favorite Bible stories. We talk about how to set a routine for your time with God, the importance of doing these things, and how to hold onto faith even when your prayers aren’t being answered. Aaron and Owen also share some of their suggestions for where to start reading in your Bible if you are new to faith or to reading The Word. We hope you all are encouraged by this episode!

This week on the Called Not Qualified podcast, we’re looking forward to the end of the school year by talking about some of our favorite high school memories. We both share the things that we are most looking forward to next year. We dive into Jeremiah 29:11 and how this verse can give us hope about God’s plans for our life. Owen talks about how God’s timing doesn’t always match ours, but we talk about how his plans for us are always good no matter what.

This week on the Called Not Qualified podcast we are chatting with Amanda Stank, the founder of Run for HER. Amanda tells us the story of what Run for HER is, where the idea came from, and how she felt God calling her to pursue this. Amanda talks about how she felt affirmed in her calling and about the moments of doubt along the way. She shares some encouragement for those attempting to pursue a calling, and she talks about how when God calls you it’s so much bigger than yourself. Enjoy!

On todays episode we are joined by a good friend of ours, Hannah Kvant! There is plenty of laughter as we talk all about our competitive sides and the story of Hannah and Owen’s rivalry. Hannah tells why the story of the fiery furnace is her favorite and all that we can learn from it. We dive into the topic of baptism and Hannah talks about the story of her own baptism. The three of us share about how easy it is to idolize school, sports, perfectionism, and anything else, but how putting Jesus first can radically change our lives!
