What does hope look like in one of the most desperate places on earth?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Mike Vogt, director of Transform South Sudan, to hear firsthand what God is doing in South Sudan—the poorest country in the world by nearly every measure.

From unimaginable challenges to stories of resilience, faith, and transformation, Mike shares how the Gospel is bringing real, tangible change to communities in crisis.

But this conversation isn’t just about awareness—it’s about action.

Right now, there is an urgent opportunity to help build a life-saving maternity ward that will care for mothers and babies who otherwise have little to no access to medical care.

We’re raising $85,000, and by God’s provision, a generous donor has already offered a $42,500 matching gift—which means every dollar you give will be doubled.

This is your chance to be part of something eternal.

Is your phone quietly destroying your connection?

We carry them everywhere. We check them constantly. And without even realizing it… our phones may be becoming the third presence in our marriage.

In this episode, we introduce the idea of the “pocket toddler”—the device that demands attention, interrupts conversations, and slowly pulls us away from the person sitting right next to us.

We’re talking honestly about how technology:

Shuts down real communication
Keeps us from truly listening
Trains us to prioritize distractions
And slowly erodes emotional and physical intimacy

But this isn’t about guilt—it’s about awareness and change.

We’ll share real-life moments from our own marriage, unpack why this matters spiritually, and give you simple, practical ways to take your connection back—starting today.

In this episode, we revisit one of our most important discussions to help you fight for intimacy, healing, and a deeper connection in your marriage.

What does parenting look like when your child has extraordinary medical needs—and how does that affect your marriage?

This week we’re joined by our friend Mandi Moseley, whose daughter Ellie was born with Edwards Syndrome. Against the odds, Ellie’s life has become a profound answer to prayer and a testimony of God’s faithfulness.

Mandi shares candidly about navigating medical complexity, the strain and strengthening it brings to a marriage, and the ways God has used Ellie’s story to draw their family closer together.

It’s a conversation about faith, resilience, and discovering hope in the places you least expect it.

Every marriage faces conflict — but some communication patterns quietly erode connection over time. In this episode, Carl and Heather unpack Dr. John Gottman’s “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” and share practical, faith-rooted tools to replace criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling with grace, humility, and repair. If you’ve ever wondered why small disagreements escalate or conversations shut down, this episode will give you language, hope, and a path forward.

In this episode, we’re sharing an honest update on Behold Gathering 2026—what it was like, the moments that mattered, and the stories we’ll carry forward. We reflect on the prayers that shaped the weekend, the ways God met us in the room, and the fruit that’s still unfolding.

We also take time to honor the people who made Behold possible and invite you into what God is doing next. Whether you were there or cheering from afar, this episode is a reminder: Behold isn’t just an event—it’s a movement of women learning to behold Jesus together.

We're partnering with Transform South Sudan to build a hospital maternity ward. You can hear about it in this episode.

Every marriage needs more than love—it needs intentional conversation.

In this episode, Carl and Heather share the three essential “tune-up” conversations every couple must keep having to stay connected, emotionally safe, and on the same team. From managing stress, to strengthening intimacy, to navigating roles, conflict, and the daily load of life, these conversations are designed to prevent drift before distance sets in.

If you’ve felt disconnected, reactive, or stuck in the same arguments, this episode gives you simple, proven questions and rhythms that help you move from surviving to growing—together.

Because great marriages aren’t built by accident. They’re built through conversation. ❤️
