👀 Ever wonder what a truly healthy home looks like when no one’s watching? This week, Kaleb and Ellerie Saucer pull back the curtain on discipleship in the everyday chaos: waffles and devotions, tech boundaries that actually work, playful connection, repentance-as-teachable-moment, and the small rhythms that slowly shape a family’s spiritual culture.

What if the most meaningful spiritual formation isn’t happening at church…but at your dinner table, in the car, or during a meltdown? And what would it look like to celebrate process instead of perfection?

🔥 What if freedom from porn didn’t mean fighting harder, but growing deeper? Listen to Adam and his friend, Drew Boa, unpack why willpower alone never works and how emotional maturity, inner healing, and real connection lead to lasting change. What if your “struggle” isn’t about lust at all, but about loneliness, pain, and the little kid inside still waiting to be seen?
