In this episode you'll hear a recap of a stressful lake weekend involving severe back pain and two hospital visits.... The emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, preparing for a new baby, Myla starting preschool, and the many unexpected ways family life can feel overwhelming and full.

They also answer a listener question about prioritizing marriage during the newborn season, sharing the importance of intentional time together, small check-ins, and choosing connection over keeping score. The conversation moves into love languages and what it looks like to love someone in a way that may not come naturally.

The episode closes with a devotional on Matthew 14:23 and Jesus withdrawing to pray. Together, they unpack the loneliness that can exist in every season of life and how it can become an invitation to draw closer to God.

Kenz and Mac bring their usual early-morning chaos, but the conversation gets unexpectedly deep fast. Kenz shares a devotional unpacking the lie that God is too busy for you and landing on the truth that He is present, powerful, and never too far away.

You’ll also hear the real-life behind-the-scenes of two women trying to record, parent, work, and stay sane at 6 a.m., plus honest updates on marriage stress, a breakthrough with potty training, and the funny little details that make life feel full right now.

Mac talks candidly about pregnancy, family rhythms, and the pressure of juggling a lot at once, while Kenz shares what it looks like to care for her husband in a hard season.

hey! hey! hey!

Welcome back to this week's YAP about how to find freedom from rejection, the stomach bug that took down the Bridges household, Kenz's upcoming laser treatment, and Mac's sweet convo at the hair salon about the new book!

If you're studying Freedom Looks Good On You with us and want to skip the yap then jump in around 18:52. Join us as we share some of our own rejection stories and talk about the lies we can start believing when we feel unseen, unwanted, or left behind. More importantly, dig in with us into the freedom that comes from remembering we don’t have to chase being “unrejected” when we’re already fully known and accepted by Jesus. We hope this conversation helps you bring your own rejection to the Lord, sit in His truth, and keep walking forward in the calling He has for you.
