For The Girl

Hey For The Girl Fam! In this episode, we’re diving into a heartfelt and hilarious (in our opinion) conversation about the people who’ve deeply impacted our lives—from spiritual mentors to Instagram follows. We share stories about Mac’s pastor dad, Kenz’s love for Francis Chan, and the dynamic duo Jesse Itzler and Sara Blakely. Plus, we reflect on how intentionality, discipline, and humility play a powerful role in shaping who we become. You’ll also hear all about our favorite weekly email (yes, it involves bikini waxes), what it looks like to pursue excellence without chasing fame, and how a single sermon can radically change your life.

In this episode, we catch up with our longtime friend Natalie Firsker, and wow—you’re going to be so inspired by her story. Natalie shares how a mission trip at age 12 sparked a lifelong passion for serving in Mexico, and how that radical “yes” turned into leading a nonprofit, The Aloe Family, that now spans across multiple countries. We chat about what it looks like to live a faith that’s costly, full of sacrifice, and beautifully spirit-led—even when it’s wildly different from the people around you. Plus, Natalie spills a little about life with her NFL husband and how they’re figuring out marriage, ministry, and mission all at once. It’s honest, fun, and full of practical encouragement for anyone asking: “What does it look like to radically follow Jesus right where I am?”

Topics Discussed

The Start of a Calling: Natalie shares how her heart for Mexico began with a mission trip and one little girl who changed everything.

From Trips to Transformation: What began as a yearly visit became a lifelong mission to build bridges between cultures and create sustainable change.

Life on the Move: We talk day-in-the-life in Mexico, Columbia, Nashville, and airports everywhere—and how the Spirit leads when you live out of a suitcase.

The Aloe Family: Natalie breaks down what her nonprofit actually does, the programs they run, and how they stay rooted in people-first ministry.

Radical Faith Looks Different: We dive into the tension of living a life that doesn’t look like everyone else’s—and why that’s actually the beauty of following Jesus.

Ministry + Marriage: Natalie opens up about life with her husband Anthony, an NFL player, and how they make two different worlds beautifully overlap.

Boundaries & Burnout: How she protects her peace, prioritizes rest, and keeps her soul healthy in a demanding season.

What Radical Faith Really Means: We close out with a powerful reflection on what it means to say “yes” to Jesus in the big and small, the easy and the scary.

In this episode, we sit down with one of Kenz's oldest and dearest friends, Courtney Slavinski — the girl who literally led her to Jesus! From swing dancing to homeschooling four kids, Courtney shares how saying a simple yes to the Holy Spirit turned into hosting 200+ high school students in her living room every week. Yep, you read that right. She and her husband Steve started Waygo Youth — a grassroots movement that’s discipling teens in radical, Spirit-filled ways right from their home. We talk motherhood, ministry, marriage, and what it really looks like to live a life fully surrendered to Jesus. Prepare to be convicted, encouraged, and fired up to live on mission — wherever God has you!

Okay friends — this episode is so special. We sat down with our new friend Daniel McLeod for a convo that left us honestly fired up and so encouraged. Daniel lives in Nashville and leads an incredible ministry called Jesus Mission that’s all about reaching the next generation — and y’all, the stories he shares are WILD. We’re talking revival in high schools, miracles on the streets of Broadway, and what it really means to live with radical, sold-out obedience to Jesus.

We talk about the cost of following Jesus, how scary obedience can be (and how to do it anyway), and the better-than-you-could-imagine life that comes on the other side of surrender. Whether you’re in full-time ministry, raising babies, working a 9-to-5, or just trying to figure it all out — this episode will remind you that your “yes” to God matters more than you think. Let’s get after it!

In today’s episode, we’re kicking off a brand new series all about what it really looks like to live radically for Jesus! We get super honest about how chasing after a bold, sold-out faith can feel a little harder now that we’re married, raising babies, and just living in the thick of life. We talk about the ways our faith felt wild and full of fire back in college, and how we’re learning to find that same hunger again in this season. Plus, we dive into the story of the rich young ruler and what Jesus says about living radically — it’s costly, it’s dependent, it’s simple, and it’s the absolute best adventure we could ever say yes to. Whether you’re single, married, raising a family, or somewhere in between, we hope this convo leaves you feeling challenged, encouraged, and fired up to chase after all God has for you! Let’s get after it, friends!
