We’re kicking off a brand-new season that’s unlike anything we’ve ever done! From laugh-out-loud “expert” fails to powerful wisdom on parenting, faith, and letting go of the pressure to know it all — this one will have you nodding, laughing, and maybe even rethinking your coffee order.

After 185 episodes and 17 years of friendship, we’re shaking things up with Gather the Experts — a lineup of incredible guests who know more than we do in areas that matter for faith, family, and everyday life. But first, we’re starting with our own “expertise” (coffee hacks, piles, teen survival strategies, and driving mishaps) plus lessons we’ve learned over the summer.

Takeaway:
You don’t have to be an expert in everything — because you have access to the One who is. Let’s walk into this season with joy, wisdom, and a whole lot of laughter.

Summer fun doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your skin—or your sanity. In this episode of You Grow Girl, Kate and Rebecca are talking all things SPF, teenage tanning trends, and how caring for your skin can actually be an act of wisdom and worship.

With laughs, honest confessions, and a look at the Word, they remind us that the Lord is our Keeper—the One who provides shade, protection, and rest. They’re also sharing simple ways to slow down, step into the shade (literally and spiritually), and sit with God in the midst of a busy season.

Whether you’re chasing toddlers or chasing quiet moments, this conversation will help you see summer not just as a time to protect your skin—but to protect your peace.

Let’s grow, girl.
