The title of this episode says it all.  After a new experience at a church we visited, this message really started pulling on my heartstrings.  This week, our conversation is all about WHY Representation Matters - and why it should also matter in the church!  It's hard to want to be a part of something, when you don't feel like you're a part of it.  Being represented, and respected in the church body is something we believe to be a vital piece of church growth.

We see this idea of "Representation" in virtually every piece of our culture, and our lives - the church is really no different.  We hope you enjoy the conversation!  If you have thoughts, comments, questions, or concerns - reach out @haughtcoffeepod & #haughtcoffeepod

The Holy Spirit is a "vocab word" for many Christians - especially young Christians.  It's like your third-cousin you're supposed to know but don't really and can't really identify them.  This weekend we spent time with College Hills Student Ministry at a retreat, where Josh delivered 3 short lessons about the Holy Spirit - something their student leadership team wanted to learn more about!  Throughout the weekend we all truly experienced The Spirit and the ways in which It was moving throughout the weekend.  We decided it would be a great opportunity to share a little bit with our listeners, as well. 

This was a fun and eye-opening conversation to have, one in which we felt we both grew to have a deeper connection to The Spirit.  We hope the same can be true for you! 

Also want to offer an apology for being a little bit late to sharing this episode!

With it being Halloween weekend - we wanted to share a little bit about our fears.  This episode is full of the fears we face regularly - from our silly fears, to the more serious ones - we share a little bit of them all.  We also took this chance to share a little bit about how we face our fears and work through those situations.  Fear isn't something we can just sit it - we have to be able to work through it.  Join us as we navigate through that, and share the things that have helped us.

We hope you have a Happy and Safe Halloween!

Sex.  Yep! You probably could've finished the sentence for us.  This week we venture into the sensitive subject of sex.  We feel that this world offers so much of its own definitions and descriptions of sex, and we want to offer the real truth about it.  The truth of God's design for sex and the truth in the mental and emotional toll it can take on someone.  We share our stories and our experiences this week, all with the purpose to hopefully give insight and knowledge from the "other-side".  The side that completely contradicts what our world and our society tells us. 

We know it's a sensitive subject - and we know for some it may be triggering.  We recommend using listener discretion and listening with trusted friends or family if necessary.

We hope you all enjoy this episode, and can gain a little bit of insight into God's beautiful design for sex.  Sex shouldn't be a taboo word or topic - so join us in the conversation! 

Throughout this episode we also highlight The Ultimate Escape - founded by Steve and Holly Holladay in 2004.

This week we're talking all about media trends, and if/how they impact our spirituality.  We had a really great conversation with our Prodigal Life Group bible study this past week, and we wanted to share that with our #HaughtCoffee listeners.  We learned a lot from their perspective, and we hope that through this conversation, you guys can take something away, too.  This world we're living in is full of trends - and without the awareness of how those trends may impact our faith, we could find ourselves unbalanced in a way that pushes us further from Jesus.  Enjoy this week's episode as we dive into how we can best avoid that, and fill ourselves with godliness and truth.

This week we decided to spend some time sharing our Marriage Mission Statement and our Family Pillars that we created for our marriage a couple of years ago.  We think these are great tools for anyone listening to apply to their life.  For our family, our number one Family Pillar is having a Fearless Faith.  We know that we have a God that fights our battles for us, and for that reason we can walk boldly in our faith.

Our hope is that all of our listeners can see the value in creating a Mission Statement and identifying Pillars for wherever you may find yourself in life right now.

This week's episode discusses the importance of communicating expectations within your marriage, your friendships, your family, relationships and even with your kids.  These are conversations we took for granted and didn't feel were necessary at the beginning of our marriage.  We then realized just how important they were and now we try to have these types of conversations regularly to help avoid unnecessary conflict.

This is our Season Finale episode for Season 1!  

This episode we share a little bit about our summer plans and even more about the ways in which we hope we can be a light and an example for Jesus throughout everything we do.  Too often we hear the message to stop caring so much about what anyone else thinks, and while there's some truth to that advice - there's also a different side in which we should very much care what others think.  We hope you enjoy this episode and we hope you join us on our summer challenge!
