Holy Shenanigans: Our Journey of Faith, Family and Failure episodes

  • The Holy Mess of Marriage

    Marriage isn’t all candlelight and cute couple selfies. Sometimes it’s silent dinners, slammed doors, and wondering if “forever” was a good idea. In this episode of Holy Shenanigans, we wade into the stormy waters of real marriage—the kind that tests your patience, your faith, and your vows. What do you do when leaving looks easier than staying? We talk about holy grit, God’s grace in the middle of the mess, and how staying can be sacred—even when it’s hard. This one’s for anyone hanging on by a thread, or holding out hope for something holy in the chaos.

Join us for a raw, honest conversation about spiritual freedom, emotional healing, and reclaiming the purpose God has for us.

  • Doing the Dang Thing: The Unfiltered Side of Pursuit and Purpose

    In this episode of Holy Shenanigans, we’re talking real pursuit, not the cute, vision-board kind (although I love my vision board), but the kind that costs you something. Because if you don’t know what you’re chasing, you’ll burn out chasing everything. We dive into the hard truth that spiritual, emotional, mental, relational, and physical health aren’t side notes—they’re the foundation. And to pursue wholeness in a chaotic world? You’re gonna need commitment, discipline, and sometimes… a little holy aggression.

  • “This Season’s a Gift (Even If It’s Not Wrapped Pretty)”

    In this episode of Holy Shenanigans, we’re unpacking the beauty and mess of the season we’re in — the one we didn’t plan but are learning to be grateful for. We’re talking about trusting God with what’s in our hands, holding onto hope without rushing the process, and finding satisfaction in the now, even while believing for what’s next. It may not be wrapped the way we wanted, but it’s still a gift — and we’re learning to open it with grace (and maybe a little laughter).
