This week’s episode is a sweet one! Jill and Brandon talk through The Accountability Ladder: a tool they’ve used to relate to the world, each other and themselves. Rung by rung they swap stories, drop some top-tier life wisdom, and find common ground in their own accountability foibles.

In the spirit of this episode, we take full accountability for the audio quality around 24 minutes in (it's hail season out west!).

Unlike the Super Bowl, the issue of government spending on USAID doesn’t have a clear winner. Is the government cleaning up the books with the taxpayer dollar in mind? Or are they shutting it down without a clear plan? Tune in to hear Jill and Brandon add their two cents to the USAID budget.

Jill and Brandon are back to discuss the higher powers that be. Is God orchestrating each of our lives? Or instead focused on the broader vision for the world? We might not know how this sausage is made, but we’re all in the casing.

In this first episode of I’m Hanging Up Now, Jill and Brandon talk about their differing views on the role of the media in our society, the bias that exists within and where we find ourselves today.
