It's me, Sam.

We live in a society that makes demands on how women should look literally from the hair on our head, down to our toenails and every part in between. I typically look like a homeless troll who could use a nap, but I am spending a big pile of money to have straight teeth, so maybe I'm caught up in societal standards more than I realize. Where do you fall? And for Christians, how do we handle the expectations of this world without getting too "caught up?" How much is too much? I love ya'all more than garage sales. Thanks for listening.

As Christians, we're called to live every part of our life "on mission." How do vacations fit into that calling? Discuss! I love ya'all more than Chick-fil-a ice. Thanks for listening.

First, hamster anatomy. Then, Disney, moon rocks, and the German goddess. Roll from there straight into Hufflepuff talk. We touch on Halloween, Jazz Cat, and MLM scams. There are so many twists and turns to this episode. I challenge you to listen closely and take it all in. It's a wild ride!

Thank you so much to my guests for this episode!

I'm kicking off a new series this week! That's right. A SERIES. Which is mostly a way to bind me to continue recording, and also a way for me to share some opinions of mine that may not be the norm or maybe even unpopular. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Let's share opinions! Thanks for listening.

This week I'm sharing about my opinion regarding religious freedom in the schools. Both my 7 year old and 12 year recently had experiences in their schools. Let me be clear on a few things. 1.I'm not 'bashing' my kids' school. 2. Both of my kids' teachers handled the interactions professionally and I am not bashing teachers. Teachers are amazing. 3.I have had a conversation with the principal, who consulted with the superintendent. I was told there is no school policy regarding this issue, but that it essentially falls under the 'separation of church and state.' I disagree and figured I'd talk about it. It's my opinion only, and as my Uncle says, "Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has them and they all stink." Let me know what you think.

50th episode! kind of. If you look back through, you'll see that I clearly have an issue with counting and have mixed up episode numbers along the way. I need a personal assistant. Anyway, today's episode is three life updates bc it's been a while since I talked to ya'all. Also, a minor rant rant about the importance of letting your kids experience and navigate feelings; specifically failure and rejection. I love ya'all more than being on time. Thanks for listening.

For today's episode Jill is back to record a follow-up to episode 33, 'Why I can't say congratulations'. Check out that episode first, and then come back over to hear Jill elaborate about how our mistakes can affect our future, God's plan for relationships, and how to recover that plan. Jill and her husband have been married for 17 years and meet with couples in their church for pre-marital counseling. She brings wisdom and truth in a way that will both challenge and encourage you. I'm so grateful to her for talking with me and for being willing to tackle this topic. If you have any additional questions or comments for Jill, you can send an email to [email protected]. Thanks so much for listening.

It's about to be Valentine's Day ya'all. Seems like a good time to get vulnerable. Thoughtcatalog.com has '37 Good Questions To Ask If You Want To Get Vulnerable With Someone You Love.' Although the most ridiculous title, the questions are pretty deep and will definitely lead to some transparent conversation. So, for this episode I've answered only 10 of them to keep it from being a 8 hours long. Enjoy. I love ya'all more than Colby cheese. Thanks so much for listening.
