Mack and Brens dive into and reflect on the three categories of Academics, Social, and Faith in their first Semester at College. They talk about all the new experiences they faced, what they learned, and How God used all of it for their good.

So pumped to be back to update you all! Mack and Ainsley talk about what it looks like to survive college and how they became roomies! 

Brensly, Jordan, and Mack dive into their true and honest feelings about stepping into this new season of college. The convo consists of nerves, excitement, and remembrance of Gods faithfulness in the past to encourage us to know he will remain faithful going forward. The girls understand there not always a way to plan for the unknown of life, but how that unknown is also such a blessing. How? In the way, we walk with Jesus being a step by step relationship, like a lamp lighting our steps as talked about in the podcast. God is not going to give us a flashlight in a dark room, where we are able to see multiple steps ahead, because that would scare us. He instead leads us, step by step, with the light of a lamp or lantern. 

The girls wanted to film this podcast to also let you know that if you are about to start a new stage of life, it doesn't only have to be college, that you are not alone in your feelings. And it's ok to feel nervous about a situation, however, God wants us to run to him with those feelings and remember all his promises in the midst.

Are you finding it hard to trust God? Do you believe that our God is the God of impossible? If not, this podcast is the perfect one for you and if you do believe that, it’s also perfect for you to encourage even more. Breezy is an amazing 21-year old who beat cancer, got her leg amputated and pursues Jesus on a daily basis. Her life is so inspiring along with her faith, and her testimony of all God has done in her life. She shares all God has done in her life, including breaking off the chains that held her captive for so long,  the enemies, lies. She talks about the freedom. She now feels, and the overwhelming sense of joy in her life, because of Jesus. And wanted to let everyone know that there is freedom in your life not only hers, but yours as well.

 Mack also says in the podcast. “ I love how we serve a God that trades our depression and gives us joy and trades our anxiety and gives us peace. “ How awesome is it that we serve a God like that, the God of impossible.

Hope you all are having a blessed day today! Mack will be returning from her mission trip today, which means this podcast was recorded a little prior in advance about what the Lord has been teaching her and putting on her heart. Mack dives into Matthew 14 verses 13 through 21 (Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand) and talks about giving your “only” to God. Whatever your “only” is in your life, we serve a God that has the power to multiply it and use it in amazing ways we could have never expected. Have you ever thought, “How can God use this-or use me?” Hopefully this is an encouragement to anyone who doesn't see how God can  multiply your only in your life. 

Some question Mack asks are:

-What are your 5 loaves of Bread and 2 Fish in life?

-How can you give that part of your life to God, so he can multiply it?

Mandy & Mack talk about what it looks like to love every part of yourself and how to do that. They also talk about the pressure that comes with what the world views as beautiful and the power of discipline in our faith to remember we are beautiful no matter what we look like.  We do not have to over work at the gym, skip meals, put on tons of makeup to be beautiful, because God already calls you a masterpiece! Once we live knowing that truth, we don't look to others for that external confirmation that is not constant.

Mandy is so cool, she also has a blog that you should GO CHECK OUT! It is called

Jesse and Mack dive into many different things during this convo; ranging from being fully yourself, loving the person God created you to be, and the impact saying Hi to someone can make. The girls also talk about their own struggles having to do with learning difficulties and how that has helped shape them into the person they are today. They love how God uses everything we all have for good, no matter how we view ourselves, or how the world views us. The girl's advice for making people feel seen, loved, and valued is to “Start by saying hi”, waving, or even smiling. You truly never know what people are going through and those gestures go a long way. The girls also talk about being willing to be available to God. There is a quote that says “God doesn't use the ready, he uses the willing.” So the question from this podcast is, “Are you ready to be used by God?”. Pray into that question. Jesus loves you! Remember to LOVE people today!

Are you walking through a hard season? Are you finding it difficult to trust God in the midst? This convo is for you. Fran and Mack talk about their own personal experiences with trusting God even though they don’t like, are confused, or are disappointed about their situations. However, they talk about how looking back, God uses everything for our Good. Like Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” This is such a good reminder that God is going to work everything out for good, even though it may not seem like it right now, or we can imagine how God will use our situation for good. He promises that he will and also that he is with you through it all. He loves you so much, run to him during hard times, don't run away.
