Our Next Question is What If? What if we started each morning with anticipation, expecting God to show up in our lives? What if we looked at every challenge, not as a burden, but as a gift—an opportunity to grow more like Christ? And what if we ended each day with gratitude and excitement for tomorrow’s growth? In this episode, we ask the powerful “What If?” questions that could reshape the way we live. We’ll explore how Scripture calls us to reframe trials as joy, how psychology supports the power of anticipation and gratitude, and practical ways to live with a mindset of growth and hope. Join us as we imagine—and begin living—the life God designed when we wake up with expectation, walk through hard things with purpose, and rest in the peace of His presence.

Our Next Question is "What’s On Your Mind?" In this episode we throw out the script and dive headfirst into the swirling chaos of our minds. That’s right — this is the episode where some of the random thoughts, questions, and rabbit trails finally get their moment in the spotlight. From the mildly philosophical to the completely ridiculous, we’re talking about everything that’s been bouncing around our brains lately. Well, not quite everything, but we do talk about Dr. Pepper, AI, and the best seat on an airplane.

Our Next Question is "What Is Conversation?" In this episode, we explore the deeper purpose and power of conversation. It’s more than exchanging words — it’s about connection, not convincing. We break down the four ways we communicate in conversation: Mental – the thoughts we share, Physical – our tone, body language, and presence, Emotional – the feelings we bring into the space, and Spiritual – the deeper connection and intention beneath the words. Let’s redefine the way we talk, listen, and connect.

Our Next Question is Do You Know What Irritates Me? This will be an ongoing series that we will jump into from time to time when we want to discuss something that irritates us. On this episode, Caroline will discuss how she gets irritated when she feels like she has to give a disclaimer before she lays down scripture. It’s sad that in this day and age how everyone knows everything about trauma and healing and “all the stuff” so when you go to lay out some scripture for them you have to preface it with “I’m not taking away from your trauma” or “I know that just saying scripture doesn’t make it better”, etc…. Scripture doesn’t seem to hold the weight it once did and what it deserves. Dive into this discussion with us and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
