The concept of a "core memory" is that certain experiences can shape our lives. While this concept is neither biblical or scientific, there's no doubt that our past can shape our future. And, since our past can be both troubling and triumphant, we must decide Who shapes our future instead of what. We got a chance to talk about this in this episode. We hope you enjoy.

Let's talk about relationships. More specifically, we were asked about our relationship between the 3 of us. There are many key components to "relationships that work". We try to identify a few and how we can apply those in our every day life.

A continuation. Shana and Tonya remain in studio for Part Two of The Girls! 

The summer hiatus is over! Preacher in the Hat returns. In the first part of a special two-part episode, Derek and Eric are pleased to host their sisters, Shana and Tonya. Childhood stories, lessons learned. We all have them, and these are ours!

Gym routines, fear, anxiety. They don't exactly tie together, but let's talk about it all! Nobody wants to talk about fear and anxiety. Human nature is to avoid them at all cost. It can prey on us at every level. God offers us freedom, but it can still be difficult to choose the peace He gives us. Fortunately, in His endless mercy, He offers this peace day after day, never leaving our side.

In this episode, you get to learn a little more about us! All the way from the beginning when Steve found out he was going to be a father to twin boys.

Our Preacher in the Hat team is thrilled to welcome Valorie Gochnauer to the podcast! With her help (and songwriting skills!) we talk about being content in the moments God has placed us.

Fast. Faster. Fastest. Everything in our world is about how quickly things can get done. How quickly we can meet deadlines at work. How quickly that Amazon delivery can get here. It's easy for that "need for speed" to creep into our lives and influence our life patterns. How do we slow down the hurry so we can breathe for a second and hear His voice? Let's take our time and talk about it!
