Do you remember the acronym from our middle school yearbooks: K.I.S.S.? Keep It Simple Stupid. That is what has been running through my mind when thinking of getting this episode out to you guys! In the chaos of the end of school year, summer is approaching, 2018 pace we seem to try and keep, simplifying just seems to be the theme we continue to resonate with. God seems to be challenging our hearts in this and it is no coincidence that it is just when our schedules are becoming packed with summer busyness! We hope this episode gives you a nudge in finding space and time to simplify so that you can reconnect with your Maker, your family, and yourself. As always, please connect with us @raisingfeathers and with #raisingfeathers! We LOVE hearing from you!

Y’all. This episode. Obviously I am a little biased, but I think you are going to super enjoy this one. For starters, mom has a southern accent – who doesn’t love listening to that?? More fully, mom has such a heart for the Lord and this episode just exudes that as she shares her heart for raising my brother and I. We spent a lot of time discussing prayer, which again is a very pure reflection of her heart. You’re just going to love this one. I hope you are challenged to pray for and love your family in a little different way after this. Don’t forget to connect with us @raisingfeathers and #raisingfeathers!

Guys, you guys are going to L-O-V-E this episode! All the heart eyes for this one! We are doing a mini Mother’s Day series and it all starts here with Abby’s mom and Smalls’ Ohio mom: Jane Livengood. Abby took a few minutes to interview her mom while on a weekend trip visiting her family and it takes all kinds of turns and tangents that are so so special for her and also the rest of us listening. You will learn so much about Abby, her family, and also yourself. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You will come away from this episode challenged in your own heart, mind, and relationships. These two are so special and this episode reflects that beautifully. Let us know your favorite part of this episode over on our pages!

Let us know where you went on your honeymoon and where your favorite vacation spot is! You can find us at @raisingfeathers everywhere and use #raisingfeathers to tag us in your posts!

Hey y’all! We’re hesitantly excited to get this episode out to you. While this topic is harder for us to talk about than our favorite books, we’re trusting the Lord to use our words to help just one person – to use our vulnerability and experience. We had some technical difficulties with recording this episode and editing it – you’ll notice the sound quality is subpar: we deeply apologize for that! We want this to always be our best possible work and this does not fully live up to that. We promise to have this worked out next week! Join the conversation with us on social media @raisingfeathers and #raisingfeathers!

Hey y’all! We are SO EXCITED for you to listen to this one! We feel blessed and honored to bring our college friend, Hillary Massie on as our first guest. Not only will you hear fun stories from our college years, but you’ll also learn how God worked in her life to guide her to a place where she could in turn, now pour into others. He’s so so good! We hope you love listening to this conversation with Hillary as much as we loved having it. Connect with us on social media and check out a picture from the powderpuff team where we all connected. We’re on Instagram and Facebook. We’d love to know what is getting you off the couch this week! Join in the conversation with #raisingfeathers wherever hashtags work.
