It’s our final episode of 2021! Our new and bold friend Madison Prewett gave us a strong ending to a season (of RFL and the Bachelor) as sat down with us to discuss the blessings and cost of knowing who you are and walking in confidence. Madi lets us in on practices she implements to combat fear and anxiety, and how she maintains obedience and courage in the face of intimidation. This is a good one to listen to, especially with your kids! Thank you all for tuning in to such an incredible year of conversations!

Have you ever tried to explain the Holy Spirit? Today's conversation with Jeannie Cunnion is rich with wisdom and insight for all who want to get to know the Spirit of God that Jesus has promised to us.
