In this episode, we start with vintage deer shirts, walking tacos, puppies, overflowing schedules, and the chaos of spring sports… and somehow end up in a deep conversation about fear, shame, mission trips, spiritual warfare, generosity, and surrendering control to God.

Erin shares honestly about the internal battle she faced leading up to her mission trip to Brazil, the fears she kept hidden, the lies she believed about not being “faithful enough,” and how God met her in the middle of it anyway.

We also talk about:

• what seeing poverty up close does to your perspective
• raising kids with generosity and gratitude
• why guilt and shame were never ours to carry
• the pressure we put on ourselves to “make things happen”
• how growth almost always comes through discomfort
• learning that obedience matters more than perfection

This conversation felt raw, honest, emotional, and incredibly important. We hope it reminds you that God’s power was never (and won't ever be) dependent on your perfection.

Scripture, perspective, puppies, and a little chaos — just the way we like it.
