We’re in a reading recession—and it’s affecting more than just our leisure time. Studies show reading levels have dropped drastically over the past 30 years… and for Christians, that matters. God gave us a Book. So how we read—and if we read—shapes how we know Him.

In this episode, we dive into:
- Why Christians should be readers
- How we should read
- What we should read

Plus, we share some of our favorite book recommendations to help you get started:

Bev’s picks:
Prayer – E.M. Bounds
Orthodoxy – G.K. Chesterton
The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life – Hannah Whitall Smith
The Knowledge of the Holy – A.W. Tozer

Delaney’s picks:
God the Son Incarnate – Stephen Wellum
Predestination: An Introduction – Andrew Naselli
A Divine Cordial – Thomas Watson
Gentle and Lowly – Dane Ortlund
…and some great debate-style theology reads

Listen in and be encouraged to read deeply, think clearly, and know God more. We need the Word—and we need to know it well.

We have another testimony of God’s good hand at work! Our women’s ministry recently sent a team to Cuba, and in this episode Bev and Delaney interview Kate Wolettz about the trip. From years of mission work in China to sharing the gospel in Cuba through water filters and Bibles, Kate’s story highlights God’s faithfulness and global mission. The team experienced God’s protection and clearly felt His presence throughout the entire trip—and they encountered people who were truly ripe and eager to hear the gospel, with many responding in faith as they partnered with the local church. Tune in and be encouraged by how God is powerfully moving in Cuba through our women’s ministry!

In this episode, we’re stepping back to look at the post-exilic books we studied this past year—Ezra, Nehemiah, Zechariah, Haggai, Esther, and Malachi—and honestly, these books have come alive to us in fresh ways! We’re tracing the major themes, following God’s good hand through each story, and seeing how these books build anticipation within the larger story of Scripture. Then at the end, we’ll tie it all together with key Old and New Testament connections that show why the theme of exodus is so central to our faith. If we miss how exodus shapes the Bible’s story, we miss something massive about how God rescues His people. Tune in to learn more!

Welcome Pastor Bob Coughlin to the show—men’s pastor at Grace Church, where he leads over 1,500 men in a movement centered on getting into the WORD together. In this episode, Bob gets real about how women can come alongside their brothers in Christ—offering practical wisdom for wives, sisters, daughters, and friends on how to pray, support, and encourage. He even drops some honest (and helpful) dating advice.

We dive into what men are struggling with right now, how discipleship is shaping real transformation, and what happens when men challenge each other to grow in the WORD. You’ll also hear how that transformation spills over into families, churches, and entire communities—and why affirming godly male leadership matters more than ever. If you care about seeing men grow in Christ and strengthening the church as a whole, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.

In this episode, we’re diving into the world of social media. Joined by Stephanie Armstrong and Tavia Low, we talk about what it looks like for Christians to engage online with wisdom, intention, and integrity. This is a huge topic — and while we can’t cover everything, this conversation is packed with practical insights to help you navigate your digital spaces well. As Christians, how we show up online matters. We also explore what it means to be an a-typical woman — hidden in Christ and set apart because of Him. Our identity isn’t shaped by trends, attention, or algorithms, but by who we are in Christ. That changes how we speak, what we share, and why we show up at all. At the heart of it all? Discretion. Being led by conviction. Seeking wisdom from the Lord in every post, comment, and conversation. If you’re on social media — or thinking about it — this episode is for you.

Today, we’re joined by Juan Cuevas for an honest conversation about singleness—the tension of wanting marriage while learning to embrace the season you’re in. We dive into dating, the pressures singles face, and what it really looks like to glorify God wherever He has you. Juan serves as the young adults pastor and leads the ministry known as “The Co.,” and he brings practical wisdom and encouragement for every stage of life. Whether you’re single, dating, or married, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to grow deeper in your walk with the Lord.

Today we’re talking about beauty, modesty, and homemaking. Join Bev and Delaney for a cozy coffee chat as they explore what God’s Word really says about these topics. God is the very definition of beauty—beauty exists because He does. In the same way, God created women with a natural bend toward home, reflecting Him in how they cultivate it… and it might not mean exactly what you think. And modesty? It’s meant to be a reflection of a heart that honors God. We pray this conversation encourages you and invites you into a thoughtful, grace-filled coffee chat with us.

In this episode, we sit down with Paul and Bev Coniaris, who have been joyfully married for over 50 years. Their marriage is firmly centered on Christ, and there is so much to learn from their story—whether you’re single, dating, or married. Paul and Bev share how God has been faithful through every season of their marriage and how building their lives on the solid rock has sustained them. This conversation is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical lessons for godly relationships and marriages.
