This week we had the opportunity to talk with a good friend, Zach Ellens, about missions and other cultures. Zach spent a year in Guatemala and has been there on many different occasions and so we chatted about our experiences together. 

We are back after having to take a week off. This week we chose to talk about joy. Sometimes the reality of joy is misunderstood. We can experience joy in all circumstances, and that is what we seek to do as Christ-followers. 

This week we dove into a conversation regarding the motives behind the decisions we make within relationships. While we are not psychologists, we have learned to search ourselves in a way to become familiar with the underlying parts of our humanity that come out in our everyday lives. We are not experts at all, but I hope our exploration on this topic allows you to do your own soul searching. 

To kick off our first recording of 2022, we decided to discuss the role of authenticity in our lives. Too many times people think being authentic is the end goal, but it is just the half-way point. Where do we go from a place of authenticity is the conversation that needs to be had. That is when true growth can happen. I hope this conversation is helpful and encouraging for you this week. 

This week we had Mark back on our podcast to talk about his recent trip to Qatar to volunteer for the Arab World Cup. I hope you enjoy listening to Mark's story of learning and experiencing many new things. 

This week Haley had the opportunity to respond to some of our conversations around marriage. I truly hope this helps give more of a well rounded view of marriage with her input added. 

This week Shay took on the episode by himself for a follow-up to the marriage conversation from last week. This week Shay shared some of his thoughts regarding spiritual leadership and expectations we have of our marriage and our spouse. 

This week we decided to have a conversation around marriage. Marriage is not easy, and working on yourself is no cake walk either. We wanted to have an honest conversation about the different aspects of being married and being healthy. We truly hope this episode helps you as you process through these different areas of your own life, whether you are married or not. 

This week we hosted a friend of ours, Mark Winogrocki, to discuss autism and the Church. This is an important conversation to be having in order to help each individual feel seen, heard and cared for.  

This week Haley and Athaleyah had a short conversation. We hope this week's episode brings you some smiles and refresh your heart.
