How do we start rethinking our call to be rulers and have dominion over the earth? Taking on new pandemic hobbies and the glorious summertime has us thinking about this a lot. What are some simple ways you are taking care of the earth? We want to learn from what everyone is doing.

How are you identifying your strengths and celebrating your weaknesses? In your job? In your relationships? How are you using them to grow and understand the people in your life?

We're diving into a little dialogue about our strengths and weaknesses and laughing along the way.

Hi friends! Wow, it's been a crazy month (on top of a crazy year). Just wanted to slow down for a minute and check in. Here's a couple of life updates from us, a huge thank you for getting to connect with you, and a little prayer of blessing on your day.

Love you, friends!

What a treat to talk with fellow podcaster and friend, Michael Krebill. This conversation was so rich I just couldn't cut it short. Michael shared so much wisdom straight from scripture as well as history. We hope this dive through church history blesses you as much as it does us.

Be sure to check out Michael's podcast, We Shall Not Sleep, anywhere you get your podcast. Connect with him on Facebook at We Shall Not Sleep Podcast or send him an email at [email protected]

Happy listening!

Following up on our conversation about depression and anxiety, we've identified the problem so what do you do next? Now you've got to bring it to the light. That's starts with confession. But it's important to find safe people that will build you up and be helpful as you seek healing and emotional intimacy whether it's confessing a bad habit or confessing that you've been a victim of sexual abuse.

We love you and if you are struggling with trauma from sexual abuse or any other traumatic experience, please reach out to a trusted counselor as well as the safe people in your life.

Annette and Micah share their experiences with depression and anxiety including some coping mechanisms that work for them. Hopefully, this podcast can provide some encouragement that you are not alone.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts contact a medical professional immediately.

Micah and Annette talk about dating when you're single and ready to mingle. They dive into high school relationships, college dating, and "real world" dating. The big lesson we learned, there's just no blanket statement for how dating should work.

Jumping into another conversation about singleness. This time we're highlighting the opportunities that come along with being single. Micah and TJ share from a guy's perspective what it's like to be single in the church.

Singleness can seem like poison or an obsession in so many lives. But just like all seasons and relationship statuses, there are things to celebrate and grow from in seasons of singleness.

I (Annette) got to talk with my friend Christen and unpack some of our thoughts about what's helpful and unhelpful in seasons and decisions of singleness.

Hey! It's been a minute since we told you more about us. We had so much fun with our love story interviews and we're excited to dive into a couple of conversations about singleness. This week we're gonna talk about the things we're really enjoying right now. A few of our favorite things if you will. We hope you love some of these things too and maybe discover a couple of new ones. Let us know some of your favorites things on our Instagram or Facebook @thatswhatithoughtpodcast
