This week we are chatting REST! Why is it so hard for most of us, how are our relationships effected when we can't do it effectively, and how can we get better at it? If you struggle to rest, we relate and this one is for you. We love you all!

As I (Sarah) was heading to a massage the other day I was wondering if men experience parental guilt when they take time for themselves the way I know that so many women do. So I decided to ask Micah about this and we have a candid conversation about how parental guilt differs but can also feel very much the same for both men and women. We hope this encourages someone out there. We love you!

Micah has been dealing with chronic pain for years and today we are unpacking how persistent pain/illness effects not just your day-to-day mentality, but if you're praying for healing and not receiving it, your prayer life and faith as well. We also touch on losing loved ones who you've prayed to be healed and how our understanding of God's character can make or break the way we look at and experience life. We hope this encourages and uplifts you!

Before having a baby we knew so little that we didn't even know what to ask those experienced parents around us. Today we're talking through the things we wish we would've asked and known that would've made our transition into parenthood just a liiiiiittle bit smoother :)

Last Episode of the year and the season! We continue our discussion from last week moving into the habits and faith component of being new parents. We dive into how we are learning to form new disciplines and ways of worshiping God with less free time (and more exhaustion, ha!) than we had before. We also talk transparently about how difficult it can be to remain present in the now and how we are working to rewire our brains to be better at it. Plus a chat about our favorite Christmas movies and why some classics that most people love don't make our lists.

Micah gets fired up this week! We have a candid conversation about some of the identity struggles we've had becoming parents and how we've been able to re-frame them. How you think about things can change everything, and we discuss some of the tools and mindsets that have helped us in this transitional season.

We have had many twists and turns in our lives, especially right as we crossed paths. We re-live our story of overcoming...grief, trauma, self-images in need of repair and the path we both took to healing. We pray that despite whatever you're going through or have gone through, you know you're not alone in your path to overcoming and healing. We love you all so very much!

In 6 weeks of parenthood we already feel we have been refined by God in a number of ways. New levels of selfishness, people pleasing tendencies, and being run by a to-do list are just a few of the things that have been rapidly stripped away by our new little bundle. Whether you're a parent or not, we hope sharing some of what God has taught us in this new season will bring you value.
