Amanda McNeil and her husband Justin had been integral figures in Micah's and my life. They are our counselors, they are our friends, they are people we respect as spouses, parents, and more importantly, humans. Amanda is not only scholastically qualified when it comes to the ins and outs of grief but personally qualified because of her story and what she's gone through. Whether you've experienced grief or not this is a powerful conversation that will get you thinking about how you see God, which in our experience is the fruit from which everything in our life flows. We pray this conversation blesses you!

We have been DYING to meet Cost n' Mayor for years now, so we were so excited about this conversation! They are just as fun, genuine, and hilarious as you'd think they'd be. We had a ball chatting about the beginnings of their relationship, show business, working with your spouse, their Off-Broadway show that's in the works, balloons (you gotta watch the video to fully appreciate that last one!) and so much more. If you're looking for a mood booster, this conversation is the one for you!

This week we are talking about dating in marriage. Now that we are parents, it has become more important to us than ever to prioritize moments that are focused on the building of our marriage. We have dated in seasons of minimal time, minimal money, minimal privacy...all three at the same time lol and we get into some of the practical ways we kept it a priority no matter what our circumstances brought. We also chat some of our most memorable dates, some of our simplest dates and why we consider a walk with our son in tow to be one of our current favorite "date moments".

Mary Marantz is the bestselling author of Dirt, Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots, and now, Underestimated! We learned SO MUCH from her in our conversation about how to name and stop the cycles of fear that hold us back from all God has for us. We get into topics such as why boredom can lead to breakthrough, how our brain can accurately predict our odds of success based on past experiences, and how we can CHANGE that experience to up those odds. Get out a notepad for this one because Mary gives tons of tangible tips that can be applied no matter where you're at in your journey!
