    Joel 2:24-26 

    "The threshing floors will be filled with grain;

    the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

    I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—

    the great locust and the young locust,
    the other locusts and the locust swarm—
    my great army that I sent among you.

    You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,

    and you will praise the name of the Lord your God,
    who has worked wonders for you;
    never again will my people be shamed."

  • Ep 12 - Quitting Jobs + Overcommitting

    In the first episode of our new series “Discovering Self”, Haley and Katie Rae sit down to talk about the transitions they’re facing right now. As Haley enters motherhood and Katie Rae leaves her full-time job to pursue passions and creativity, they chat about how they’ve rediscovered who they are amidst these new seasons. 


    While change in life is natural and good, our desires and dreams often remain true to who we are, and it can feel like we are losing a part of ourself when we face change, challenge, loss, and more. 


    Their conversation centers around finding the things that are joyful and beautiful in each season, and how we can hold on to the things that we love while also making room for the good things that new change brings.
