Today’s episode is all about play—not just with our kids, but in our own lives too.

And just like you might not parent or process like your spouse, you might not play like them either.

So today we’re walking through 8 play archetypes and reflecting on how knowing your own (or your kid’s) can bring more joy, less pressure, and better connection in everyday life.

🙏 Closing Prayer / Blessing (Archetype-Infused)

Lord,

You are the source of joy,

You laugh with the Jokers,

You move with the Kinesthetes,

You guide the Explorers,

You strengthen the Competitors,

You empower the Directors,

You delight the Collectors,

You create with the Artists,

And You speak through the Storytellers,

So help us remember:

Even here, even now—may we make space to play.

Inspired by the Ramit Sethi quote—“Spend extravagantly on the things you love, and cut costs mercilessly on the things you don’t”—this episode dives into the heart of values-based spending. We’re talking about how to ditch guilt, align your money with what truly matters to your family, and why it’s okay to love what you love. Plus: how this mindset has helped our marriage and changed the way we spend in both big and small ways.

Closing Liturgy / Prayer:

God who gives generously,

Teach us to love what we love without shame.

Help us release what no longer serves—

Remind us that wisdom looks like alignment,

And may our money—our time, our resources, our yeses—

On what matters.

Amen.

We’re celebrating 16 years of marriage with an honest conversation about how we’ve changed—and why that’s actually a good thing. From big shifts in values to small daily habits, we’re looking back at what’s surprised us, what’s helped us grow together instead of apart, and how our relationship has stayed both rooted and flexible. Plus: a few fun stories, some hard-won lessons, and encouragement for couples in any season.

Closing Liturgy / Prayer:

God who binds us in love,

Thank you for the gift of change.

Help us not to fear the ways we evolve—

Make our hearts tender,

And when it’s hard,

in year one,

Amen.

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re in a weird place—not quite here, not quite there. We’re talking about the awkward in-between: when school isn’t quite over, summer hasn’t really started, and your rhythms feel like they’re barely hanging on. We’re unpacking why this part of the year can feel especially chaotic, how we’re trying to reset without starting over, and why it’s okay to not have it all figured out. If you’re craving peace in the middle of the mess, you’re not alone—and this one’s for you.

Closing Liturgy / Prayer:

God of the in-between,

When our days blur, our rhythms falter, and our minds race to the next season—

Help us pause.

Teach us to breathe in what is, not just long for what’s next.

Remind us that grace lives here, too:

In the undone to-do lists.

In the almosts and not-quites.

May we find you not in perfection,

But in presence.

Not in control,

But in connection.

And may we walk gently, even here—

In the middle of the middle.

Amen.

In this episode of the walk in love. podcast, we’re getting honest about the things we’re currently saying no to—and why that matters more than ever. As the world speeds up with end-of-school chaos and summer busyness, we’re choosing to slow down and make space for what really matters.

From skipping gym days and perfectly clean houses to leaving texts unread a little longer, we’re sharing the small and big “nos” we’re leaning into as individuals, parents, and a family. We’ll also talk about the powerful trade-offs behind every no, the social pressure that comes with setting boundaries, and how to know when a no is the right call.

This episode is a gentle but clear reminder: every no is a yes to something else. What do you need to make room for?

✨ Includes:

The “Should I Say No?” Mini Formula

Encouragement for parents

Scripture + quotes on saying no

A peaceful liturgy for setting boundaries

🎧 Tune in + tell us your “no” in the comments or reviews!
