Today is such a SPECIAL day because my brand-new 40-day devotional, The Abiding Way, is officially OUT NOW!! 🥹 ORDER MY NEW DEVOTIONAL THE ABIDING WAY
In today's episode, we're talking about something that completely transformed my relationship with Jesus: ABIDING IN HIM. Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right Christian things—reading your Bible, going to church, praying, serving—but still feel spiritually dry, exhausted, or disconnected from God? I've been there, and I want you to know that Jesus never called us to a life of constant striving and performing.
I dive into John 15 and unpacking what it really means to remain connected to Jesus, surrender every area of our lives, embrace the uncomfortable pruning seasons, and bear fruit that actually lasts. I'm also sharing some personal stories about motherhood, people-pleasing, spiritual burnout, and how God taught me that He doesn't just want me to do things FOR Him—He wants me to do life WITH Him.
My prayer is that this episode reminds you that you don't have to earn God's love. You already have it. He wants your heart, not your performance. So whether you're in a season of waiting, struggling with sin, or simply longing to feel close to Jesus again, this one's for you.
I love you guys so much! Let's stop striving and start abiding! 🤍

For The Christian Girl Who's Secretly Struggling…
Tuesday, October 20, 2026 • Duration 48:07
Girl, this episode is for you if you've been secretly struggling but feel like you have to pretend everything is okay because you're a Christian. 🤍
I want to remind you that you can love Jesus with your whole heart and still have hard days. You can feel lonely, spiritually dry, overwhelmed, or even question your faith, and that doesn't mean you're failing as a Christian.
In today's episode, we're getting REAL about the pressure to have it all together, comparison, feeling behind in life, struggling to find genuine friendships, and turning our relationship with God into another checklist. I'm sharing some of my own struggles and what I've learned about surrendering control, being vulnerable, trusting God's timing, and choosing to abide in Jesus instead of constantly striving for perfection.
My prayer is that this episode reminds you that you are not alone, you don't have to earn God's love, and you don't have to wait until your life looks perfect to come to Him. God wants your heart, not your performance.
Love you guys!

We Asked 100 Men What They’ve NEVER Told Their Wives… (It’s even worse than the women)
Tuesday, October 13, 2026 • Duration 59:08
Kaleb and I are back with PART TWO of our marriage confessions series, and y'all… the husbands did NOT hold back! 😂
After hearing what 100 women have been hiding from their husbands, it's time to hear the men's side, and some of these confessions are actually WILD. From secret gambling winnings and fake Bible studies to hidden bachelor parties, pornography struggles, and husbands who secretly hate their wives' cooking… we truly did not know what we were getting into!
Kaleb and I are reacting to these confessions, sharing some of our own marriage stories, and having some very real conversations about honesty, trust, boundaries, and what it means to protect your marriage. And let's just say… I may have accidentally confessed to something involving Kaleb's favorite hats that did NOT go over well. LOL. 🫣
But seriously, marriage should be a safe place where you feel fully known, loved, and respected. There's a difference between protecting your spouse's feelings and keeping secrets that could damage your relationship. Our hope is that this episode encourages you to communicate openly, extend grace, and build a marriage rooted in honesty and God's truth.

We Asked 100 Women What They’ve NEVER Told Their Husbands.. (It’s Shocking!)
Tuesday, October 6, 2026 • Duration 52:05
Okay y’all… this episode is JUICY. 😂 Kaleb and I asked women to anonymously share the things they would never tell their husbands, and some of these confessions genuinely had us speechless.
We’re talking everything from secretly checking an ex’s Instagram every week, hiding how much money you actually spend, not liking your husband’s family, workplace crushes, past relationships, intimacy, and even… secretly giving away the family cat and telling your husband it ran away. 😭
Kaleb and I share where we personally draw that line in our marriage, why accountability matters when temptation enters the picture, how comparison can quietly hurt intimacy, and why honesty—even when it’s uncomfortable—is so important for building trust.

Today we’re talking about everything I think we need to leave behind this fall: productivity guilt, doom scrolling instead of having hobbies, being reachable 24/7, performing our lives instead of actually living them… and yes, decorating for Christmas WAY too early. Plus, I’m answering your questions at the end! Grab a coffee, go on a walk, and let’s catch up. 🤎

Asking a Pastor Controversial Questions You’re Afraid To Ask
Tuesday, September 22, 2026 • Duration 01:21:33
Okay you guys, this episode is a GOOD one. Kaleb and I are sitting down with Pastor Luke Lezon and putting him in the hot seat with some of the questions Christians are actually asking—but sometimes feel afraid to say out loud.
We talk about everything from Christians drinking alcohol, pastors drinking, and expensive church buildings, merch, politics, predestination vs. free will, women pastors, and what it looks like to actually stand on biblical truth without becoming overly critical of everyone around you.
We loved this conversation because it reminded us that we don't have to be scared of hard questions. We can wrestle with Scripture, have disagreements, use wisdom and discernment, and still keep Jesus at the center. My hope is that this episode encourages you to dig into the Word for yourself, extend more grace to other believers, and focus less on winning arguments and more on genuinely following Jesus.

Opening Up About My Past Marriage 10 Years Later…
Tuesday, September 15, 2026 • Duration 01:11:21
Ten years later, I’m finally ready to share a part of my story that I’ve carried quietly for a long time: my past marriage and annulment.
In this episode, I’m opening up about being 21, feeling isolated and unsure of myself, and finding myself in a toxic relationship that ultimately led me to make decisions I never thought I would make. I share about the pressure, shame, fear, loss of purity, and secrecy I carried—and how those things kept me stuck far longer than I should have been.
But I more importantly want to highlight how God met me in one of the darkest seasons of my life, how my family, friends, counseling, and community helped me find the courage to leave, and how Jesus slowly freed me from the shame I thought would define me forever.
If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you, like you’ve messed up too badly, or like you’re trapped in a relationship you know isn’t healthy, I hope my story reminds you that you are never too far gone. There is freedom. There is healing. There are second chances. And your worst decision does not have to become your identity.
God really can make beauty from ashes, and I’m so grateful I get to look back 10 years later and see just how much He has redeemed.

My Husband Opens Up About His Battle with ADHD and Medication…
Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • Duration 01:00:24
Kaleb is back on the pod, and you guys… we covered A LOT 😂 We’re officially back home, law school year two is underway, and life honestly feels so much more peaceful and settled than it did this time last year.
Kaleb opens up for the first time about having diagnosed ADHD, his experience taking medication, why he decided to step away from it for now, and the habits that have been helping him manage his days differently. We also talk about why there should be ZERO shame around getting the help you need, how sleep and scrolling affect us, and why we have officially decided that late-night marriage conversations are just… not it. 😂
Then, naturally, we get into some internet insanity: the girl who allegedly faked going to PA school for TWO YEARS, a fake NFL player scam, and the AI content taking over social media. We also talk about protecting your mind from constantly consuming darkness online, my desire to keep learning as a mom, and why sometimes you really do need to put the phone down, get outside, read your Bible, and guard what you're allowing into your spirit.
So grab your drink and hang out with us! 🤎

Why Being a Christian Feels Harder Than Ever Before…. I’m Worried
Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • Duration 45:09
Okay you guys, I have THOUGHTS on this one. 😂 The Christian social media landscape has been feeling a little exhausting lately, and I think we need to talk about it.
In this episode, I’m unpacking why Christianity can sometimes feel so complicated online when, in real life, following Jesus is meant to bring freedom, joy, peace, and transformation. Somewhere along the way, I think we’ve started confusing personal convictions with biblical commands, turning faith into a performance, and putting pressure on people to look like the “perfect Christian” before God has even had time to work in their hearts.
We’re talking about everything from Christian comment sections and publicly correcting people to comparison, aesthetic quiet times, personal convictions, drinking, spiritual gifts, serving your community, and what Romans 14 actually says about disputable matters.
God cares so much more about your heart than your perfectly curated Christian routine. His ways are not burdensome, and following Him was never supposed to be another exhausting performance.
Let’s be people who care about truth AND grace, who lovingly point people back to Christ, and who trust the Holy Spirit to do the convicting only He can do. 🤍

Things I Stopped Caring About in My 30s (And You Should Too)
Tuesday, August 25, 2026 • Duration 43:27
Okay you guys, I’m 32, I’m a mom, and there are officially some things I simply do not care about anymore 😂 In this episode, I’m sharing the things I’ve slowly let go of as I’ve gotten older—from keeping up with every fashion trend and holding onto friendships I’ve outgrown, to having the “perfect” quiet time, knowing every piece of internet drama, and putting crazy pressure on myself with fitness and food.
More than anything, I’ve realized how sweet life becomes when you stop living for everyone else’s approval and start slowing down enough to actually enjoy what God has given you. We talk about protecting your peace, choosing friendships that are faithful and life-giving, letting your relationship with Jesus be genuine instead of aesthetic, and embracing a healthier, more sustainable way of living.
