Study the Bible With Us: Martha & Mary (You're Exhausted Because You're Carrying Things You Weren't Meant To) 02.06.2026 30минIn this episode of our Daughters Series, we unpack the powerful story of Mary and Martha and discover why this familiar Bible story still has so much to teach us. We talk about the tension between doing things for Jesus and simply being with Him, the danger of burnout and performance-based faith, and the beautiful invitation Jesus gives every daughter to sit at His feet. We also explore one of the most moving moments in Scripture—Jesus weeping with Mary after the death of Lazarus—and what it reveals about His heart toward our pain, disappointment, and grief. Finally, we look at Mary's extravagant act of worship and uncover a powerful pattern throughout her life: every time we see Mary, she's found at the feet of Jesus. Whether you're feeling busy, burned out, heartbroken, or simply longing for more of God's presence, we hope this conversation reminds you that the posture of a daughter is always found at the feet of Jesus.

Study the Bible With Us: Mary (Saying Yes When You Have No Idea What You're Getting Into) 26.05.2026 28минIn this episode, we dive into the story of Mary and unpack what it really looked like for her to say a wholehearted “yes” to God. We talk about how Mary responded with trust instead of fear when the angel Gabriel told her she would carry Jesus, and how her curiosity and surrender opened the door for God to move in miraculous ways. From the stable in Bethlehem to the foot of the cross, Mary’s life reminds us what it means to faithfully follow Jesus through the beautiful, confusing, ordinary, and heartbreaking moments. We also get super honest about the tension of trusting God when life feels unclear. From navigating relationships and fear to letting go of control and choosing faith over anxiety, we reflect on how Mary continually brought her heart to God instead of running from Him. If you’re in a season where you’re asking God for clarity, courage, or deeper trust, we hope this conversation leaves you feeling encouraged to lean in closer and say yes to wherever He’s leading you.

Study the Bible With Us: Ruth (When the Life You Planned Falls Apart) 19.05.2026 27минWe’re diving into the story of Ruth in session three of our Daughters study—and wow, her story is so much more than just a love story with Boaz. We talk about what it looks like to leave behind comfort and familiarity in order to follow where God is leading, even when it feels scary, uncertain, or lonely. Ruth’s brave “yes” reminds us that some of the most beautiful moves of God in our lives happen on the other side of obedience. We also get honest about friendships and relationships that get hard. Through Ruth and Naomi’s story, we unpack the power of staying faithful in unexpected relationships instead of walking away when things feel messy. Mac and Kenz even share a vulnerable story from their own friendship and how God used a difficult season to create deeper unity and trust. And finally, we talk about redemption. Ruth’s life began with heartbreak and loss, but God slowly and faithfully transformed her story through everyday obedience, humility, and trust. If you’re walking through disappointment, confusion, grief, or a season where God feels distant, this episode is a reminder that He is still writing your story—and He loves to turn broken pieces into something beautiful.

Our Husbands Give You Their Best Dating Advice 24.02.2026 58минOkayyyy this one was FUN. 💌 In the spirit of our Valentine’s series, we brought in the real experts — our husbands — to answer your dating questions. And let’s just say… they did not hold back. From slow texters and “is he into me?” confusion, to crushes that might be idols (yikes 😅), to dating your ex’s best friend (double yikes??), we covered it all. We talked about insecurity, confidence, communication, rejection, equal yoking, and what healthy pursuit actually looks like. The boys shared honestly about what it means to pursue with clarity, why you should never have to guess how a guy feels about you, and how important community and character really are. If you’re dating, thinking about dating, healing from dating, or just trying to not overthink dating — this episode is for you. We laughed a lot and hopefully left you feeling a little more confident, a little more grounded, and a lot more at peace.
