EP 62: 4 Ways to Lead Yourself Spiritually

As schedules shift and summer routines take over, it's easy for our spiritual lives to drift into autopilot. In this episode, Whitney and Scott sit down with pastor Daniel Moore to explore what it means to intentionally lead yourself spiritually. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, Daniel shares four practices that have shaped his own walk with Christ: communing with God through his Word, recognizing areas of self-deception, using our gifts to build up the church, and living with an eternal perspective as we anticipate Christ's return.

EP 61: Mistaking Busyness for Godliness

In a culture that rewards productivity and constant striving, what does it actually mean to rest in God? Whitney and Scott sit down with Micaela Sanders to talk about weariness, Sabbath, abiding in Christ, and learning to trust God in the middle of difficult circumstances. They unpack the difference between being productive and being fruitful, how Sabbath reshapes our relationship with time, and how God meets us not by removing us from hardship, but by being present with us in it.
