What We Wish We Knew: Graduating College, Getting Married Young, & Starting a Family

In this episode, we’re sharing the things we genuinely wish someone would have sat us down and told us before graduating college, getting married young, and starting a family. We talk about the transition from community-heavy Christian college life into the “real world,” navigating loneliness and change, learning communication early in marriage, practical wedding and registry advice, and the realities of stepping into adulthood faster than expected. We also dive into motherhood — what Abby wishes she knew before becoming a mom and how we as friends, family, and community can better support new moms in a tangible way. This episode feels like a big sister conversation full of practical wisdom, encouragement, and honest reflections for anyone stepping into a new season of adulthood.

God Still Does Miracles: Moving Out of State, Expecting A Baby Soon, & Trusting God in the Unknown

This week’s episode is a life update from both of us as we step into big, unknown seasons. Faith shares about moving out of state, Abby shares about preparing to welcome a new baby soon, and we both reflect on what it looks like to trust God when the future feels uncertain. We talk honestly about prayers that aren’t answered the way we expect, how sometimes God provides shelter in the storm rather than removing the storm itself, and the quiet ways He proves His faithfulness in transition. This is a hopeful, faith-filled conversation about change, trusting the Lord in the in-between, and looking ahead with expectation for what He’s doing in both of our lives.

Why Even Follow Jesus Anymore?: Hypocritical Christians, Our Testimonies, & Unity in Diverse Beliefs

In this episode, we answer some of the biggest questions we’ve asked about faith, following Jesus, and what it actually looks like to live as a Christian in everyday life. We share our testimonies, talk about the turning points that deepened our walks with the Lord, and discuss why we still choose Jesus—even in hard seasons. We also dive into the challenges of the Christian life, what might deter people from faith, and what we believe Gen Z especially needs to understand about who Jesus truly is. From faith-centered marriage and raising kids without legalism, to navigating dry seasons, unity among believers with differing theology, and how to move from coasting to growing, this conversation is honest, encouraging, and deeply practical for anyone wanting a more rooted, lived-out faith.

The Truth about Influencer Culture: Navigating Social Media, Crunchy Influencers, & Raw Honesty

In this episode, we’re taking an honest look at influencer culture and the subtle ways social media shapes what we buy, how we think, and how we see our own lives. From “crunchy” wellness trends to perfectly curated homes and routines, we talk about the comparison trap, the marketing behind the content, and the reality that many influencers are being paid well to sell a lifestyle. We share practical ways to engage with social media without losing your peace, how to recognize when content is influencing you more than you realize, and how to step back with discernment instead of cynicism. Most importantly, we talk about how to anchor your heart in biblical hope and contentment in a world constantly trying to convince you that you need more.

Full-Time Ministry & Marriage: Finding Balance, Navigating Community, & Living a Jesus-Centered Life with Caroline Hicks

In this episode, we sit down with Caroline Hicks for a conversation on full-time ministry, marriage, and what it looks like to build a Christ-centered life in the midst of both. Caroline shares insight into her experience navigating marriage while living a life of ministry, including the everyday rhythms that shape their relationship — from the simple joys (like sharing a fridge!) to the deeper ways marriage reflects the gospel and grows our understanding of it. We also talk practically about balancing ministry and marriage, navigating community, and offering wisdom for couples where one spouse is serving in vocational ministry. This conversation is full of encouragement, real-life perspective, and a beautiful reminder of God’s faithfulness in ordinary and sacred rhythms alike.
