Salty Life Podcast

Ep #38: Being Content No Matter The Circumstance w/ Troy & Shannon Allan

Our Season 3 Finale is Here! Troy and Shannon Allan exemplify what being the "Salt of the Earth" is really all about.  You might not be able to find their house unless you knew exactly where you were going, but you can see the reflection of the light that lives within them from miles away.   Troy is an independent Farmer and has been farming his entire career.  Troy provides some really neat insight into what their family operation looks like on a day-to-day basis. With all of the dangers that come with this occupation, Troy has faced life threatening injuries in his career. This took quite a toll on Troy but in these moments he found himself being pushed into a more complete reliance on the Lord. Shannon is a do-it-all kind of person. Whether its operating small businesses or planning two weddings at one time (what?!), she can do it all. However, she has been faced with many other challenges as well outside of supporting Troy during his injuries. She found out she had cancer just before she gave birth to their first child.  Shannon gives us a full perspective on how God used this time to draw her to His plan and away from her own.  This only scratches the surface, this is a dynamic episode. Don't forget the quirks and reccomendations at the end.  Also, Troy can't taste food any longer. We had so many questions! You will love the Allans!

Ep #37: Building a Foundation w/ Luke and Lexie Pittman

Meet Luke and Lexie Pittman! This couple is a jack of all trades, together and separately.  Luke is an engineer by trade but has multiple side businesses including a media company and a pest service.  Lexie is the founder and owner of her own hair salon and boutique.   They both share about being small business owners and how that impacts their life everyday.  They have two children and they somehow found time to spend an hour with us, and we are so thankful they did! Time is obviously a big topic for them and admittedly they kind of figure it out as they go. However, the important things have to always be intentional. They walk us through how they prioritize their Faith, Family, and Community.  It doesn't always look the same, but you will find it extremely refreshing to hear both of their genuine takes.  In an effort to reach others who may be going through the same thing, they both share about an extreme time of grief when they lost their first child.  They walk us through those moments and how their foundation led them to the only one who could touch their pain, Jesus.  You do not want to miss this gripping story as they vulnerably share their life then and how it impacts their life today. OfCourse we end the episode with their quirks and get both of their recommendations/advice. You will love the Pittmans!

Ep #36: Breaking The Huddle w/ Steven and Leah Fitts

Meet Steven and Leah Fitts! This dynamic couple gives us all a full hour of motivation and PEP.   Along with their three children, they break the huddle every morning to accomplish what their Lord has in store from them that day.  This can even start with blasting early morning music on the speakers to get everyone going. As former athletes, they take what they learned on the field or in the gym to everyday life.  Steven is a part of a unique family business that his parents began when he was young. Leah is a real estate agent and now has her own home decor business.  As if their time was spoken for enough, they decided to build their own home. That's Right! Not just have it built, but Steven was the main contractor and architect on the home.  This wasn't a solo project, Leah and the kids had to pitch in as well. They walk us through this process and what their children learned through it all. Leah also shares about losing her Mom and putting her career on pause to spend the last couple years with her. You will find this story very touching.  Steven and Leah also share about their journey with one of their children who was born with Down Syndrome.  Hear about the absolute joy their daughter has brought them and how God used this to bring each of them closer to Him as well.  All this and so much more in one jam-packed episode. You will love the Fitts!
