Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

In today’s season 2 finale we are weeks away from Bethany giving birth to our fifth child. We thought it would be timely to share some of our thoughts on birth. With having our firstborn at a hospital with an epidural and the following three with midwives at a birthing center, we have seen how drastically different birth can be. Tune in to hear Jake’s unique take on the role of birth partner and how to truly be helpful. Listen as Bethany shares her thoughts on dealing with anxiety leading up to birth and handling contractions. How should the Christian couple view birth and God? What are some scriptures to pray through during labor? Join us as we dive into the this topic!

Ep. 33 | The Christian's Role at the Poll Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

With elections just around the corner, we know there are a lot of emotions: excitement, anxiety, fear and hope to name a few. As Christians we know our identity is in Christ first and foremost. So where does voting land for the believer? What does the Bible have to say? Is there a wrong or right way to vote as Christ followers? We hope you'll join us as we pull back the curtain on how we approach election season and share some practical, and more importantly, biblical questions we can all ask ourselves before we hit the polls.

Show notes

“Should Christians celebrate Halloween?” That is the question you probably see posted all over social media currently. While many articles and episodes will take a look into the past and origins of Halloween, we wanted to step back and share a different perspective. There is a lot more to why our family chooses to not celebrate Halloween and it goes beyond history. Join us in today’s episode as we share about our childhood and Halloween, why we came to the decision to not celebrate and learn about alternate ideas of what to do on Halloween.
