Send us Fan Mail Another week and another fun, real-life topic. This week we are diving into our thoughts that were sparked after a reel that Bethany posted took off on the internet. The result? Actually, some really good conversation. Listen in!

Send us Fan Mail Life lately, what God is teaching us, and an honest conversation about the season we’re in. Come catch up with us! Bethany's Instagram Watch Our Podcast On Youtube Raising Boys and Girls Episode Bethany Mentioned

Send us Fan Mail When I sat down to record this conversation with my grandma, I thought we were going to talk about being present with people and creating a home marked by hospitality. And while we absolutely talk about those things, this conversation became so much more than I expected. As we talked, I realized this episode is really about living an intentional life that chases after the heart of Jesus. It's about faithfully saying "yes" to the people, opportunities, and moments God places right in front of us every single day. Our culture constantly tells us that if we want to make an impact, we need to think bigger, do more, build a platform, or make our lives louder. But this conversation reminded me that God's Kingdom often works in the exact opposite way. The greatest impact is often found in quiet faithfulness. My grandma has spent her life living with open hands, an open home, and an open heart. She shares wisdom about hospitality, obedience, generosity, and what it looks like to trust God with the ordinary moments of life. Her story is a beautiful reminder that when we're faithful in the small things, God is faithful to use them for a much bigger purpose than we could ever imagine. I walked away from this conversation encouraged, challenged, and inspired, and I truly believe you will too. In this episode, we talk about: What biblical hospitality really looks likeLiving an intentional life centered on JesusWhy faithfulness matters more than recognitionFinding purpose in the everyday momentsThe eternal impact of simple obedienceWisdom from a life well livedTrusting God to multiply our ordinary "yeses"If this episode encourages you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend, leave a review, or send it to someone who needs the reminder that God often does His greatest work through our everyday faithfulness.

Send us Fan Mail A reminder we are telling ourselves daily: God has given us this family on purpose, and when we feel unequipped, we can bring that to Jesus instead of pretending we have it all together.  If you’re raising kids and trying to set healthy boundaries without losing connection, hit play, share this with a parent friend, and leave a review so more families can find it. What boundary are you holding right now that feels hardest to explain?

Send us Fan Mail If Ezekiel walked into your life and asked, “Can these bones live?”, what would you say? We sit with one of the most haunting scenes in Scripture, Ezekiel 37 and the Valley of Dry Bones. If you feel discouraged or far from God, hear this clearly: He’s not asking you to fake it, He’s inviting you to come back and let Him breathe life into you again.

Send us Fan Mail Comfort is everywhere now, and it is doing more parenting than we want to admit. We start with an example of a simple moment that says a lot: kids who think a “walk” means riding in a luxury wagon with snacks, music, and a canopy. It is funny, but it also raises a serious question for modern parenting: are we removing the very discomfort that builds resilience, character, and confidence? Subscribe, share this with a parent who feels the tension, and leave a review so more families can find it. What is one discomfort you are willing to let your kids experience this week?

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! This week, we are recapping after Bethany's second marathon. She is sharing what she's learned along her running journey and sharing some breaking news.

Send us Fan Mail We sat down with Tim Timmons to talk about I Can Only Imagine 2, some behind-the-scenes moments, and his new book Waking Up Again. But more than anything, this conversation is about what it looks like to actually live with purpose. From his cancer diagnosis to the everyday realities of faith and family, Tim shares what really matters and why we shouldn’t wait to start living fully. Get the book Waking Up Again Follow Tim on IG

Send us Fan Mail We recorded this one late at night, which means we’re too tired for a heavy topic and way more honest than usual. This week we are sharing a “coffee conversation” we all say we want: the questions that cut through small talk and get to what’s actually happening in our lives at home. We talk about what’s been quietly overwhelming, why stepping back from social media has helped our mental health, our marriage, and our ability to be present parents. From there we get practical about family life: when it’s healthy to lower your standards, how routines shift when seasons change, and why flexibility can be wisdom, not failure. Join us!

Send us Fan Mail This week, we dive deep into the reality of modern parenting—how it can strain your marriage, test your patience, and challenge your faith. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected from your spouse, or unsure how to raise your kids with intention, this video is for you. We talk about the shift from just surviving to truly thriving as a family, why intentional parenting matters more than ever, and how discipline—done right—can actually create peace in your home. You’ll also hear powerful insights on keeping your marriage strong while raising kids and what it looks like to live out your faith daily within your family. Whether you're a new parent or in the thick of raising kids, this conversation will encourage, challenge, and equip you.

Send us Fan Mail The fastest route isn’t always the safest route and sometimes the “detour” is where God does His best work. We’re unpacking the Exodus story where God leads the Israelites away from the main road and straight into a moment that looks impossible: Pharaoh’s army behind them and the Red Sea in front of them. If you’ve ever wondered why life feels harder than it needs to be, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan Mail This week, Lindsey Maestas joins us to unpack why long-term relationship success isn’t automatic, how the romantic ideal can quietly sabotage real life, and why many marriages don’t collapse in one explosive moment—but slowly, over time. We talk about the small choices, subtle shifts, and daily habits that shape a marriage far more than the big moments. If you’ve ever felt the tension between building a life you’re proud of and keeping your home steady, this conversation will hit close to home. This episode is honest, thoughtful, and full of perspective for anyone who cares about building a marriage that lasts.

Send us Fan Mail Marriage teaches you a lot—sometimes the hard way, sometimes in ways that make you laugh later. This week Corey and I celebrated 14 years of marriage, so we decided to hit record and share the first 14 lessons that came to mind. They’re honest, a little off-the-cuff, and definitely real life. Some might make you nod your head in agreement… others might make you think we’re completely nuts. 😅 Either way, if you’re married, hoping to be married, or just curious about what 14 years of figuring it out together looks like, this episode is for you. 🎧 Tune in and see which of these lessons you relate to most.

Send us Fan Mail If your home feels loud but strangely disconnected, you’re not imagining it. This week, we are unpacking six quiet forces that pull families apart—distraction, unending busyness, thin faith rhythms, isolation, marriage silence, and digital traps—and we offer simple, durable ways to push back. From dismantling the myth of multitasking to practicing a real Sabbath, we share how small shifts create big stability: a time budget for one week, a protected nightly check-in after 8:30, shared TV instead of isolated screens, and a daily anchor for Scripture and prayer that actually fits real life.
