Send a text 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, sh...
Send a text Who is “Dave,” you ask? And why are we cheersing to him? Honestly… we’re not quite sure. He may be real. He may be a metaphor. We’ll let you decide. This week, we’re going completely off-script and having some fun — talking about things like why Christians should actually be fun, our thoughts on random cliché quotes, and marriage green flags (which Bethany may or may not fully understand). There may not be a life-changing takeaway in this episode — but if we can make your we...

Send a text "Boyhood is not a disease." Boys deserve to know they're not broken—that their energy, curiosity, and desire to test limits aren't flaws but strengths to be channeled. Parents aren't alone in this battle to resurrect boyhood, and small steps forward can lead to raising men who fulfill God's purpose for their lives.

This candid conversation with Elizabeth Dixon cuts through the confusion to reveal how defining your purpose transforms decision-making from overwhelming to crystal clear.

Send a text Ever feel that tug-of-war between wanting to open your home and also just wanting a quiet, clean space? Us too. Summer has this way of stirring things up — kids are out of school, the backyard suddenly becomes the neighborhood hotspot, and somehow your house turns into the unofficial sleepover headquarters. So how do we prepare our homes and hearts for hospitality? In this episode, we’re taking an honest look at the mess and the ministry of hospitality. We’re sharing five simple t...
Send a text When is the last time you have invited someone into your home to sit down and dive into the parts of life that go deeper than everyday conversation? If this isn’t something that you do, or have done recently, what’s holding you back? Is it space? Is it clutter? Is it fear of what people might see when you let your walls down? For me, at one point or another it’s been all of those things, and I know I’m not alone in that. That’s why I’m so excited to share today’s conversation with...
Send a text What if paying off debt didn’t mean putting life on hold? This month we knocked out some debt, paid off a line of credit, and finally feel the snowball rolling. It’s gonna take a few years—and that's okay. We’re in it for the long haul without putting life on hold. Instead of extreme cuts that leave us burned out, we're learning to be intentional: letting the kids play sports (no $6 concession stand nachos for us), fixing up the backyard, and choosing joy where we can. Funny thing...
Send a text What if the hardest moments of motherhood weren’t something to escape—but a holy invitation? In this episode, we sit down with Whitney Newby, the heart behind Brighter Day Press, who opens up about the messy, beautiful collision of motherhood and faith. A former nurse turned homeschooling mama of four, Whitney shares how an early, overwhelming moment with her newborn led her to a deep realization: her own love and strength would never be enough—but God’s grace would be. With wisdo...
Send a text Remember when eye contact, please-and-thank-you, and real conversations were just... normal? These days, it feels like we’re raising kids in a world that’s slowly forgetting how to be human. We see it everywhere—from the cashier who barely looks up, to parents missing “watch me!” moments at the playground because they're glued to their phones. It’s not just about manners—it’s about teaching our kids how to truly connect. The good news? It doesn’t take much to turn the tide. Let yo...
Send a text What if the struggle you're avoiding is the very thing meant to make you stronger? Across the pages of the Bible, scripture doesn’t shy away from suffering. Instead, it calls us to embrace it, learn from it, and find joy in the middle of it. Because maybe pain isn’t punishment—it’s preparation. Jesus didn’t promise a trouble-free life. He promised victory through the struggle. And when He said, “Take up your cross and follow me,” he wasn’t inviting us to a life of ease. He was inv...
Send a text What are you doing with your tax refund this year? In this episode, we’re getting real about our financial journey—how small, consistent habits have helped us make meaningful progress in paying down debt. We kick things off with a fun game (yes, it involves singing—and no, we’re not auditioning for American Idol). Expect a few missed notes and a lot of laughs along the way. We also talk about the curveball we got during tax season when our refund didn’t come through as expected, r...
Send a text Be honest… Do you pee in the shower? Or are you now questioning every shared shower you’ve ever stepped foot in? This time on Parents Google Everything, we dive into some highly scientific research (aka Google) to uncover the surprising truth about bathroom habits across generations. But that’s just the beginning. We’re also talking about the unexpected yet powerful Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll collab on Hard Fought Hallelujah—why it matters, how it’s pushing Christians outsi...
Send a text What would happen if we stopped seeing foster care as someone else’s problem? Right now, there are nearly 400,000 children in the foster care system, and behind each number is a real child, a real family, a real story. In this episode, we’re sharing a bit about our own journey into foster care—what led us to say “yes” when so many step back, and why the fight for families is more urgent than ever. We dig into the hard truths about why families are struggling, the ripple effects on...
Send a text How would you define your relationship with money in your marriage—a seamless partnership, a constant tug-of-war, or something you avoid talking about altogether? In this episode, we’re getting real about marriage and money—because if there’s one thing that can test a relationship, it’s finances. We’re pulling back the curtain on our own experiences, sharing the lessons we’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) about handling bank accounts, tackling debt, and navigating different spe...
