In this episode, we’re diving into the world of social media. Joined by Stephanie Armstrong and Tavia Low, we talk about what it looks like for Christians to engage online with wisdom, intention, and integrity. This is a huge topic — and while we can’t cover everything, this conversation is packed with practical insights to help you navigate your digital spaces well. As Christians, how we show up online matters. We also explore what it means to be an a-typical woman — hidden in Christ and set apart because of Him. Our identity isn’t shaped by trends, attention, or algorithms, but by who we are in Christ. That changes how we speak, what we share, and why we show up at all. At the heart of it all? Discretion. Being led by conviction. Seeking wisdom from the Lord in every post, comment, and conversation. If you’re on social media — or thinking about it — this episode is for you.
Today, we’re joined by Juan Cuevas for an honest conversation about singleness—the tension of wanting marriage while learning to embrace the season you’re in. We dive into dating, the pressures singles face, and what it really looks like to glorify God wherever He has you. Juan serves as the young adults pastor and leads the ministry known as “The Co.,” and he brings practical wisdom and encouragement for every stage of life. Whether you’re single, dating, or married, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to grow deeper in your walk with the Lord.
Today we’re talking about beauty, modesty, and homemaking. Join Bev and Delaney for a cozy coffee chat as they explore what God’s Word really says about these topics. God is the very definition of beauty—beauty exists because He does. In the same way, God created women with a natural bend toward home, reflecting Him in how they cultivate it… and it might not mean exactly what you think. And modesty? It’s meant to be a reflection of a heart that honors God. We pray this conversation encourages you and invites you into a thoughtful, grace-filled coffee chat with us.
In this episode, we sit down with Paul and Bev Coniaris, who have been joyfully married for over 50 years.

This conversation is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical lessons for godly relationships and marriages.

We’re diving deep into the breathtaking doctrine of God’s PROVIDENCE. What is it? It’s not just that God knows the future—He plans it, He provides for it, He rules every detail of it. Sovereignty is who God IS… Providence is what God DOES. From the tiniest sparrow to the rise and fall of empires, nothing escapes His caring, sovereign hand—even evil itself bows to His purposes. We’ll walk through five big questions:What exactly is God’s providence?How minutely detailed is it?How can a good God be in control when evil rages?How does providence shine in the post-exilic books of the Old Testament?And where does it reach its stunning climax? In the gospel itself.Then we'll be applying: What difference does this truth make for your anxiety, your suffering, your everyday life right now?You don’t want to miss this one. Listen to learn more!
What if the most dangerous thing in your life right now isn’t what you think—but the quiet lie that you can be truly content without God? We’re constantly told that just one more purchase, one more upgrade, one more notification will finally make us feel “enough,” yet materialism is the exact opposite of biblical contentment—it’s a treadmill that keeps you running but never arriving. In this brand-new episode, Delaney and Bev open Scripture to expose that lie and reveal the life-giving truth: godliness with contentment is great gain and the truest freedom you’ll ever know. They’ll show you from Scripture what real, soul-deep contentment actually looks like, what it’s not, and—most importantly—how to grab hold of it when everything around you feels like it’s falling apart. If you’re exhausted from chasing peace that vanishes the moment the package is opened, come listen. The Bible promises a contentment that doesn’t shift with your circumstances, your shopping cart, or your feelings… and it’s only, ever, found in Him. New episode is out now—your restless heart needs this one.
Feeling hopeless? The world can crush that spark fast—but Romans 15:13 has a word for us today. In this episode, Delaney and Bev zoom into the verse, breaking it down to: the who of hope, character of hope, how of hope, and practice of hope. For the Christian, hope is SURE and tied to God Himself. So, this is your jolt: from hopelessness to Spirit-filled, unshakable hope. Dive in to learn more!

Join us as we explore the book of Haggai, where the prophet urges us to "consider our ways" in light of priorities, promises, holiness, and the coming "day."
