Walking with Kelley and Kristy

As we enter the third week of Advent, we turn our attention to JOY, but not the surface-level joy we often associate with the Christmas season. Advent reminds us that real joy is often born in places of longing, waiting, and even hardship. The joy of Scripture is not loud or flashy; it’s steady, surprising, and rooted in the presence of God. The prophet Isaiah spoke of a coming joy when he wrote, “The desert and the parched land wi...

As we step into this Advent week focused on Peace, many of us are already feeling the chaos of the Christmas season. In the middle of all the noise, Jesus reminds us, “My peace I give you… Do not let your hearts be troubled” (John 14:27). And Isaiah calls Him the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6)—not just for quiet moments, but for real life, right in the mess and busyness. So today, we want to take a breath together, slow everything do...

On today's episode we are joined by David and Kim McAlhaney. They share their beautiful testimony of longing and waiting to be parents, a HOPE and dream they never gave up on, and a continued faith they place in CHRIST alone. Their story is a great encouragement to us  - as we wait with the HOPE of CHRIST too!

Hope is the unwavering confidence that because God is faithful, good, and unchanging, we can trust Him with every tomorrow....

Psalm 100:4 says, ‘Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.’ So as we gather with family this Thanksgiving, let’s not just pass the turkey and the pie, but also pass on gratitude—speaking life, encouragement, and love into one another. Because gratitude doesn’t just honor God—it builds stronger families and deeper connections. 

The hymn “Count Your Blessings” has a beautiful and encouraging history that ties pe...

Today we’re turning our hearts and our attention on the beauty of marriage and family by honoring the incredible role of a Godly, selfless mother. Her love weaves through so many seasons— whether she is caring for little ones at home, faithfully working while nurturing her family, pouring into her grandchildren with joy, or even walking tenderly beside a spouse whose health is declining. Each stage reflects a heart of sacrifice tha...

Over the next several weeks, we’ll be sitting down with individuals and couples wh...

What a joy it’s been to walk through this season with you. Seriously. Week after week, we’ve been so moved—not just by the powerful stories shared, but by how deeply they’ve stirred something in our own hearts.

In this episode, our friend Jedell Jenkins joins us at the table to talk about all areas of life pertaining to an abundant life in Christ. Living a life healed and whole involves walking in a peace that doesn't always make sense from an earthly perspective.
