The Better Life Podcast
One of the biggest mistakes we make is thinking the Bible isn’t relevant to every single detail of every day life. It is. And that’s the very thing we talk about in this new podcast series. Join hosts Morgan Kennedy & Vanessa Reyner as we talk through: - What does it look like to find real friends in adulthood? - How do we push back against the hectic life to let the holy parts in? - What does it look like to do a digital detox with kids? - What does it look like to find rest as a middle aged working mom with multiple little kids? - How do we tap into what we really want and desire for our life? - What does life change look like and how do we find the people who will stick with us through it? This podcast is for adults who are drowning in the chaos of culture and are hungry for the better life.
