We’re Back!! Join Shanna and Kristen (whoo hoo!) as we catch up and share an important announcement.
Shanna is joined by Michelle Holmgren to talk about the theology of parenting. Scripture tells us that children are a gift from the Lord and that they bear His image. And while parenting is a call to shepherd their hearts, it’s also a tool God uses to shape ours.
We’ll talk about how family discipleship can happen in everyday moments, how to avoid performance-based parenting, and how to rest in the truth that God is the perfect pare...

This conversation is one of honesty, of hope, and of holding...
Shanna is joined today by Brooke Ledbetter, author of Closer Than a Brother: An Invitation to Cultivate Friendship That Lasts. In this conversation, they are going to explore the beauty of biblical friendship—what it looks like, why it matters, and how we can begin to pursue it with intention.
If you’ve ever wrestled with being vulnerable, felt abandoned by shallow community, or struggled to believe that Jesus actually wants to be ...
In this episode, Shanna is joined by Kelli Galyean, to talk about the life of David. From overlooked shepherd to mighty king, David’s journey is full of faith, failure, courage, and redemption. But this episode isn’t just about David - it’s about what his life reveals about the heart of God.
We unpack the Davidic Covenant, discuss the importance of godly mentorship, reflect on the raw beauty of David’s wilderness Psalms, and look a...
In this episode, Shanna explores the significance of Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. The resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith - without it, there is no gospel, no hope, and no future. But the story doesn’t stop there. We turn our attention to the often-overlooked ascension of Christ, a vital part of the gospel narrative. From His heavenly throne, Jesus continues His work as our Prophet, Priest, and King. Join Shanna as s...

We see the character of God all over the story of Ruth even though He is only mentioned just a few times. The story of Ruth and Naomi is one that highlights many of God's characteristics including his compassion and provision. We see the introduction of the Kinsman-Redeemer and how God used the seemingly insignificant events in Ruth's story to connect her to the lineage of David and ultimately, to be mentioned in the line...
In this episode, Shanna gets to interview her pastor, Matt Chandler.
For many, Revelation is a bit intimidating. It’s a big book with a lot of weird characters in it. And yet, for the last 2000 years, the book of Revelation has put courage into the spines of Christians. Revelation says that despite what we see and experience, Christ is on his throne and ruling on high, and we are able to live faithfully in the moment of time that G...
This week, Kristen and Shanna dive into the story of Moses. You have probably often heard the stories of Moses' life, but have you ever stopped to look for what his story teaches you about God?

This episode, Shanna and Kristen are going to take a 30,000 ft view of the story of Abraham. We will look at God's character as we look at the lives of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar. Don't let the length of this episode fool you - It is full of deep truth that we pray will encourage your heart and remind you of what is true about God.
So buckle up as we talk about one of Shanna's favorite stories in the Bible: The Story...
This episode, we dive into the opening chapters of the Bible and talk about the creation narrative in Genesis 1-3. These chapters are so foundational, not only to understanding the Bible but to understanding God Himself. Our origin story is crucial because it frames and sets the tone for every other story that follows. We are going to look and see how God brings order out of chaos, what it means to be made in His image, and how the...
Season 4?! How is that possible? This season we're going to walk through well known Bible passages and build on the foundation that we laid in Season 1 when we studied the attributes of God.

Family Time:

- Spend time outside watching the clouds. The Bible tells us He will return, coming out of the clouds. Spend time imagining what Jesus’ return will look like and pray for Him to return soon.
Questions to Consider:
Do you ever feel like you are unworthy to receive the love of God? What can you do to remind yourself of the truth about His love for you?
How might your day look different if you truly believed you were a recipient of the love of God? What are some ways you can respond to Him in love?
Do you tend to get stuck thinking of love as just a feeling? How can you shift love from being a thought in your head or ...
