“Where faith meets family… and chaos meets the calendar.”

Ever feel like the week is winning? You aren’t alone. In Episode 4, we’re recapping a week that was moving at a breakneck pace—from the kids' non-stop schedules to the general homestead hustle.

Matthew and Ashley sit down at the kitchen table to share the funniest (and most stressful) highlights of the recent whirlwind. But more importantly, we’re talking about those "full circle" moments where our faith is finally catching up to our reality. We’re diving into how we’re learning to stay grounded and find actual peace, even when the calendar refuses to slow down.

Grab a seat and join the conversation!

Four days of turkey hunting, a lot of waiting, and a conversation about patience, perspective, and slowing down.

This week, we learned something important about our daughter—and about ourselves.

While signing her up for a pageant, we realized her hesitation wasn’t just nerves… it was fear she didn’t know how to put into words.

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to create space for honesty, how fear can show up quietly, and how we’re learning to walk through it together as a family.

It’s a simple conversation—but an important one.

A quick reflection from Ashley on Proverbs 27:1–2 and a moment that shifted her perspective this week. Just a short, honest thought that stuck.

This week, we brought home 50 chicks… and suddenly our garage looks very different.

In our first episode, we’re talking about why we chose to raise meat birds again, what it means to live more intentionally, and how even something as simple as raising chickens can teach us about stewardship, responsibility, and paying attention to what we’ve been given.

It’s a little chaotic, a little meaningful—and a pretty honest look at where we’re starting.
