As the new year begins, many people find themselves asking, “What is my purpose right now?” In this episode, Corrine and Neil respond to a listener's question about purpose, time, and how to know if you are spending your life the way God intends.

They share a faith-filled perspective on finding purpose in everyday life, especially in seasons that feel quieter or uncertain. Corrine and Neil talk about why purpose is often found in small acts of service, using the opportunities already in front of you, and resisting the pressure to compare your season to someone else’s. They also discuss how different seasons of life require different levels of capacity and why God does not expect the same output from us in every season.

This episode explores how serving others can change the way we experience our days, why some of the most important work happens within our homes and families, and how viewing time through an eternal perspective can bring peace and clarity. If you are entering the new year feeling unsure about your direction, this conversation will help you reset your focus, trust God’s timing, and recognize that your purpose may be simpler and more meaningful than you think.

Greatest Hit Series: This originally aired as Episode 247.

In this episode, Corrine speaks to anyone feeling a post-Christmas letdown, wishing they had made Jesus more central once the holiday season has passed. She shares a simple but powerful tradition she’s practiced for years: choosing a personal “gift” to give Jesus for the year ahead.

Corrine reflects on lessons she’s learned through past gifts, including choosing joy during hardship, learning to trust God more deeply, and walking with Jesus through uncertainty. She opens up about how studying the Gospels led her to the repeated invitation to “take no thought,” and how radical trust in Christ has shaped her faith, family, and work in unexpected ways.

This episode is a gentle invitation to pause, pray, and listen as a new year begins, offering hope, perspective, and a meaningful way to grow closer to Jesus long after Christmas is over.

Marriage doesn’t need a total reset to get better. It often just needs honesty, consistency, and a willingness to start small.

In this episode, Corrine sits down with author Chelsea Smith to talk about practical, real-life ways to strengthen your marriage one day at a time. Chelsea shares the heart behind her book, “I Do” Today: A 52-Week Guide to the Marriage You’ve Been Waiting For, and why she chose to focus on small, doable habits instead of overwhelming advice or unrealistic expectations.

After more than two decades of marriage, Chelsea openly shares stories from her own relationship, not just what they’ve done right, but the lessons learned along the way. Together, Corrine and Chelsea talk about communication, unmet expectations, intimacy, and why sex can be a powerful connector in marriage, especially during seasons of stress, grief, or parenting.

Faith is woven throughout the conversation as Chelsea explains how turning to God for wholeness releases the pressure for marriage or a spouse to be perfect. This episode is a hopeful reminder that growth is possible, that struggle is normal, and that the marriage you dream of is often built through small choices made consistently.
