In this episode, we navigate the highs of travel and the lows of kitchen accidents. Join us as we recount a chaotic trip to Little Rock and explain why spaghetti squash is officially off the menu. Later in the episode, we dive into a serious conversation about faith and community. We discuss the difficulties of finding a new church home, how "sanctification" plays out in real-world relationships, and what we’re learning about love. Plus, an update on "Annex B" and what’s coming next.

Venice, Florence, and Rome. No AC, lots of pasta, missed sunsets, stinkbugs, leather shopping, and late-night gelato. This episode is our slow, messy, beautiful journey through Italy. From wandering Venice’s quiet streets to falling hard for Florence and ending our trip under Roman night skies, we talk about letting go of expectations, chasing the light, and why doing Italy without a perfect plan ended up being exactly what we needed.

In this episode, we recap the first three days of our honeymoon: starting with our arrival in Paris and a quick hop over to London. We battle intense jet lag, fall in love with French strawberries, somehow end up at the top of the Eiffel Tower without paying for it, and experience a full-on panic after getting lost in London with dead phones. It’s equal parts romantic, chaotic, and unforgettable. The rest of our honeymoon adventure through Italy continues in Part 2.

There are already too many podcasts, and we fully believed that. In this episode, Atlas and Olivia explain why starting one felt unnecessary, even egotistical… and what ultimately changed our minds. We share our story, how we met, what life looks like now, and why this podcast is less about having a platform and more about preserving a life. Consider this our why.
