In this nourishing episode, Chrys and Shellie dig into what it really means to “eat” and digest God’s Word. Just like our physical bodies depend on healthy food, our souls depend on Scripture for strength and growth.

Shellie shares a recent health scare that landed her in the ER and how that experience taught her powerful lessons about both physical and spiritual digestion. Together, Chrys and Shellie explore how we can be more intentional about what we “feed” our minds and hearts.

They remind us that while devotionals, books, and sermons can be wonderful supplements, no man or woman can bring more to God’s table than the Bible itself.

Takeaway:

Feed your soul with the truth that satisfies. God’s Word isn’t fast food—it’s soul food meant to be savored, meditated on, and lived out.

In this heartfelt episode, Chrys and Shellie talk about something every one of us faces — waiting. Whether it’s waiting for answers, direction, healing, or change, waiting isn’t a season to simply endure. It’s a time of anticipation, knowing that God is still working behind the scenes.

They discuss what we can learn during those in-between seasons:

Patience and trust

Preparation and growth

Character and humility

Reliance on God

The conversation also looks at the story of Joseph — a powerful reminder that even when nothing seems to be happening, God is preparing everything. A waiting season never means God has forgotten you.

Takeaway:

Don’t rush the process. Waiting isn’t wasted when God’s the one in charge of the timeline.

Jay also introduces us to the idea of “prayable moments”—those everyday opportunities to add God to the conversation.
