When Elle and Tyler (our daughter and son-in-law) received a heartbreaking infertility diagnosis, they were told there was zero chance of becoming pregnant naturally. We share how our family learned to hold both grief and faith and kept praying for miracles in the lives of others while waiting for God’s answer in our own. Miracles are not the endgame of the Christian life, they are signposts pointing us to Jesus, glimpses of Heaven touching earth, and reminders that God is still able, still kind, and still worthy of our trust.

QUESTIONS

1. What heart-cry do you need to bring before God in this season?
2. What does it look like to remain faithful while waiting for His answer?
3. How can you let God shape your heart in the waiting, not just change your circumstances?

SUMMARY

God expanded our understanding of the Holy Spirit from something cautious and confusing into something biblical, beautiful, and deeply personal. With gratitude for our spiritual roots and honor for those who hold different views, we explore the questions, Scriptures, and encounters that shaped us along the way.

QUESTIONS

1. What messages did you receive about the Holy Spirit growing up, and how have they shaped your openness to Him today?
2. What does Scripture teach about the Holy Spirit’s role in the believer’s life, and how should that shape the way you follow Jesus?
3. What would it look like to pray with humility and openness, “God, if there’s more of You for me to experience, I’m open”?

SUMMARY

As parents of four incredible kids, we had a lot to learn! We talk honestly about the moments we wish we had handled differently and the ways God helped us grow in patience, discipline, and even fun. The goal is not perfection—no parent gets it right every time. We all need the Holy Spirit to help us own our mistakes, ask for forgiveness, and lead our children toward Jesus.

QUESTIONS

1. What patterns from your own upbringing do you want to repeat, and what new patterns do you want to develop?
2. In what area(s) do you most need the Holy Spirit’s help right now: patience, discipline, fear, fun, or connection?
3. How can confession, repentance, and forgiveness strengthen your relationships?

SUMMARY

We sound the alarm on the growing cultural crisis around marriage, family, and children. Marriage is God’s design for covenant, companionship, sexuality, and family. We challenge the lies that keep people delaying marriage, avoiding commitment, fearing children, or building life around comfort instead of calling. God’s design is still good. Strong marriages, healthy families, and babies raised in faith are the keys to our future.

QUESTIONS:

1. What cultural messages have shaped the way you think about marriage?
2. Why did God design marriage to be the foundation for family?
3. What would it look like to make room for children in the way you plan your future?

SUMMARY

We share a sneak peek into Susan’s latest project, Can I Please Just Eat in Peace?—a book and Bible study coming soon! Every person struggles with something, even if they don’t realize it. But God designed us to live in freedom, and He wants to reveal the places we’ve been held captive. Your testimony matters, your pain is not a competition, and Jesus does not want you to get comfortable in chains He came to break.

QUESTIONS:

1. What chains have you become so used to carrying that they almost feel normal?
2. How has fear, trauma, addiction, or past pain shaped the way you seek comfort or control?
3. What testimony might God be inviting you to share so others can see the power of Jesus in your life?

We believe the Church cannot stay silent when it comes to hot topics and current events. We talk about how we personally discern when to speak, what to address, and how to help families stand firm. Speaking up is not about chasing controversy, pleasing people, or joining every online outrage—it is about shepherding souls with clarity, courage, and love.

QUESTIONS:

1. When the culture is being loud, where do you most need the Church to bring biblical clarity?
2. What makes it difficult for you to receive truth when it touches a personal, political, or cultural issue?
3. How can you respond to hard topics with both conviction and compassion instead of fear, silence, or outrage?

The debate over women in ministry is loud, emotional, and often divisive—but what does the Bible really say? With humility and a desire to honor God’s Word, we look at the broader witness of Scripture, key passages often used in the debate, and the women God used throughout the Bible. This episode is not about cultural pressure or personal preference; it is about seeking truth and making room for Spirit-empowered men and women to use their gifts under biblical authority.

QUESTIONS:

1. What has most shaped your view of women in ministry: Scripture, tradition, culture, or personal experience?
2. How can you approach biblical topics with both conviction and humility?
3. What gifts has God given you, and how can you use them faithfully under biblical authority?

We pull back the curtain on the algorithm and expose how it is constantly feeding us. How do we sort through all the voices, ideas, outrage, temptation, and even once-trusted leaders who may have drifted from truth? This episode is a wake-up call to recognize the dangers, test what we allow into our hearts and minds, and break free from the loop before it consumes us.

QUESTIONS:

1. What is your algorithm currently feeding you? What does that reveal about your heart, habits, or hidden desires?
2. Are the voices you trust online aligned with God’s Word and God’s ways, or have they drifted from truth?
3. Who are the God-given friends, family, or spiritual leaders in your life helping you test what you consume with wisdom and discernment?
