The new year is already here, and let’s be honest—many of us are stepping into it feeling behind, uncertain, or even overwhelmed. But what if we paused the pressure of goals and resolutions… and simply asked God what He wants for us?

In this episode, I’m sharing what I felt the Holy Spirit speak over this new year—and how we can all invite His voice into our plans and paths for 2026.

There’s a hunger in the world right now. A searching. But too many are looking in all the wrong places. We talk about that, and we look to Jeremiah 29:11-14 and Matthew 21:28-32 to remember the power of seeking God with our whole heart.

I also offer a few practical ways to hear from God—how to see Him more clearly, even in a distracted world.

Let’s begin this year with intention, humility, and surrendered hearts.

Scriptures referenced:

• Jeremiah 29:11–14

• Matthew 21:28–32

This episode holds a piece of my heart.

It’s the story of Mrs. Margaret — a quiet, faithful neighbor who walked our street daily and became a friend I grew to love deeply. In her final days, God allowed me the gift of being present with her… and the honor of sharing the love of Jesus in one of the most holy, tender moments I’ve ever experienced.

In today’s episode, I share:

• The importance of creating margin to see others

• How a simple act of presence can lead to eternal impact

• The unexpected beauty of sharing the gospel in love

• Why our yes to God matters more than we know

I pray this story encourages you to slow down, to see, and to share Jesus — wherever He’s placed you.

Scripture Mentioned:

Mark 12:30–31 – “Love the Lord your God… and love your neighbor as yourself.”

Psalm 90:12 – “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

Book Mentioned:

I’ve Been to Heaven

#ShareTheGospel #LoveYourNeighbor #UnexpectedPodcast

This one was fun, y’all. Shay and I sat down over coffee and caught up on everything from our Facebook Marketplace finds to raising kids with grit and grace. We talked about parenting, marriage, farm life, and a few of our wildest antique “treasures.” (TicToc and OnlyGrans may or may not be our next big ideas…)

There’s a lot of laughter in this one—but also some sweet reminders of the joy in everyday life and the kind of legacy we hope to build for our boys. Whether you’re in a busy season, dreaming big, or just needing some light-hearted encouragement, I hope this one meets you right where you are.

Grab your coffee and come sit with us for a few. I’m so glad you’re here. 💛
