“I didn’t find God. He found me.”That simple, beautiful truth was the moment everything changed for Ben Fuller.

In this episode, I sit down with Ben to walk through pain, addiction, music, and what it looks like when Jesus meets you in the mess.

In this conversation we talk about:

• Growing up on a dairy farm in Vermont

• Struggles with drugs, alcohol & loss

• The pivotal moment of surrender

• How faith reshaped his identity and music

• What it means to walk in freedom daily

Scripture that shaped our talk:

• 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you…”

• Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted…”

Friends, this episode is such a special one for me—I get to sit down with my husband, Shay Mooney, and share some of the most unexpected moments that have shaped our lives.

We talk about:

• The power of words spoken over us and how they shape identity (Proverbs 18:21)

• Pivotal life decisions that seemed small at the time but changed everything

• The importance of speaking life over our children, our marriage, and our community

• Finding God’s faithfulness even in seasons of uncertainty

Shay and I both share personal stories—his journey from small-town Arkansas to music, and mine from Miss Arkansas to meeting him. Looking back, we see God’s hand orchestrating every step, even the detours.

One of my favorite reminders from this episode comes from 1 Timothy 1:18—Paul tells Timothy to “remember the words spoken over you and use them as a weapon.” Words matter. What we say to each other and to our children can change the course of a life.

I hope this conversation encourages you to look at your own story and see God’s fingerprints in the unexpected.

Welcome back, friends! Season 2 is here, and I couldn’t be more excited to start it off with a conversation that is so close to my heart—family culture.

In this episode, I sit down with my sister, Erica Bankston, to talk about how we each began shaping the culture of our homes—long before kids came along. We share real stories from marriage, raising little ones, and finding unity even when our backgrounds were very different.

We cover:

• Why your family culture starts with communication

• The importance of finding a church home together

• Traditions that shape peace and belonging for your kids

• How God leads us in building something new and beautiful in our homes

One of my favorite moments in this conversation is remembering that the children who come back home are the ones who grew up seeing it as a place of peace, not chaos. That is my prayer for each of us—that our homes would reflect God’s heart of love, stability, and grace.

Scripture reminds us: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1

I hope this conversation encourages you to prayerfully shape your own family culture, no matter where you are starting.
