Life isn't always a casual stroll — sometimes it feels like we are rucking uphill with a pack full of burdens we did not ask for. In this episode, we share how turning our evening walks into rucks led us to reflect on the many heavy loads we carry in life. We explore how God shapes us through the strain and how the struggle strengthens our faith as we learn to turn it all over to Him. It's in the tension and fatigue that we grow, our character shaped, and ultimately, we find ourselves ever more dependent on Him.

With the recent passing of Eric's grandmother, we reflect on what truly matters when it comes to legacy— the kind that doesn't show up in a will or get spent. In this episode, we talk about spiritual inheritance: what it means to pass down sincere faith from one generation to the next. Whether you're continuing a long line of faithful believers or starting something brand new, this conversation will help you think intentionally about the legacy you're leaving behind. We'll all leave a legacy— but what kind will it be?

Thinking about our recent family beach vacation, we dive into a powerful beachside metaphor: the shark in the water. When danger is near, why do we linger instead of run? Drawing from real-life moments, Scripture, and honest reflection, we explore the enticing temptations that can threaten our relationships, personal integrity, and walk with God. From Proverbs to the story of David and Bathsheba, we ask the hard question- What's the shark in the water you're lingering near, risking getting bitten?

This week we're talking about the power of words in the home- how they create a strong base for trust, lasting relationships, and a culture centered on love. We share how we talk honestly with our kids about everything, from relationships to real-life consequences, and why affirmation is the heartbeat of it all. At the end of day, don't we all want our home to be a place where everyone feels safe, valued, seen, and deeply loved? If so, join us in the conversation!

For more on healthy communication, we mention Crucial Conversations, a book that's been really helpful to us and shaped how we approach tough conversations.

In this episode, we share the story of when Eric felt led to attend seminary (with 5 kids and a full time job!)-- a step taken in faith, full of questions and uncertainty about what would come next. We talk about the fear that often comes with big decisions and how, over time, we learn to trust God in the unknown. For anyone sensing a quiet prompt to take a leap of faith, even without all the answers, we hope this conversation encourages you to say "yes." When we follow the Lord's lead, the outcome is often more meaningful than anything we could plan for ourselves.
