Countercultural Parenting with Lee Nienhuis: Episode #46

The failure of personal and collective character in our culture is gravely obvious, especially now. How did we get here? How do we experience lasting change? Today’s podcast guest, Lee Nienhuis (the original Mary), shares real hope for our world’s current problems.

In our current culture it’s tempting to get lax and it’s easy to feel disheartened when it comes to matters of character. Thankfully, Lee Nienhuis has diligently and boldly laid out a guidebook to reorient parents with their God-give...

Open Hands, Willing Heart with Vivian Mabuni (Episode #45)

We’ve all had to give up some things during the pandemic. Some of us have experienced the loss of convenience, loss of proximity, loss of income, and even the loss of loved ones.

It’s a challenge to live surrendered, and trust God when things are not as they should be, but it’s an important step in our faith journey as we choose His ways over our own.

*Please note: We recorded this episode before the killing of George Floyd, which is why it is not addressed during this interview. Our hearts bre...

Experience the Holy Land with Kaitlyn Bouchillon (Episode #39)

Most of us are cooped up at home, so we thought itd be fun to travel vicariously through this conversation all about one of our favorite places on earth.

In this episode, youll hear a theme about stones. I thought this passage from Psalm 118:19-24 was quite fitting.

Open to me the gates of righteousness,
    that I may enter through them
    and give thanks to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord;
    the righteous shall enter through it.
 I thank you that you have answered me
