Welcome back! This week Marina and I chat about how sometimes we can get caught up in chasing adventures and experiences, and forget that God also calls us to serve him in the mundane.

Also, chasing experiences is fun for a while, but in all things we must remember that there is a time for everything and that we need balance and order in our lives, (Ecclesiastes 3).
