The title of this episode says it all. After a new experience at a church we visited, this message really started pulling on my heartstrings. This week, our conversation is all about WHY Representation Matters - and why it should also matter in the church! It's hard to want to be a part of something, when you don't feel like you're a part of it. Being represented, and respected in the church body is something we believe to be a vital piece of church growth. We see this idea of "Representation" in virtually every piece of our culture, and our lives - the church is really no different. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

We're back!  After an amazing weekend with our Youth Group at a retreat/teen convention - we were ignited with the desire to get things back up and running.  We wanted to share with you all some of our experience and what we learned through our youth. We learned quite a bit from their perspective - and it's one we, as adults, don't often consider. We hope you guys enjoy our recap and appreciate the perspective of others and the importance of connecting with people you love and who love you in return! We're excited to be back at it!! New episode in TWO WEEKS!

The Holy Spirit is a "vocab word" for many Christians - especially young Christians. It's like your third-cousin you're supposed to know but don't really and can't really identify them. This weekend we spent time with College Hills Student Ministry at a retreat, where Josh delivered 3 short lessons about the Holy Spirit - something their student leadership team wanted to learn more about! Throughout the weekend we all truly experienced The Spirit and the ways in which It was moving throughout the weekend. We decided it would be a great opportunity to share a little bit with our listeners, as well. This was a fun and eye-opening conversation to have, one in which we felt we both grew to have a deeper connection to The Spirit. We hope the same can be true for you! Also want to offer an apology for being a little bit late to sharing this episode!

With it being Halloween weekend - we wanted to share a little bit about our fears. This episode is full of the fears we face regularly - from our silly fears, to the more serious ones - we share a little bit of them all. We also took this chance to share a little bit about how we face our fears and work through those situations. Fear isn't something we can just sit it - we have to be able to work through it. Join us as we navigate through that, and share the things that have helped us. We hope you have a Happy and Safe Halloween! Be sure to subscribe, and leave a review!

Sex. Yep! You probably could've finished the sentence for us. This week we venture into the sensitive subject of sex. We feel that this world offers so much of its own definitions and descriptions of sex, and we want to offer the real truth about it. The truth of God's design for sex and the truth in the mental and emotional toll it can take on someone. We share our stories and our experiences this week, all with the purpose to hopefully give insight and knowledge from the "other-side". The side that completely contradicts what our world and our society tells us. We know it's a sensitive subject - and we know for some it may be triggering. We recommend using listener discretion and listening with trusted friends or family if necessary. We hope you all enjoy this episode, and can gain a little bit of insight into God's beautiful design for sex. Sex shouldn't be a taboo word or topic - so join us in the conversation! Throughout this episode we also highlight The Ultimate Escape - founded by Steve and Holly Holladay in 2004. https://www.ultimateescape.org/parents/page/steve_holladay ^^ They have some great resources for further information.

This week we're talking all about media trends, and if/how they impact our spirituality. We had a really great conversation with our Prodigal Life Group bible study this past week, and we wanted to share that with our #HaughtCoffee listeners. We learned a lot from their perspective, and we hope that through this conversation, you guys can take something away, too. This world we're living in is full of trends - and without the awareness of how those trends may impact our faith, we could find ourselves unbalanced in a way that pushes us further from Jesus. Enjoy this week's episode as we dive into how we can best avoid that, and fill ourselves with godliness and truth.

This week we decided to spend some time sharing our Marriage Mission Statement and our Family Pillars that we created for our marriage a couple of years ago. We think these are great tools for anyone listening to apply to their life. For our family, our number one Family Pillar is having a Fearless Faith. We know that we have a God that fights our battles for us, and for that reason we can walk boldly in our faith. Our hope is that all of our listeners can see the value in creating a Mission Statement and identifying Pillars for wherever you may find yourself in life right now.

This week's episode discusses the importance of communicating expectations within your marriage, your friendships, your family, relationships and even with your kids. These are conversations we took for granted and didn't feel were necessary at the beginning of our marriage. We then realized just how important they were and now we try to have these types of conversations regularly to help avoid unnecessary conflict.

We're back! And, we are sharing a little bit about our summer, and some of the lessons we've learned. In truth, the stories we share throughout this episode are somewhat hard to share, and hard for us to listen back to. However, Josh said it best: “These are situations that serve as building blocks for our marriage moving forward.” There's a lot that happened throughout this summer - it was packed full of opportunities for growth, and so many lessons were learned. It's our prayer that our listeners can take these lessons and be able to apply them to their lives as well. We are beyond excited to be back for SEASON TWO!! We hope you enjoy the episode!!

This is our Season Finale episode for Season 1! This episode we share a little bit about our summer plans and even more about the ways in which we hope we can be a light and an example for Jesus throughout everything we do. Too often we hear the message to stop caring so much about what anyone else thinks, and while there's some truth to that advice - there's also a different side in which we should very much care what others think.

This week we pick up right where we left off last week and continue sharing what's on our hearts for YOU, our listeners.  The messages this week have a focus on relationships and the older generations that may be listening.  However, again, we remind you, that just because you may not see yourself in one of these specific "categories" - maybe one day you will be, or maybe you know someone who is and might need to hear encouragement.   We hope that you guys are enjoying these messages, and above all - we hope that you know you are loved for exactly who you are.  Be sure to subscribe, and leave a review!

We honestly couldn't land on the specific topic we wanted to cover this week. We were back and forth between a couple of ideas and then I just looked at Josh and asked, "What do you think our listeners needs to hear? Like, what do you think someone in college who is listening might need to hear?" From there we realized the age range of our listeners, and that while it's pretty wide-spread, there are messages on our heart for all of you. After recording we realized there was too much content for just one episode, so we're giving you two! This week we focus on our school-age listeners: from middle school to college. Just because you may not fall into these categories, however, it doesn't mean you don't know someone who does. We hope that these messages can reach all of our listeners and help each of them reach the loved ones they know that may need to hear this message! Be sure to subscribe, and leave a review!

This week we are sharing a little about rhythms and routines!! What are rhythms - what do they look like in our life throughout our marriage (pre and post kiddos), in our parenting, and in our spirituality? To be honest, the term "rhythms" is a fairly new concept and as we continue growing as parents and in our marriage, we continually find more ways to incorporate healthy rhythms in our life!

This week we talk a little bit about how COVID affected our family; through having a baby, going virtual with school and church and how we worked through those times, and the ways our plans changed throughout the times of the pandemic we are currently facing. With Easter weekend coming up, we also wanted to share about our favorite memories of Easter traditions in our families growing up and how through getting married, having kids and blending our lives together, it led to changing some of those traditions. And what better example of changing plans is there than the resurrection of Jesus Christ?? The world believed they had defeated the man who called himself the Son of God, only for their worlds to be rocked (literally) 3 days later. Through this episode, we hope to bring the Good News of our Resurrected Savior and pray it brings you peace, hope and joy through this holiday weekend. Be sure to subscribe, and leave a review!

This week we talk all about distance. Having spent the first 3 years of our relationship dating from a distance and only seeing each other on weekends - we have experience in navigating what to do and how to handle feeling distant. What we learned in preparing for this week's episode is that, in many ways, when we look back and see what helped us survive those hard times, feeling so far away from each other, it's true that the same can help us navigate our way back to God in the hard times when He just seems so far away.

There are too many times throughout our lives that we begin to question our worth. What defines our worth? Who defines our worth? How do we know our worth? This is something that I battled with for years - it's something that could have possibly led to the end of any type of relationship between Josh and I. The dreaded "We need to talk" text, followed up by a genuine "friendzone" truly led to full understandings of respect, love and worth - the kind of worth that can only be found in Jesus. Enjoy!
