Travis Shelton, from Meaning Over Money, joined us on this episode to dive into a really important topic and an area we are called to steward well: money. We believe all that we have is from the Lord and therefore we can and should be talking about it. But HOW do we steward our finances well without making money a focal point? And getting started or overcoming habits we've had for a lifetime can be overwhelming. These are the kinds of questions we dive into today and we are excited to share with you.

In this episode, Kate sits down with her husband to talk about a major life transition we experienced early on in our marriage, and how we relied on our faith to guide us through it. We discuss the challenges we faced, the decisions we had to make, and the importance of trusting God's lead in uncertain times. We reflect on how our faith played a crucial role in navigating this transition, and how it ultimately led us to a better place. We hope that our conversation will inspire others to take their own leaps of faith and trust that God's plan will lead them where they need to go.

Kate and I chat through how BUSY life can be, especially in these little years, and how often times the unending to-do lists and dishes, paired with mom-guilt and everything in between, can cause us to not be present exactly where we are in that moment.

We polled our IG stories asking what holds you back *MOST* from getting into your bible daily. Here's what you said: 40% said you're in a busy season, 40% said you're in a sleep deprived season, 9% said they don't know where to start, 11% said they don't understand what you are reading. Kate & Kal have experienced each of these at different times and we feel like it needs to be said that we aren't here to shame you into reading your Bible daily or to make your feel guilty if you aren't but speaking from our heart's desire for a generation of women and mamas who are Biblically literate, who are passionate about knowing TRUTH so we can pass that on to our babies and the people we do life with. And combat our own struggles and thoughts on a daily basis. Listen to dive into each of these four things and seek encouragement alongside us.

One of our FAVORITE things about our online accountability group of gals is that once a month we get together for a virtual Bible study. And each week we do so, we begin our time together with one of the gals on the call (pre-planned, of course, nothing on-the-spot happening!) shares her testimony, or a piece of it, with us!

We were grateful for the opportunity to interview founder and author of Mama Bear Apologetics, Hillary Ferrer. As Christians we want nothing more than to equip our kiddos to know and love God & his word. We worry about the cultural lies they'll inevitably be exposed to. We want to know how to equip them with a solid foundation for their faith. Mama Bear Apologetics is an answered prayer to thousands of mamas around the world wanting to do just that. Listen in as we get an exclusive chat with Hilary, answering what apologetics are, why they are important, and tons of nuggets and resources us mamas can start implementing TODAY with our kiddos. This episode isn't just for mamas though, but rather for anyone with influence over the next generation or even anyone just wanting to dig deeper in the foundation of their faith.

Diving into one of our last listener-asked questions from the summer: How do we remain selfless in a selfish world? We live in a very self centered world, everything seems to be ME-centered (even when it is disguised as otherwise) and because the enemy is sneaky, there is often truth mixed in with the lies making it EASIER to fall trap to them without realizing it. Kate and I dive into some cultural lies we hear that seem innocent but we believe can have a negative impact on our hearts and for the Kingdom. Lies like: "Whatever makes you happy!" "Love yourself first" "You are enough" "You do you! / I'm doing me!"

Have you ever been lost in the sea of Bible reading versions and wondered WHICH one you should read? We have always read and recommended reading the Bible in multiple translations, but about 6-8 months ago we received a message from a follower that challenged us to really dig into WHY we do and why we believe it's the correct way to read the Bible. This episode might be slightly controversial but kate and I have spent some time digging into it and now that some time has passed we want to dive into helping you answer this question.

Even if you aren't one for routines, we all have that image in our head as to what an "ideal" quiet time with the Lord looks like. Maybe we watch women do it every day on their Instagram stories but we can't quite seem to understand how they do it with a screaming toddler who wants another round of cheerios and milk. We think there's a different approach. One that seems to work better in the long haul. And that is just as meaningful in our walks with Jesus.
