Friends are a gift from God. And there’s no better gift than this week’s guest Glenn Carter. For almost 30 years Glenn and Alyn have been close friends.

Being a parent is a wild adventure and precious little can prepare you for it. As we reflect on raising our kids, we’ve come up with five things we didn’t know about having kids. AJ’s #5 might freak you out, but let’s face it, this is the magic you listen for.
COVID-19, vaccinations and whether British people can swim. There’s plenty of opportunity for everyone to find something offensive about this week’s episode. But that’s not our heart - rather we want to make our thinking visible about where we’ve been and the choices we’re making for the future.
Our beloved pastor, Jeff Dollar, joins us this week to talk about his new book, Letting Go of the Need to be Right. We talk about why it’s so hard to say sorry, why we often refuse to let go of being right even when we know we’re wrong and one of the keys to breakthrough.

One of the keys to a fruitful life is getting good at forgiveness. For something so important, it’s amazingly difficult to do. This week we talk about the rewards that come from forgiving others and AJ gets the opportunity to do so live as Alyn confesses to a heinous crime.

We sometimes think love is communicated automatically, yet that's not the case. This week we talk about the five love languages and how each one can be used to strengthen connection in our relationships. Plus we all go camping.
We all have to make decisions - it's a part of life. But making decisions you won't regret comes with maturity. This week we talk about decision making from both a married and single perspective. Plus a review of our listeners' feedback.
If you've got questions about how to handle your own weakness or the weaknesses of others, trusting God, spouses that play video games for too long, having kids when you're older or the difference between hard work and striving, boy do we have a podcast for you. If not, we've got a great story of AJ scaring the living snot out of Alyn. So... something for everyone this week!

This week we're talking having kids. How they're made (not really but kind of), how to raise them, the best thing and hardest thing about being a working mom, all that sort of stuff. If you don't have kids yet, you'll still love this episode because we talk life before kids too. Explicit tag because we do talk a little bit about sex and if you have little ones listening we want you to be able to pick the time to answer their questions about sex!
Recorded while celebrating our 12 year anniversary, we reflect on life as a married couple and the things that have helped us stay married.

Also, our latest argument and what it means for marriage and a question from a listener on having a baby which leads to a long discussion re: babywise.
Brett & Shailey have an incredible story of the faithfulness of God.
