How many of you are Needtobreathe fans out there?! We sure are and are even moreso after this conversation with Bear Rinehart and his wise, wonderful wife, Mary (who also happens to be a therapist). We had SUCH a rich, fun conversation about parenting, about each of their favorite songs of his AND about the power of vulnerability in parenting. We can’t wait for you to listen and let’s do it again. We’d love to hear your favorite ei...

We loved getting to sit and have a conversation with two people we have loved and admired for so long, Andi and Charlie Peacock Ashworth. In fact, we were both attending a Bible study in their home (which we’ll talk about) before we knew them or each other, way back in our 20’s, along with all of the other 20 and 30 and 40-something year old’s in Nashville. We have learned so much from these two, as they have invited us in to so ma...

You’ve likely heard his music already with songs like “Yours,” “Blue Tacoma,” “Every Little Thing,” “Love You Like I Used To,” “She Likes It,” “God Gave Me A Girl,” and many others. What you may not know is that you’ve likely heard his wife, too—who is a part of our beloved That Sounds Fun Network...

A 9 time GRAMMY nominee—a 5 time Dove Award Female vocalist of the year, 500 million streams and multiple #1 albums and singles on the Billboard Charts. But, more than that, she is truly one of the kindest, most encouraging people you will ever meet. We LOVED our conversation with the delightful Natalie Grant. We can’t wait for you to listen as she talks about parenting teens, singing for the president and her life-changing work at...

The song has been ringing through the rafters of Hopetown already this summer, as it does every year. It’s one of our kids’ favorites. They have hand motions and have the best time reminding themselves and each other of these words of truth. “My lighthouse, I will trust the promise. You will carry me safe to shore.” The song is My Lighthouse from Rend Collective and we would highly recommend you listen to it with the kids in your l...

Sissy had one of her favorite experiences of the past few years with this week’s guest Dwan Hill and his delightful wife, Laura. They didn’t have a chance to meet that night, but Sissy was immediately a fan—of Dwan, of his music, and of the wonderful work he is doing through The Choir Room. Sissy and David have been wanting to have Dwan and Laura on the podcast ever since!
Dwan is a 3x GRAMMY award-winning, 2x Dove award-winning, ...

We love these two people—their vulnerability, transparency, humor and the hope they bring to us all. Thank you, Jesus, for the difference Dave and Ann are making in th...

We wish there had been a camera in the car when our amazing friend and publicist Jana Muntsinger emailed to tell us Anne Lamott had said yes to being on our podcast. We lost our minds—literally, you guys. We were both screaming, “Are you kidding me?!” over and over in the car! We still can’t believe it. If you’re unfamiliar with Anne Lamott, buckle up—she is one feisty, wise, brilliant, spitfire of a human being. She might be a new...

Through her podcast, The Best of You and her newest book, I Shouldn’t Feel This Way, Alison helps us trade mental chaos for clarity, learn how to understand and process our emotions in healthy ways, and stop the self-defeating cycles we can all fall in...

On Episode 80, we had a psychologist named Dr. Michael Thompson on the podcast to discuss the social connections of kids. He talked about the importance of summer camp for kids and said the very best part of summer camp is “that you’re not there.” Makes sense.
We have talked to and witnessed the impact of camps for countless kids over the years…not just the skills learned like archery and horseback riding, but the independence and...
