Love & The Outcome Podcast

It’s been a minute since we released a podcast, but we have a new song out called HUMAN, and we wanted to share how it came to be.  God is good, life is hard.  It’s not one or the other.  The fact that two things can be true at the same time has held us together over the past few years.

Really excited to share my conversation with Leslie Trovato with you, friends!  She is a writer and a mama, loved thru divorce & breast cancer & COVID over the past two years, so she has a lot of content!  We chatted about how to let go of expectations around the holidays, and what Emmanuel, God with us, actually ...

Thanks for sending in your questions for Dr. Russell Moore!  They were SO good that we decided to dedicate an entire episode to his answers!  Hope you enjoy part 2 of our conversation with @russellmoore

Love,

Jodi, Chris, Milo & Ziggy

PS - If you are subsc...

Have you ever found yourself in a conversation these days wondering, “am I crazy?”  Or, “how do I have conversations with friends & family with whom I disagree politically?”  We asked Dr. Russell Moore these questions as well as what it means to be an evangelical Christian in a post-truth world.  Will civility ever be restored?  Dr. Moore is the former head of Ethics and Religion for the Southern Baptist Convent...

The pandemic has taken alot from all of us.  One thing we are just barely recovering is our ability to see possibility, and to dream again. Dan Bremnes - musician, family man, risk-taker, dreamer - reminds us that we need to listen to our crazy ideas because they just might unlock our next step to a life lived, not just tolerated. Dan shares the story behind his n...

Welcome back to the podcast!  We took a break this summer after our house flooded, thinking we’d start it back up when we were back in, but alas we are still waiting…  

The good news is we have a lot to share from this displaced transition season, so we thought we’d embrace it with “Conversatio...

We are so excited for you to join our conversation on anxiety with the one and only Sissy Goff!  She is an expert child and adolescent counselor at Daystar Ministries here in Nashville, as well as an author and equipper.  She has helped our family so much amidst our flood trauma during COVID.  Here’s the thing - everything she says doesn’t just work for kids, but also applies to adults!  So whether you’re an adult, parent, or teen,...

Jasmine Murray is the kind of influencer you want to follow.  American Idol top-13 finalist, Miss Mississippi and top 10 Miss America, she’s had to deal with how to be her authentic self while still stepping on stage and trying to impress.  Not scared to admit when she can barely get out of bed, or how good it feels to have pushed through a workout she didn’t feel like doing.  Honest about her anxiety and depression, as well as her...

It hit me while we were jumping on the trampoline in the backyard of our broken house, and then out of the blue while I was making pizza in my friends kitchen, missing my own. We don’t like to give ourselves space to grieve. We like it to happen on a certain day in a certain way, so we can control it and look “strong”. But the truth is, the happiest moments are often when the sadness hits out of nowhere. Maybe you’re in a grieving ...

Hi Friends!

For this week’s podcast we wanted to bring you something a little different.  We turned a green room conversation with our good friend Pastor Jeremy Louison into a behind-the-scenes podcast!  We had the chance to tell our love story, how Love & The Outcome started, how we’ve remained individuals within a marriage where we work together… and a lot more!  We hope this episode gives you a glimpse into our story, and also h...

We found Rich Villodas and his church, New Life Fellowship, online the Sunday after the Capitol insurrection.  We were confused and wrestling with the church’s response or lack thereof, to this evil act.  Rich’s sermon that Sunday assured us that there is no way to separate justice and mercy from the gospel, and that becoming a Christian means we have to deal with our stuff, not just pass it off to the Lord and peace out.

Rich’s ne...

Hi friends!

Have you ever felt like your worth is tied to your career and talents?  On this week’s podcast episode, Chris & I sat down with the one & only Rebecca St. James!  She reminds us that “our worth and value come from who we are, not what we do.”  Phew, don’t know about you, but we needed this reminder after not touring for the past year!

We were both a little star-struck sitting down with someone who has won both Gramm...

Hi Friends,

It’s so easy to write people off, isn’t it?  When they don’t see things the way we do, vote the way we do, belong to the same group we do… But here’s the thing:  it's in the sharing of our stories, leaning in to listen and learn, NOT winning someone over to our side, that we grow!  When we posted about the insurrection at the Capitol and the inauguration, we watched as our social media number plummeted.  All of a sudden...

We had a 2021 “planning meeting” today and it was weird! How do you plan during a pandemic when your industry is shut down? Maybe you’re not facing the same challenges that we are as touring musicians who can’t tour, but I’m sure you’re feeling this tension in your life, too. The inability to put dates on a calendar, or see our families…maybe you’ve given up on dreaming?

This week’s podcast is all about dreaming even when you can’t...

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

Our prayer this Christmas season has been, “God, help me to let go of what I think Christmas is supposed to be, and embrace what it is.”  We don’t want to miss all that God has here and now, because we keep looking back and wishing for the old days.  But this is easier said than done isn’t it?  Especially if you’re spending this Christmas alone, far from family, sick, stressed and depressed.  

This week’s p...

I woke up this morning feeling heavy-hearted, overwhelmed, and an overall lack of clarity & focus.  We are all balancing a lot these days, and the holidays are a magical time, but they add another layer to everything don’t they?  Here’s the thing - even in our over-whelm we still need to get up and function to take care of ourselves & our families.  I don’t have all the answers, but God does, and He definitely met me in the middle ...

This Thanksgiving is so different for all of us.  We can’t get across the border to see family and eat turkey, and many of you are staying home and staying safe as well.  In the midst of it all, we have been feeling sad, lost, overwhelmed and exhausted, and a little ashamed for feeling that way.  As Christians aren’t we supposed to just push through and “be thankful?”  In this week’s podcast episode we talk about just that - how be...

It’s been the coolest thing watching the words I wrote connect with your heart and lead you to the Father. I started writing “You Got This” when my kids were babies, and seeing it in your hands is thrilling! Chris collected all of your questions about the book and some of our songs and we turned it into a podcast. Hope you enjoy having your questions answered and I hope our shout-outs were pronounced correctly! If you haven’t order...
