Our guest in this episode is Author, Pastor, and artist, Ryan Dalgliesh. Ryan has a unique set of gifts which he uses in his life to express his crea...

We certainly are not strangers to an adventure! In fact, we LOVE adventures! But, we do tend to approach them differently. In this episode, we are going to talk about what exactly it means to have a sense of adventure, share some funny stories with you, and talk about how the two of us “adventure” differently.

We wanted to revisit an episode from this time last year to remember and honor our friend, Tyler, who was a light to all who knew him. We sat down in our living room together that day, and Tyler and Kelsie shared their story and a message of hope with us. We hope it will be a blessing to you today.

Is this place sacred? When the student asked us that question, he said he was pretty sure he already knew the answer, but wanted to see how we answered. From the moment they walked into our home, they felt the warmth and safeness of this space. 

Our life, our family, this podcast, and any place we work or live in is set aside for the glory of God.

When we traveled full-time in our RV, I kept a blog of our experiences and recorded things that were on my heart during those days. At one point, I wrote a little blog called, “Today is the Day.”  It captured what was in my heart at the time. It captured how fleeting I felt time was. I was watching my kids grow up before my eyes. I could feel time passing as if I was sitting in slow motion and everything around me was in fast forwa...

In the early days of our relationship, Candy traveled to England twice to visit me. To see where I grew up, meet my family, and just experience the country. It was a big adventure! In this episode we have a little fun walking down memory lane.
