Olivia is moving in just a few days, so what better way to send her off with love and prayers, then to have her on the podcast to update *you* dear listener on what the next season holds!!Join us in wishing her well! We are just so proud of our girl!

Fast paced with a lot of laughter - from a teaser for next week, to the origins of us, to the origins of Tony's athleticism, we don't slow down.Personally, I blame it on the Turmeric.

An episode filled with intrigue, canine revenge, and, completely unplanned, both Tony and Kimberley share stories where they, and those they were with, didn't die.All in all, a super encouraging listen!

Well! We purchased recording equipment, and Kimberley can't tell if Spotify for Creators hates it, or if it is really just user error - either way, most of our recording made it - Tony was just cut out the last 5 minutes, so we end abruptly, and there may be a slight volume change midpoint, but the chatting is the same! Hopefully next week, everything will be back to normal!

Who knew interviewing 2 of our college and career young adults, Autumn and Ashlyn, would result in getting to meet Autumn's dad, David Thatcher!We so enjoyed getting to hear about all that the Lord is doing in Dave's life, and how he and his wife are being led to build a Nordic Spa in Ontario that will not only bless the guests that they will serve, but the staff that will be hired as well. What a blessing to see how fellow brothers and sisters in Jesus are using their gifts to serve Him in the areas that they are placed.If you would like more info on Akuam Spa, you can email Dave at: [email protected] or visit akuamspa.com!
