The Lantern and the Flashlight
by The Lantern and The Flashlight
It started with a joke about how we never see things the same way (and somehow an analogy in conversation, it became a podcast). Two totally different ways of seeing the same moment. But somewhere between the jokes, the deep talks, and the everyday chaos, we realized: maybe that’s the point. Welcome to The Lantern and The Flashlight- a space for real conversations, unfiltered faith and lots of laughter as we stumble forward in marriage, parenting, grand-parenting and following Jesus. We're not perfect. We're not polished. We’re here to share what it looks like to keep showing up, keep learning, and keep the light on for each other—even when we don’t see things the same way. Pull up a chair, we are glad you're here.

The Road We Didn't Map
From the very beginning, our marriage has included room to breathe. Encouragement to take alone time. Support to go home. A trust that distance doesn’t mean disconnection. This episode is a walk back through the early days. The role music played in bringing us to Tennessee, the long drives, the...

Not All Drifting Is Stealing Cars (Pt. 2)
Part Two continues our conversation about drifting, feeling unseen, emotional burdens, and reconnecting through small, spirit-led moments. Drifting isn’t the death — God restores what feels apart.

Not All Drifting Is Stealing Cars (Pt. 1)
When marriage drifts, it rarely happens through drama — it happens quietly. In this (part one) episode, we talk about the subtle seasons where you aren’t fighting, but you’re not really connecting either. We explore how small frustrations reveal deeper needs, how resentment begins before anger…

Walking with the Spirit (and Wandering Off Sometimes)
We’re learning to slow down and listen, to abide with the Holy Spirit, to trade striving for surrender, and to see the fruit that grows when we walk in obedience. It's honest conversation with plenty of laughter and a few rabbit trails along the way, but somehow, every one of them leads back to...

Prayer, Church and the Detour that Fed Us
After several weeks away, we’re back with a new episode. What began as a simple catch-up turned into honest conversations about the next steps in our faith—growing in prayer, seeking a church home, and navigating relationship changes when priorities slip out of place. With a some space for…

Spinning Plates & Radioactive Detours
We’re back after a few weeks off, thanks to RAI (spoiler: it hit harder than expected). We talk recovery, real-life side effects, and how our “lantern vs. flashlight” brains handle everyday chaos—me with all the tabs open, him with one tab at a time. Marriage, misfires, and making it work.

Some Conversations Start with Roadkill
This week was one of those blurry ones—where the days feel like molasses but your soul’s sprinting. Walking through thyroid cancer treatment will do that. Everything slows down and speeds up all at once. So, we sat down to record… and somehow ended up talking about roadkill hats, the power of...

Where the Squirrels Run Wild and God Shows Up
This week, we talk about low iodine madness, legacy land, and the kind of provision that doesn’t look flashy—but looks a whole lot like faithfulness. We buried our sweet Reesie, made new friends in unlikely places, and sat in the ache and the laughter of a weekend that didn’t go as planned—but...

Just Enough to Follow
Sometimes faith shows up with fireworks—and sometimes it smells like the backyard. In this episode, we’re talking about the way Jesus meets each of us differently, just like He did with His first disciples in John 1. From quiet invitations to tailor-made miracles, He never gives more than we...

Even This Is Holy Ground
This week, we talk about thyroid cancer, trusting God with hard news, and finding peace in the waiting. We’re in the more now part of the story—the part after the shock, when things are still unfolding, tender, and real. The road ahead isn’t clear, but faith is holding what we don’t yet…

Altitude, Ego, and That Weird Stranger Who Asked About Aliens
New love is easy. Normal love takes work—and a sense of humor when the altitude kicks in. This episode explores what happens when relationships shift from new to normal—when the spark settles and real life rolls in. We talk about learning not to take things personally when your person is quiet,...

A lot- About Nothing
We went on a little working getaway to the lavender farm…but the mic came with us. From birdsong and hummingbirds to dusty benches and bumblebee rescues, we settled into a laid-back chat full of lavender breezes and lighthearted nothings. No big deep dives this time—just a little porch talk about...

Good Enough Is a Moving Target
Let’s be honest: some days “good enough” is a clean pair of underwear and remembering what day it is. This episode, we chat about how our personal thresholds for “fine” keep moving, how balance isn’t always graceful, and how the power of suggestion can mess with your head faster than a toddler…

"Well that escalated into a lesson..."
From bratwursts to birthdays, somewhere between the laughs and the lessons, we unpack a recent opportunity that showed up disguised as discomfort - and how accidents have a funny way of teaching us exactly what we needed to learn.
