The Narrow Path

Hi friends!! We are back with a new episode and we cover a bunch of different topics today. We start out with a candid conversation about the value of cultivating friendships across multiple generations, especially seeking out camaraderie with those who are older than us. Then we chat about our growth in the workforce, specifically how we have been managing drama and politics at work, handling challenging professional relationships, and the struggles we’ve faced with finding work life balance. We finish with a discussion about the impact of DOGE, the exciting elimination of government waste, and the path forward for California.Thank you guys so much for listening!! We had so much fun recording this episode and love you all so much. Please considering subscribing and connecting with us on Insta @Narrowpathpod!

Hi friends! We have a very heavy topic today as we cover the devastating destruction caused by the recent fires in Los Angeles, California, which have been deemed one of the worst fires in the history of our whole planet. This tragedy is very personal to us as Jensen’s in laws’ home in Malibu was one of the thousands to burn completely to the ground, destroying everything they owned. Jensen shares the impact this has had on her family as they have lost not only their home, but a place of significant spiritual and historical significance. Megan shares her experience being on the frontlines of this fire, helping families who have been displaced and the fulfillment she finds in working in the hospitality industry in a time of crisis. So much history is unfolding before our eyes and the tension across the world is only continuing to heat up, with tragedies like this happening more and more often. We share the spiritual lens we view this fire through, and how our perspectives and priorities have been reshaped by the chaos we are all experiencing. Our hope and security can only come from God, and we have to learn to trust Him more than ever. When the world around us is crashing and burning, we have nothing left but Him.  We hope you enjoy this episode. Despite the massive loss, we also feel hopeful and are comforted by the shared humanity connecting us all. Our hearts and prayers are with all of the victims.

Hi friends! Today’s episode is really special because, unknowingly, we were recording our last podcast episode ever in Jensen’s in laws’ house before it burned down in the Palisades fire. At the time of recording, we were feeling very lighthearted, bubbly, and optimistic for the new year. We even discussed how we had not been podcasting lately because things were finally feeling calm in the world again… well look how quickly that changed! This episode serves as a reminder of the ebbs and flows of life. The unpredictable rollercoaster ride is what makes life exciting, beautiful, tragic, and breathtaking all at the same time. Make sure to check out the episode right after this one to hear our unfiltered thoughts on the fires. In this episode, we discuss our excitement for the future and what we want to embrace and let go of as we enter 2025. We talk about the collective shift in America post-election and the massive psychological transition now that it’s over. We also have a conversation about the sin of gluttony, which is not often a focus in modern churches yet is an issue so prevalent in American culture. We discuss the harms of overconsumption culture in America and the spiritual discipline that is required to rise above this pattern. Finally, we discuss the downfall of California, how hard it is to live there, and the toxic culture. This episode has a lot of fun, lighthearted moments and jokes sprinkled in and was super fun to record so we just hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did!!  As always, thank you so much for listening and please consider giving us a follow and connecting with us on insta @NarrowPathPod.

Hi friends! We have a quick mini-episode for you today to touch on a very relevant and important issue- we have a moral duty to get out and VOTE in this election. Tens of millions of Christians are choosing not to vote and, by doing so, we are allowing other people to dictate what the values and policies of our country will be. We want to remind all of you how privileged we are to live in a democracy and how hard our ancestors fought for us to have this right today. No candidate is perfect, but it is our obligation as citizens and as Christians to participate in elections and vote for the side that more closely aligns with our values. This is the most important election of our lifetimes– so much is at stake and we cannot afford to sit this election out.  We hope you guys enjoyed this episode. Please send it to any family, friends, or coworkers who are unsure about voting in this election. You never know how much of a difference your influence can make!  Thank you for listening.

Hi lovely listeners! In today’s episode, we talk about how the power of life and death lives in the tongue, the importance of speaking life and truth, and the superpower of learning to tame your tongue. There are dozens of Bible verses that speak to this and the God-given power and authority our words have, for better or for worse. Knowing and living the truth of scripture is our superpower and is our ultimate weapon against the enemy.  We have a conversation about getting away from the toxic cycle of complaining and how to have a mindset of thankfulness over ingratitude. We must first set our sights and minds on heavenly things, and then our thoughts and words will naturally follow. “For where our treasure lies, our hearts will be also.” This topic can apply to countless aspects of our lives and we can’t underestimate the importance of getting our words under control.

Hello friends!! This week we are so excited to be talking about the great awakening in America and around the world. The Christian, conservative movement is growing by the day and the energy shift happening before our eyes is undeniable. We discuss our passion for being a part of this historical revolution and how exciting it is to see so many people on fire for Jesus and the fight to save our country.  We have a conversation about how much our lives have changed since we’ve given our lives to Jesus and died to our old selves. When you walk in your purpose and walk with God, you step into true abundance that isn’t based on material items but on godly community, spirituality, truth, and morality.  We also talk about giving up secular music and getting released from the strongholds that the demonic music industry used to have on us. Later, we have a conversation about how we can better understand the Bible when it feels challenging and intimidating. Finally, we discuss an obvious yet profound revelation that the true meaning of life and secret to happiness is to live for others instead of living for ourselves.  We hope you guys enjoyed this episode!

Hi friends! We are back this week with an exciting life update. We have both recently stepped into incredible new career opportunities and we wanted to provide an update since career woes were a major topic in the early days of our podcast (go listen if you haven’t already!) We give a brief overview into the complicated journeys we’ve been on professionally and express how grateful we are to finally have jobs we absolutely love and feel proud of. Our biggest message from all of our professional struggles would be: DON’T SETTLE! And keep persevering. :)  We also touch on the palpable shifting political energy in America. Conservatives are becoming more and more outspoken and we are gaining momentum and representation every single day. We feel a sense of hope for our country and encourage you to pay attention to all of the good that’s happening even in the midst of the chaos.  We hope you guys enjoy this week's episode!

Hi friends! In this week’s episode, we have our first ever GUEST! Jensen’s husband, Matthew, joins us for an interesting discussion and gives us a male perspective on some of the hot topics we’ve been discussing. Matthew shares why it is more important than ever to study and understand history as a tool to understand the dark times we are living in and make predictions about the future. He paints a picture of what true masculinity and a godly marriage should look like from a Christian perspective. We have a discussion about college and whether or not it is a scam, and what it was like to be openly conservative on a college campus. Finally, Matthew shares some insights on the deception behind climate change, and why he will be voting for Trump. We hope you guys enjoy this episode!

Hello friends! We are covering a hugely important and controversial topic in today’s episode- BIRTH CONTROL. Women have been lied to for decades about the side effects of the pill and have been mass-prescribed a drug that alters our bodies’ most essential function. The consequences have been catastrophic on both an individual and a societal level. Today, we tell our personal stories about birth control, what led to our decision to finally walk away from it, and how we have healed our bodies from years of damage. We also discuss how birth control has affected society as a whole and deceived us into believing that sex has no consequences. Finally, we have a conversation about true femininity and the power of embracing our womanhood rather than suppressing it with a pill. We talk about how coming off the pill has healed our feminine energy, and the realizations that we have had since about our identity as women.  We hope you guys enjoy this episode!

Hello friends! Today we are kicking off the FINALE of our relationship series!! We hope you guys have enjoyed it as much as we have.  Today we are discussing the most important relationship of all– marriage. We paint a picture of what a godly marriage looks like and how we can all attain it by modeling our relationship after how Christ loves his church. We talk about the consequences we are facing as a society from marriage being disrespected, mocked, and treated as something disposable rather than something holy. In a time where divorce rates are skyrocketing and broken homes are the norm, this conversation is more important than ever.  We believe marriage is sacred and an enormous gift from God. We believe that healthy marriages and families are the cornerstone of a functional and free society. We hope that this episode encourages you guys to honor and pursue a godly marriage.  Thank you guys so much for listening. Please consider leaving us a review and following us on Instagram @NarrowPathPod. Be sure to check out the first 3 episodes of our relationship series if you missed them! 

Hi guys! Today we are back with part 3 of our relationship series talking all about breakups. Breakups are an inevitable part of life, whether it’s a relationship, a friendship, or getting rid of toxic behaviors. Breakups are essential to our growth journeys and are often what lead us to finding our future spouse, but we tend to put them off and avoid them because it’s in our nature to want to protect ourselves from pain and suffering. In this episode, we dive into what a healthy vs an unhealthy breakup looks like, and how we can use these painful seasons to better ourselves and glow up from the inside out.  We hope you guys find valuable advice from this episode and know that you’re not alone if you’re currently going through this season. We will be back next time with the finale of our relationship series where we dive into marriage!  Please consider leaving us a review and a follow and connect with us on instagram @narrowpathpod. Love you guys xoxo

As always, learning to trust your gut is key and will protect us as we navigate godly relationships. We are so excited for the rest of this series and really hope you all enjoy it.

Hi friends! Today we are back in person together having a chatty and candid conversation. We talk about the attack on the family unit, how to address trauma without letting it consume us, and we have an open conversation about some things we are currently wrestling with with our faith. Specifically, is it God’s will for us to have financial success? What is the balancing act between taking control of our lives and working hard while also leaving it all up to God? How do we know if our goals were placed on our hearts by God or by selfish, worldly desires?  We love you guys so much and are so happy you’re here!

Welcome back! :) On today’s episode, we cover a whole bunch of topics! We discuss the importance of having a healthy morning routine, but share why we sometimes struggle to take our own advice and achieve this. We share some positive observations we’ve been having that suggest that our society may be in a better spot than the media would like for us to believe. We also have a conversation about identity– specifically, why we cannot let our identities be tied to anything external other than God. We also have a candid talk about the feelings that come up for us when we think about what it would be like to raise a child in today’s world, and why we cannot allow fear to hold us back from doing this.

Hi friends and welcome back! Today’s episode was a doozy to record… we faced many challenges and hurdles making this episode but it tied into what we wanted to share with you all this week. We share the battles we have been facing with spiritual warfare and how challenges in life can really ramp up when we grow closer to God and are on the cusp of something great. We also have a super candid conversation about our relationship with alcohol and weed. We dive into the insane deception around marijuana and our culture and share personal anecdotes into how destructive it can really be.

Hi friends! In today’s episode, we sit down and talk about the struggles of navigating friendship in a modern world that is so focused on “self.” We tell the story of our friendship, our incredible connection, and how we have nourished our relationship into a true sisterhood. We discuss the importance of godly friendships, praying for each other, and putting the Holy Spirit at the center of all of our relationships. We open up about times we have had our hearts broken by friends and how we have overcome that pain and avoided becoming jaded toward friendships. We also have a conversation about what it truly looks like to be on “The Narrow Path.” The path is called “narrow” for a reason, which means it can sometimes bring about loneliness and feeling different from everyone around you. We read about some instances in which Jesus faced isolation, abandonment, and betrayal, and how we can lean into Him for comfort and are never truly alone when we walk with Him.  We hope you guys enjoy this episode!

Hello lovelies- WE’VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH! We are so excited to be back with all of you as we begin this next chapter of our podcast. We have a new fire under us and are going to be diving into real, raw, controversial topics while pursuing and uncovering the TRUTH at all costs.  In today’s episode, we share what we’ve been up to for the last 6 months. Megan is back in California, working her dream job and has recently given her life to God. Praise Jesus! Jensen and her husband moved to Florida, bought their first home, and are thriving as they establish roots and deepen their relationship and their faith. We talk about the lessons we learned from having to develop extreme patience and faith as we both faced challenge after challenge on the journey to get to the places we’re in today. Megan shares how she is leaning into the beauty of this chapter of singleness and not letting her worth be tied to a relationship. Jensen shares the work she’s putting in while she’s in a waiting period of experiencing intense baby fever but choosing not to become a mother just yet. We also touch on the beautiful power of friendship and the bond we’ve formed as we walk through life together.

Hello hello! In today’s episode, we discuss what true health means and how important it is to find balance between caring too much about your health and not caring enough! It can get easy to get carried away, especially in the toxic world we live in with chemicals and pesticides everywhere. But at a certain point, the neuroticism of worrying about every single thing we ingest can be worse for our health than just letting go and relinquishing control. We discuss the importance of trying our best to always improve while still being able to let our hair down and enjoy a cheese pizza once in a while. We also share life updates. Jensen has finally moved out of Georgia and Megan tells us about her very eccentric hobby collecting sea glass.

Welcome back listeners! In today’s episode, we discuss the collective energy of 2023 and how everyone we know seems to be in a state of limbo and transition. We have both had a challenging year full of countless unknowns and twists and turns. This has taught us that the only way to survive a time like this is to truly learn how to surrender, relinquish control, and be flexible to the path that God is taking us down. We also talk about how literally every moment in life is just a part of a chapter, and those chapters pass by incredibly quickly, so don’t underestimate the importance of slowing down and savoring your life.  We also talk about the decisions to quit our jobs and make ourselves uncomfortable in search of something more fulfilling. We discuss reconnecting with our inner creative selves after feeling like we had to shut that off for years due to operating in our masculine energies.  Finally, Megan shares with us her decision to be SOBER for an entire year. She inspires us to let go of past habits that aren’t serving us anymore and watch all the doors that will open up as a result. 

Hello hello! In today’s episode, we talk about how to escape lack mentality once and for all and embrace a life of ABUNDANCE. As our society gets more and more expensive and competitive, it can feel impossible just to get by. Combine that with the fact that hustle and flex culture are EVERYWHERE, and we are constantly bombarded with images of people living seemingly lavish and incredible lifestyles, meanwhile you may be struggling just to pay your rent. We’re told that if we just WORK HARDER, maybe someday we can live an instagram-worthy life too. Our culture’s obsession with humble bragging and the legitimate hardships of our society can make us fall victim to lack mentality, depression, and feelings of unworthiness. All comparison leads to sorrow, especially when your life may not be where you want it to be. But you deserve to experience abundance, gratitude, and worthiness NOW, even if your life is far from perfect. Letting go of victimhood and embracing abundance will change your whole life and allow you to attract the positive things you desire. We discuss the things that challenge an abundance mindset and how we can overcome them. We also provide our most helpful tips for how we broke out of a victim mentality and stepped into a much more fulfilling way of life. We talk about the importance of self-confidence and self-mastery and encourage you to take your power back, say no to the comparison game, and decide once and for all that you are worthy of living the life you dream about.

Hi friends! In today’s episode, we have a candid discussion about embracing change, how to enter a new chapter with peace of mind, and how we have found the ultimate freedom in learning to relinquish control and surrender to the plans that God has for us. We dive into our battle to conquer our anxiety by learning to LET GO, which is ultimately leading us towards our most peaceful season of life yet. We are consciously moving into a season of serenity and are excited to share with you all how we activated the mindset shift it took to get here.  We also discuss the ever-present spiritual warfare that we are all fighting. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, spiritual warfare is real and it is happening. The mental illness, depression, anxiety, and self-sabotage that plague our generation is NOT a coincidence. We share with you how to take your power back and encourage you to fight for your sanity and your health in our fallen world and choose to turn away from the lies of our society.

Hello Hello! In this episode, we talk about the rat race that is corporate America and the dilemma we face on a daily basis between providing ourselves with stability and our burning desire to leave it all behind and chase freedom. We discuss how unhealthy our work culture is between cubicles, hideous commutes, and being bombarded with fluorescent lights all day and how we need to demand better for ourselves as a society. We also talk about how the school system has played into our insane hustle culture and we can’t help but feel like we’ve been lied to all of our lives. We share our perspectives on how comparison and LinkedIn played a role in us rushing to get a certain type of job that wasn’t necessarily what WE wanted but we did it subconsciously to feel “good enough” about ourselves. Finally, Megan shares her plan to escape her 9-5 in pursuit of a life that is aligned with her purpose in a very exciting and inspirational leap of faith.

Hello hello! In this episode, co-host Megan sits down with us and lets us in on some of her most transformative life moments and the lessons that have followed.

She also offers her perspective on the importance of following your own gut and intuition above the input of others and how her life changed when she took a huge risk and moved across the country straight out of college. Megan’s courage, realness, and wisdom shine through in the valuable advice she gives us in today’s episode.
