Whether your prayer life feels dry or you're hungry for more, this conversation will challenge and equip you to go deeper.

Forgiveness sounds simple until you're the one who has to do it. Palace and Taylor explore what the Bible teaches about forgiveness and reconciliation—looking at God's forgiveness of us, receiving forgiveness from others, and the hard work of extending it to those who've caused pain. Through stories like the prodigal son, Joseph, and Peter, they unpack what healing and freedom actually look like.

How do you stay rooted in your faith when you're constantly connected? Palace and Taylor get honest about the tension between our online presence and our real-life walk with God—covering everything from comparison and curated perfection to digital distractions that pull us away from what matters. This is a conversation about using social media without losing yourself in it, and why what happens offline matters most.

Palace and Taylor kick off Between Destinations with an honest conversation about where they've been and where they're headed. In this first episode, they reflect on 2025, look ahead to 2026, and talk about what it means to truly trust in God—even when the path forward isn't clear. It's a casual chat about faith, surrender, and staying open to wherever He leads.

My husband takes over hosting duties this week to interview me about my faith journey. We dive into how Jesus met me in a season of deep loneliness, the friendships He brought into my life, and that crucial moment when I had to choose whether to keep following Him. It's vulnerable, honest, and probably the most personal episode we've ever recorded.Both capture the intimate, conversational tone while highlighting the key themes of loneliness, friendship through Christ, and pivotal faith decisions that would resonate with your audience of Christian women navigating their own faith journeys.

Our friend Austrie joins us to share her testimony of teenage faith, life-changing commitment, and finding purpose through loss. From her work in youth ministry to navigating grief after losing her father to suicide, this conversation is full of hope, healing, and practical wisdom for connecting with the next generation.

Sometimes the most beautiful stories of redemption come from the most difficult beginnings. Karla shares her raw journey from a challenging upbringing and teenage pregnancy to moving to Australia, resisting church, and struggling with drugs - until one miraculous moment changed everything. Now she's serving God with her whole heart. This conversation is a powerful reminder that there's no story too complicated for God to redeem, no background too messy for Him to use. If you've ever wondered if your past disqualifies you from God's purposes, Karla's testimony will encourage your heart that He specializes in turning our mess into His message.

Our friend Wiki shares his journey of encountering Jesus through a miracle in New Zealand, then walking away and moving to Sydney, and finding his way back to faith years later.

If you've ever felt like you've wandered too far from God or wondered if He can use your messy middle chapters, this episode will encourage your heart.

What happens when you're faithful to God in the waiting seasons, and He's faithful to fulfill His promises in ways you never expected?

This conversation reveals how God's timing is perfect, even when it doesn't feel like it. If you're in a season of waiting and wondering if God sees you, this episode will remind you that His promises are worth the wait.

We tackle Matthew 7 - you know, the chapter with all the verses that make us squirm a little. 'Judge not' (but what does that actually mean?), narrow gates, and that parable about building on rock vs. sand. We're getting real about the passages we love to quote and the ones we'd rather pretend Jesus didn't say. This conversation might challenge some things you thought you knew about faith.

Palace and Taylor dive into Matthew 6, where Jesus gets incredibly practical about the things that keep us up at night - money, anxiety, and trying to please everyone. This chapter hits different when you realize Jesus isn't just giving spiritual advice, but actual life strategies for finding peace in a chaotic world. From the Lord's Prayer to 'consider the lilies,' we're unpacking what it looks like to live with kingdom priorities in a world that tells us to worry about everything.
