Valley + View

We're back with another super light topic for easy listening: burdens. Have you ever felt the holy weight of someone or something that left you wondering, "What do you actually want me to do with that, God?" If so, you're certainly not alone. In this episode, Allie and I discuss what a burden might look/feel like, why God may lay burdens on our hearts, and some of our personal burdens and how we're learning to navigate them. You know the drill... grab your favorite drink and let's chat!

The Reverend of the Pod is back for her inaugural ep of Season 2! In this episode Mal and I get real about going through dry spells in our faith. What do we do? How do we get out? Can we get back to where we were before? Should we go back the way we came? We sure don't have all the answers, but we have some ideas and personal experiences. Happy listening!

Wellllll... sorry (not sorry) for ghosting you for 6 months! We're calling it "Season 2" and what an episode to jump back into things. On this episode, Al and I talk about walking fully in your confidence in Christ, my personal Confidence Crisis of 2023 (it involves a Carol Brady haircut and purple eyeshadow...) and overcoming the darkness along the way. Grab your bevy and let's hangout!
