Episode 20 welcomes guest Michael Olson for a candid conversation about the Psalms, worship, and how driven personalities learn to sit with emotion in the presence of God. The hosts and Michael explore personal stories—from fearful church upbringings to the power of Sabbath, music, and poetry—to show how the Psalms give words for honest prayer and faithful living.

They also touch on identity, generational reconciliation, and practical ways to engage scripture as song rather than a problem to solve, encouraging listeners to bring their whole lives into communion with God.

In this episode, we dive into the complexities of parenting, the emotions tied to empty nesting, and rediscovering purpose as children leave the nest. We share personal experiences and offer insights on how parents can embrace this transition period with faith and optimism, turning it into an opportunity for personal growth and spiritual renewal.

Additionally, we explore the biblical narrative of Esther, illustrating how God's presence and guidance are woven subtly yet profoundly throughout. We uncover the hidden messages and lessons found in the Book of Esther, reflecting on how God's fingerprints are present even when not overtly visible.

Join us as we engage in meaningful conversations filled with laughter, insights, and biblical wisdom, aiming to encourage and equip listeners in their life journeys, parental transitions, and spiritual walks.

Episode 18 closes out summer as the hosts both pick Psalm 1 as their favorite and unpack its key themes: delighting in God’s law, meditating day and night, and how small choices lead into larger sin (the Lot analogy).

They discuss law versus grace, the seasons of spiritual growth, the image of the tree and the chaff, and what it means to prosper in life beyond finances.

The episode also includes candid thoughts on worship, a light-hearted boots-and-rodeo anecdote, and a tease about next time’s focus on songs and a worship guest.
