This week's podcast might just be one of our favorites yet. We talked about cozy fall things like a cranberry orange simmer pot and deeper things, like our thoughts, our struggles, and the way God transforms us through them.

Somewhere between laughter and reflection, we found ourselves saying, "We've lost our ability to consider other perspectives," and it hit us hard. We also talked about how sin, as painful as it is, can be the very thing God uses to change us from the inside out.

And then this question: "Are you thinking about what you're thinking about?" Because we average 10,000 thoughts a day, and each one can either pull us closer to life and peace or further into chaos.

Philippians 4:8–9 is our memory verse this month, and it's such a grounding reminder: to center our minds on what's true, noble, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy—and to actually live it out. When we do, the God of peace meets us right there.

We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus in our everyday lives while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives. We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all.

Some of our favorite quotes from this episode:

“You just start somewhere and you figure it out. There were stories to be told and we had lots of things to say. We just showed up and started talking.” Fran

“The consistent thing in every episode is we will always talk about the Lord and also the fun and ridiculous things in our lives. We have stayed true to who we are. There is a zero percent chance we will ever be too serious.” Fran

“Whatever hard thing you are doing, take time to celebrate the wins, no matter how big or small.” Angela

“Maybe you’ve said ‘no’ to something and you need to rethink it. Be brave enough to see what the Lord can do when you step outside your comfort zone.” Angela

Giddy Up, Eunice: Because Women Need Each Other! by Sophie Hudson

October memory verse: 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].”

This week’s episode is full of real life and real faith — from Wendy’s chili 🍲 and football chatter 🏈 to Fran’s NYC adventures 🗽 (hello, Oyster Bay!) and even a little zombie paintball 💥.

But beyond the laughs and stories, we’re diving deep into what it means to do hard things — to step into new, uncomfortable, and stretching seasons — and how the Lord meets us right in the middle of it all.

We are both learning that we’re not failing… it’s just new. We’re growing in dependence on the Lord, recognizing that self-sufficiency feels safe and comfortable, but true transformation happens when we rely on Him completely.

You’ll also hear updates on Fran’s final paper, some honest reflections on emotions, and a conversation about increasing our prayer lives and Bible literacy within the context of community.

📖 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

✨ Tune in for encouragement, laughter, and a reminder that the Lord is faithful to meet you wherever you are — even (and especially) in the hard things.

We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus in our everyday lives while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives. We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all.
