This summer, we are taking a break on recording new episodes and instead, we are pausing to read scripture, revisit our favorite episodes, and meditate on His Word.

In this conversation, Laken and Blaine explore various aspects of boundary-setting, from managing screen time and establishing bedtime routines to carving out "me-time" and maintaining open communication with their husbands. They share personal anecdotes, practical tips, and even a few humorous mishaps that every parent can relate to.

Tune in to discover:

• Strategies for effectively communicating boundaries with children and partners.
• How to navigate the guilt that sometimes accompanies boundary-setting.
• Real-life examples of boundary-setting successes and challenges.
• How boundaries are meant to protect you and not hurt others.

Whether you're a new parent seeking guidance or a seasoned pro looking for fresh perspectives, this episode is sure to resonate with you. Join us for a great conversation on the power of establishing healthy boundaries for a more balanced and fulfilling season of life.

What does it look like when we aren't hearing from God? Is He silent? Or is it our posture towards him? Are we listening for the voice of God?

This week, Blaine and Laken take a minute (or 26) to talk through what seasons of desert land look like for each of them. There's also some helpful advice for navigating these seasons, and it might not be what you expect. Share your feedback with us!

You've heard the saying, "It takes a village," but what does that really look like in everyday life? Do you have to be a parent to use the expression? Does it only apply to people who have kids? How do you find your village, your people to help you navigate each season of life?

We break down what parenting with a village looks like in this week's episode. But, we don't stop there! Laken and Blaine each describe what this decades-old saying means for them personally and in different seasons, not just parenthood. We also offer ways for you to be the village for someone else.

There are just not enough hours in the day or week to get all the things done. Sit down with Laken and Blaine as we each talk through a few things we wish we had time for. We go from a wish list to an action list: evaluate the hours you spend on (fill in the blank) and then prioritize what really matters.

Not enough time for working out? Never enough hours for date night? Let's look at how we spend our time and how to choose wisely on what we'll spend it on.

Practice makes perfect... or does it? In this week's episode, we talk through what Sabbath is. What does it mean? Where does it come from? Did God actually rest?

Sabbath rest often looks different for every person. What Sabbath means for one person could be vastly different from another. Abraham Heschel, a rabbi, said, "If you work with your hands, sabbath with your mind. If you work with your mind, sabbath with your hands."

We share practical examples for what resting looks like for us and what it looks like when we don't rest and retreat for a day, a week, or even a few hours each week.

What does your Sabbath look like? Do you practice rest? Remember - there are no rules, but rest is a command.
