Bible Verse Quoted: "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:12-20

From TK & Taylor Swift to Netflix and cheeseburgers, Brandi and Courtney talk about their personal walks with the Lord and the difficulty of keeping the focus on God and what He desires most--which is for His children to have a deep and intimate connection with Him.
Scriptures:
1 John 15-17
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world-the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does-comes not from the Father but from the world."
Psalm 34:8
"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him."

For some, that message begins in childhood. Special guest, Cami Graves shares her childhood trauma from divorce and being raised primarily by her father. Cami discusses how her mom leaving at the age of seven, fueled the narrative that she, "wasn't enough for her to stick around."
Cami discusses how that narrative continued throughout her life and into her journey of trying to become a parent. She briefly discusses her struggles with infertility. Cami discusses how the narrative of not being enough for her mom as a child morphed into not being enough to be a mom.
