The Life We Make Podcast
The Life We Make Podcast is about two childhood best friends talking about their life experiences at college. Join us as we discuss the highs and lows of college and the life we make in this world!
In this episode, we explore the reality of being imperfect beings. As Christians, God extends his grace to us amidst our missteps. Rather than fixating on setbacks, we must recognize that our faith journey is characterized by progress and learning. It's about embracing the journey, acknowledging the challenges, and trusting in the eventual fulfillment of God's promises.

Can I get a "Go Bulls!" Today we will be covering the pros and cons of attending a big university. These are just some of the pros and cons I have collected after evaluating both my time at a small university and a big university. Before you make a decision on whether to attend a big university, it is important to understand why you want to attend a large college. What makes it appeal over a smaller school? Or vice versa- why would you prefer a smaller school? This can help you weed out your college search.

Let's Talk Enneagram- The Enneagram is a personality typing system that shows how a person can view and interpret the world in one of nine ways. It has become pretty popular in recent years and many people use it for self growth. Unlike most personality assessments, the Enneagram is a tool that allows you to understand better why you do the things that you do and is more internally focused on personality aspects such as core fears and desires, but that's just the surface level of the Enneagram. The more you dig into the Enneagram, the more you'll realize that there is so much more to it than just nine types so, we encourage you to take the test and discover what motivates you, to do you! In this episode we briefly go over what the Enneagram is, describe all the personality types, and then dive deeper into our Enneagram numbers. Listen to get the inside scoop on what numbers we identify most with and let us know if you relate to any of the personality types we mentioned!
