Listen in while Beth Ann & Emily tie this one up with a bow, just in time for Christmas!Find out what this season meant to us and how it inspired us to have fun in our personal everyday lives. Join us for a rapid fire round where we hit some other “fun” topics that we didn’t get to on the pod. We hope you’ve enjoyed this season as much as we have. Merry Christmas and “KEEP HAVING FUN!”
Food! Preparing it, enjoying it, sharing it with others… one thing we all require is food to fuel our bodies. To Caleb Hutchcraft, food is much more than that. It is a passion, an art, a science, a hobby, and a whole lot of FUN! Join us in our conversation with Caleb, where we talk about how he became an “unofficial” chef alongside being a pastor, the biblical significance of food, his favorite dishes to make and eat, his favorite restaurants, what to do about picky eaters, Emily’s chicken pot pie🫣, and more. There are so many “wow” moments in this one that we may have suggested Caleb write a book. We’ll have him back on the pod when he does! 😉
Join us as we chat with Winnie Green (and her sweet toddler granddaughter! Bonus!) about finding joy and having fun in our every day lives. We talked a lot about finding joy in different stages of parenthood as well as the delight of being a grandparent. Winnie’s whimsical flair and zest for life is contagious and her honest and loving nature really shines through. This episode really meant a lot to us and our mama hearts and inspired us to live loved and love big. 🤍
You may have come across one of @everydaywithHK’s couple’s challenge reels on Instagram. That is where we found this amazing couple and soon noticed that along with how endearing and funny they were, they also didn’t shy away from sharing their faith and talking about the more difficult parts of life. Join us as we talk with Hope & Kadero Watson about having fun as believers, having fun with your spouse, how they got to where they are today, and more. There is a lot of laughter + a lot of wisdom! What better combination?! We absolutely adore them and loved this conversation!
🌸 In this episode, we interview Jessi Phillips from @ladyandthelads and @rosedale1811 about having fun by pursing hobbies and passions! Jessi is an old soul with a fresh outlook on life! She shares all about her family, farm, you-pick flowers, and love of antiques. We are digging deep (literally) into the art of finding your passion, and how that can blossom into opportunities for friendship and fellowship! Who says our kids are the only ones to have fun! We should find things that bring us joy, too!
We decided to have some FUN with this episode by interviewing each other with some random, surprise questions. Answers unprepared, unfiltered, and unedited! Enjoy!

We’re back with another “update episode!” We talked to Sophia (Beth Ann’s sister) way back in Episode 15 and recently caught up with her again to talk about some pretty big life updates!
This is a great episode to share with your teens, college students, singles, parents…okay, basically anyone! Sophia shares what she has learned through international mission work and about intentional dating/dating for marriage which seems a little radical in today’s world.
It was a great conversation with lots to take away. We love having someone to speak to the “younger crowd” because, well, it’s been a minute since our 20’s.
Jenny Brown is back with a life update! You may remember her from when she was on the pod in 2020!!!
Since our last interview, Ryan and Jenny Brown have written “The Marriage Experience”: Weekly Conversation Starters to Build the Relationship You Desire.
It’s 52 weeks of guided prompts with a short, biblically-based reading each week, designed to help couples have intentional, affirming, strengthening conversations with each other.
Jenny shares all about the book and we discuss marriage advice for all seasons. It’s great, practical advice!
If you decide to keep listening, skip on back to episode 12 and listen to when she shared her faith journey from childhood to adulthood, saying “yes to God”, and being a pastor’s wife.

This is a timely chat as prices on gas, food, and everything?! seem to be on the rise. Megan McManus, a wife, mom of three, and RN with a passion for nutrition and fitness, sat down with us (in person!) to share what she’s learned and implemented in her daily personal (and spiritual) life as well as budget friendly hacks for eating, shopping, and working out. We also talk about feeding kids because the struggle is real, y’all, the struggle is r e a l.
We love to listen to an episode like this when we are needing some extra “oomph” to take care of ourselves, to push play on that workout, to keep making good food choices, etc. A listen like this really helps motivate!
So put those headphones in and listen, learn, and be inspired!
