  • Today we got to interview someone we’ve been hoping to meet for a long time and that’s a personal favorite author, counselor and teacher, John Eldredge! You may know John from his most popular book, Wild at Heart, a book Andrew recommends to everyone. “Wild at Heart” has inspired a ministry that currently includes events, retreats , a podcast and several additional books published by John. As parents of two boys, it was really impactful to talk to John about how to best support, encourage and raise confident young men in today’s world. We hope you learn as much from this conversation as we did :)

    Love you guys!

  • Want to know what happens when a couple that’s been married for 8 years plays the same game that engaged couples play at their rehearsal dinner? Then you’re in the right place! ;) Grab your significant other and play the “shoe game” with us in real-time! Crazy how after eight years of marriage we somehow still learn so much about each other through these games and we hope you feel the same!

  • Today we debunked some common myths about marriage that, honestly, we really disagreed with! It was interesting to look at some misconceptions people have about what happens when you say “I Do” and share our take on them. Marriage is so special to us and although it takes work, it’s SO worth it! Let us know if you’ve heard any other marriage myths in the comments below!

  • Today is a big day for us because we got to interview the legend known as “The Pommel Horse Guy” and that’s 2-time Olympic medalist, Stephen Nedoroscik! We’ve been dying to interview Stephen from the moment we saw him compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He stole the crowd with his contagious smile and lovable energy and he has continued his incredible journey on Dancing With the Stars, where he’s been absolutely crushing it! We left this interview loving Stephen even more than we did before meeting him and we hope you feel the same way :)

  • In today’s episode, we dove into the different stages of parenting and the incredible yet difficult moments that come with each one. From Infancy to young adulthood, it was cool to walk through each age range and talk about what we’re looking forward to (or terrified about) the most. If you’re a parent out there, let us know if you can relate!

  • We took our three kids to the Olympic Games and made a month-long trip out of it where we adventured through France, London and Italy. It was incredible in so many ways and we’re beyond thankful for our time as a family but if you’re a parent out there you know that traveling anywhere with three kids can bring a whole different set of challenges. Overall, our trip was amazing and we wanted to spend this episode answering some of the questions you had for us! We hope you enjoy :)
