Today we chat with one of our dearest friends, Steph Mangan, all things Enneagram: what it is, why we connect with it, and how to use it as a tool in our lives! Join us as we unpack our Enneagram numbers and chat about our lightbulb moments of self-awareness and how that knowledge has helped grow us + shape our relationships with spouses, children, and friends! Understanding how we’re wired not only helps us be gentle with ourselves, but guides us to love + champion others.

As women, we often brave conversations about struggles with mental health. We find a sense of unity in knowing we aren't alone. We champion the idea of vulnerabiity!
But what about when our men--our husbands--are struggling, too? Why does it seem so taboo for vulnerability and men to be in the same sentence?!
So today, join Faith + Leah, and a special guest host, Muta Mwenya (husband|father|pastor|leader), as we have an honest conversation about vulnerability, mental health, and how we--as wives--can come alongside our husbands for healing and wholeness, and walking in the full capacity God has for them.
If you want to follow along with Muta: his life and his ministry, you can find him here:

When you find yourself standing in the middle of what was, and what will be--that season in the valley... how do you deal?! Today we are going to talk about living from "the middle". How we can trust that God is shaping us--even in the valley. That we don't have to just wait around for the end, but we can start living, truly living, from the middle. We are going to unpack how the gospel changes our hearts: from mountains to valleys.

Join Faith + Leah as they look forward to the coming year. They discuss resolutions and goals, and how sometimes, they can actually put you one step back. Is your journal from 2021 sitting empty? Is your gym membership sitting unused? We sometimes feel the need to set such high goals for ourselves and then are surprised when we fall short. This episode encourages listeners to look at the new year with a new perspective and discusses how we can support our friends as they work to achieve their goals.

Have you ever felt that you are just missing the mark? That you are chasing something that is just barely out of reach? And that if you hustle more, try harder, take every opportunity that comes your way, that then—maybe just maybe you’ll get to the place you want to be.
Do you find yourself measuring your worth in the sum total of your achievements and accomplishments, or your failures and shortcomings?
Join Faith and Leah as we talk about why we have so easily become preoccupied with striving for perfection in motherhood, when all we really need is grace, how we can take the pressure off ourselves and trust God, and how we can rest in God’s approval over everything else.

Join Faith + Leah as they tackle the raw subject of body image. We as women often struggle with accepting our bodies for what they are, and often have a distorted view of "beauty". In this episode we talk about how we can shape our mindset to reflect our beauty in the eyes of our creator, how we can support and mold our children, and how we can support other women.

Join Faith and Leah as they chat about those "in-the-thick-of-it" seasons of life that we sometimes want to press fast-forward on: whether it is because they are hard, lonely, or downright bad. We talk about how these seasons shape us, change us, and how we can find purpose in them. Sometimes our most transformative stories are uncovered in these seasons, and no season is ever wasted with God.
