  • In today’s episode, we review the book No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler. So many of us here have reading goals, so we review a book together once a quarter to help us make progress on our reading goals, read together in community, and learn from great books. Through this book review, we explore the depths of Kate’s learnings as she discovers she has cancer. We review some of our favorite quotes, things we learned and will take away, and applications from this book with all of you. This book was a heavy one, but truly, it instilled what we know already to be true. We are living for a capital L legacy, and our days are numbered. So what we decide to cultivate matters deeply, so live your one beautiful and precious life today, friends.

  • In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey are in a slump and talk about how to navigate it. We discuss what it’s like when we have no momentum, are in a weird tough season, or aren’t seeing much progress on our goals. Been there? You too? Join us as we talk about the solemn reality of being in a slump and as we have some laughs along the way too. Slumps are a part of life and a part of goal setting, but there is so much to learn in these seasons together!

  • In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey complete part 2 of How to Cultivate Friendships. Not often talked about in friendships, we talk about texting, ghosting, and hard conversations. At their core, we’d enter into deeper friendships and foster greater connection if we’d focus on communicating more clearly, being willing to go beyond the surface level, and being willing to have hard conversations. We share personal examples and stories in our lives that have been challenging yet refining in the way we approach friendship. Friendship is a part of a rich and beautiful life, and it’s so worthwhile to cultivate!

  • In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey wanted to talk about connection since we’re so close to Valentine’s Day. So we decided to talk about what every person needs in their lives, whether you’re in a relationship or not – friendship!! Having a place to belong and people to connect with are crucial to our health, well-being, and growth as individuals. We can’t go it alone. We explore the staggering statistics behind depression, suicide, and being “together but apart” in our technology driven society. It can be a lonely world, but it doesn’t have to be. We explore a few easy ways to foster connection and grow friendships (new or old) in our lives. Having friends by our side is what makes life so meaningful and worthwhile, so let’s cultivate friendships together for a more purposeful life lived together!

  • In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey share a pep talk with you. About this time of the year, discouragement sets in. Doubts and questions of why we aren’t making more progress by now swirl in our heads. We offer a pep talk about waiting in the process of goal setting, how it’s key to our growth, and how it actually becomes a beautiful part of changing and shaping us for the capital L legacy we want to leave when we’re 80. Waiting isn’t always easy, but it’s a part of the journey of our lives. We hope this episode encourages you as you wait on progress, on achieved goals, and on the legacy you’re living!

  • In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey kick off the 5th and final episode in the Building Better Goals series featuring big dreams. Big dream goals can be daunting and overwhelming, and many might say, “where do I even start?” We break down what it is, what it’s comprised of, and why you should set and pursue big dream goals in your life. Sometimes, various feelings can also mean we’ve pushed big dreams aside, and we want to encourage you to revisit those big dreams with hope not fear. We hope to encourage you and inspire you in taking a few practical steps to voicing, planning, and executing on your big dream goals. They’re possible, friends!

  • In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey review The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington. This book talks about how we’ve all been doing planning for our personal and professional lives wrong – we’ve got to stop thinking in 1 year periods and switch to 12 weeks. Shorter periods of time allow us to drive urgency to accomplish our goals, see results quicker, celebrate more often, execute on an effective plan, and steward our time WAY more strategically. We share our favorite nuggets, how we’d use it in our own lives, and how we’d rate it and recommend it to others. Thanks for listening to this quarter’s book review!

  • In today’s episode, we’re talking about the everyday realities of living in a broken world. Our minds can also become conformed to think negatively and reject any thankfulness. Packed with Scripture, we shed light on how we can change the lens we view life with because of Christ and what He did for us. With gratitude, it can change everything. With a couple of practical examples that are science backed, we hope you can begin practicing gratitude in your everyday life, not just during Thanksgiving. Know that we’re so grateful for you!

  • In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey sit down for coffee with one of our Goal School Premium members, Lisa Hartung, who shared her grief with us in this community last year. After watching her grieve for her mother and putting her grief into action in marathon training and community building, we had to have her share her compelling story with everyone. As a people lover fueled with purpose, she shares her story with such radiance that we hope will encourage and inspire you too. May these words encourage your heart if you’re grieving in this season, and may you know you don’t have to do it alone!

  • In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey talk about what we’re all thinking right about this time of year. If it’s November and we only have 2 months left of this year, what do we do to accomplish our goals or do we just throw in the towel? We’re with you in this, and you’re not alone! We hope this episode helps you go from feeling paralyzed or shell shocked and at a standstill to feeling confident in your decisions to start, stop, or go slower on finishing up your goals for this year. In 3 simple steps, we give you an outline on how to approach whatever remains on your to-do list for the year. All in all, your progress isn’t dependent on the perfect time to do it, but it is dependent on the choice to do it. We’re so glad you’re here, and we hope this episode helps you navigate the last 2 months of 2023!
