#207 Rambling Through Life Updates, a Day Trip to NYC, and the Father's Love for Us
Rambling Through Everyday Life Podcast
This week’s podcast episode is extra special because it’s our last episode before January. We’re talking about some of our favorite Christmas traditions, Fran's recent day trip to New York City, and then we slow things down to reflect on our December memory verse: “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.’ Luke 2:10–11 As we close out the year, we’re reminded just how deeply God loves each one of us...

#203 Everyday Joys & A Heart for Discipleship
Rambling Through Everyday Life Podcast
In this week's conversation, we’re talking about the simple joys of everyday life and the beauty of true discipleship. When someone comes to know the Lord, what happens next? Who is coming alongside them as they begin to grow? And are we growing in God’s Word so we can pour into the people around us? We also chat about accountability: what it is, what it isn’t, and why real accountability isn’t about policing behavior but holding someone’s heart with care and honesty. Plus, we share our November memory verse: Philippians 4:8. We’d love to hear your thoughts on discipleship,...

#201 Fall Rambling
Rambling Through Everyday Life Podcast
This week’s podcast might just be one of our favorites yet. We talked about cozy fall things like a cranberry orange simmer pot and deeper things, like our thoughts, our struggles, and the way God transforms us through them. Somewhere between laughter and reflection, we found ourselves saying, “We’ve lost our ability to consider other perspectives,” and it hit us hard. We also talked about how sin, as painful as it is, can be the very thing God uses to change us from the inside out. And then this question: “Are you thinking about what you’re thinking about?” Because we average...

#199 We Can Do Hard Things!
Rambling Through Everyday Life Podcast
This week’s episode is full of real life and real faith — from Wendy’s chili 🍲 and football chatter 🏈 to Fran’s NYC adventures 🗽 (hello, Oyster Bay!) and even a little zombie paintball 💥. But beyond the laughs and stories, we’re diving deep into what it means to do hard things — to step into new, uncomfortable, and stretching seasons — and how the Lord meets us right in the middle of it all. We are both learning that we’re not failing… it’s just new. We’re growing in dependence on the Lord, recognizing that self-sufficiency feels safe and...

198 Fall Break Fun!
Rambling Through Everyday Life Podcast
This week's conversation is full of fall break fun including Angela's recent trip to Chicago and Fran's next adventure. Fran shares more great questions we can ask our children (and ourselves) as we consider who are becoming. We also contemplate the difference in ruminating vs. meditating as we consider our memory verse for October, 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and a sound mind." We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus while also learning, being challenged, and growing together...
info_outlineThis week’s conversation begins with our usual fun, lighthearted rambling as we get caught up on all kinds of things, but then becomes more serious as Fran elaborates on a Facebook post she wrote several weeks ago about a scary situation in our hometown. Fran shares how jail ministry gave her new perspective as the Lord continues to teach us so much about this world and all the people in it.
We hope this conversation causes each of us to consider who we are, what we believe, and what we hope for those desperately in need of Jesus. Every single one of us is broken. We all sin. Our sins aren’t the same, but sin is sin. Good works can’t save us. Religion can’t save us. Only Jesus saves. The cross is proof that our greatest need has already been met in Jesus. “We’ve all wandered off, but the Good Shepherd came looking for us.” Isaiah 53:6.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” John 14:6
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whosoever believes in him will not perish, but will have everlasting life.” John 3:16
