• 45: The Pressure Behind the Pulpit - Marriage and Ministry feat. Jonathan & Ashley Hardy
    Sep 23 2026

    In this episode Austin and Rachel sit down with Jonathan and Ashley Hardy to talk about a pressure that often goes unseen in the Church: the pressure that pastors and ministry leaders face in their marriage.

    When your life is dedicated to serving others, leading people, carrying responsibility, and answering God's call, it can be easy for your own marriage to take the back seat... whether on purpose or not! But who is supporting the marriages of the people supporting everyone else? If you serve or lead in the church in any capacity, you don't want to miss this very real conversation between the Holts and Hardys!

    See why strong marriages need support too and why prioritizing it doesn't take away from your ministry, in fact, it's quite the opposite! Leaders need leaders. Ministers need to be ministered to. And Pastors need to surround themselves with support in their marriage.

    As Jonathan says, "You can't afford not to.". Was this episode helpful to you? Like, rate, and share it with a pastor, ministry leader, or couple who needs to hear it!

  • 40: How We Parent (and What Actually Works)
    Nov 10 2025

    Parenting is one of the greatest callings(and one of the greatest learning opportunities) of a marriage.

    In this unscripted conversation, Austin and Rachel talk about what it looks like to parent consciously, as a team. Second only to their personal relationship with God and their marriage, Austin and Rachel see parenting as one of their highest callings as Christians. They believe the Lord has entrusted them with souls to steward, which is an honor and responsibility far too great to approach by simply “winging it.” In this episode you will learn some of Austin and Rachel's conscious parenting methods, rooted in scripture, and backed by real data, and the ways discipline and connection work hand in hand.

    They also highlight Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline by Dr. Becky Bailey. Go read or listen to it as a couple today: https://amzn.to/4qZ8zvR

  • 38: What does it mean to be a Conscious Christian?
    Jul 3 2025

    Is “being conscious” just trendy New Age talk-or is it exactly what Christians are called to become? If you’ve ever wondered what conscious even means in a biblical context, this episode will bring clarity.

    In this episode Austin and Rachel discuss the difference between a typical Christian and a Conscious Christian-someone who’s actively healing, growing, and living with intention through the power of the Holy Spirit.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in repeating spiritual struggles or wondered why the fruit of the Spirit isn’t showing up the way you hoped, this conversation is for you.

    This episode builds on themes from previous, so if you’ve been tracking with us-this is where the pieces really start to click. 💛
