Today’s conversation was such a meaningful one, wow we loved this couple. Rebecca St. James has won countless Grammy and Dove awards, is an accomplished actress and the author of more than a dozen books. You probably recognize her husband, Cubbie Fink, as a founding member of the multi-platinum Grammy-nominated band Foster the People. While they’ve both experienced high success, one of the coolest things about them is that they’ve been so open about the hard seasons they've walked through together and it’s helped so many people. In their new book, they open up about their journey with infertility, childhood trauma, depression, processing emotions, career, parenting and more. Honestly anyone can learn something from their story, they’re amazing. We hope if you’re going through a hard season, after listening to this episode you feel encouraged to keep going.  

We love you!

Have you ever wondered how early is too early to start teaching your kids some responsibilities around the house? We have and that’s why we absolutely loved this conversation about teaching our kids how to clean up in a fun and helpful way with the world-renowned experts themselves, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin from “The Home Edit!” Clea and Joanna recently released their newest children’s book “The Rainbow Cleanup” to show kids that cleaning can be fun! Now, as the hosts of “Extreme Makeover Home Edition,” Clea and Joanna are helping kids and adults alike stay organized and live a more simplistic, peaceful life! Parents out there- definitely give this one a listen :)

Love you guys!

Today we got to talk about one of our biggest passions in life and that’s family. Our incredibly wise guest, Jeremy Pryor, is basically an expert on this, as he’s founded several businesses and nonprofits including FamilyTeams, which provides training content for families around the world. He’s also a husband and dad of five so he really knows what he’s talking about :)  We got to dive into how to build a strong family unit, what we can learn about the importance of family from different cultures, leaving a legacy for generations to come and more! This was a really important conversation and one we’ll definitely revisit to stay on track with our own family “team”  :) 

Love you guys!

We absolutely had to make a part two of this “Weirdest Family Traditions” episode because we had such a blast recording part 1! Seriously you guys, getting to read through your family’s weirdest traditions for each holiday made us SO incredibly happy and honestly inspired us to introduce a few new traditions into our own family this year! Let us know in the comments if you plan to incorporate any of the traditions from part 1 or part 2 into any upcoming holidays :) 

Love you guys,

How is 2024 coming to an end already?! This year was amazing in so many ways. Between the Olympics in Paris to getting in a groove as a family of five, 2024 was filled with so many wonderful memories, both big and small. We are beyond grateful for all of your support and it’s been such an honor to go through this last year with you.

Love you guys!

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 sat down with our friend, Jeremy Bloom, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the first dual-sport athlete to ski in the Winter Olympics and be drafted into the NFL.
