life is a process. & yet, somehow, so is death. everyday we live, we exist in the tension between the two…for every breath, we die a little more. poets, theologians, songwriters, philosophers of every sort alike have tried to put words to this experience that we all know deep in our very bones.

& still, there is so much unknown & so many questions to be asked. i think of child loss…for me, having had lost our firstborn oliver at just 2 days old, it came as a shock (to put it lightly) when not even a year and a half after our loss we got the call that our good friend taylor had lost her sweet little boy elijah—who was only 5 at the time—in a car accident. 💔

this is not an easy one…in this episode, nearly 5 years after her loss, taylor & i discuss her story. taylor so graciously & bravely retreads her life, from growing up, working through faith & doubts alongside jesus, having a little boy enter her life & dramatically change it, his traumatic exit from this earth & the journey to get to where she is now. there is such a beauty here in taylor’s story…one of roots put down to hold firm. one of life, death & even of rebirth.

a word: loss. it’s a touchy subject for many. whether you have or not (yet), it is something we will ALL have to become familiar with. if you’ve lost, i see you & i am so sorry for your loss…& if you haven’t, let this episode give you insight to those around you who have…lead with love. listen. & be. 💛

ya know, sometimes for the sake of reminiscing, it’s easy to get lost in nostalgia or looking back on days passed as “the glory days..." however, rarely has that been the case when i look back at the last half of my life in light of one of my closest & best friends, because though the past (with so many good times!) has given context, our present tense friendship has always been in focus. 👀

ian & i are like brothers. we’ve been friends since we were around 15 (like, just babies lol) & we have changed & grown. A LOT! but, over time one thing is consistent about ian: he has a genuine heart for the people around him & is such an encouraging dude. encouragement bleeds out of him everywhere he goes, from his home to his work place to his church to every relationship he has...& i’m so thankful to be one of those people in his life!

if you’ve seen a void, in your own life or the people/environments around you (not enough kindness, honesty, etc.), then FILL IT. it's showing up to YOU for a reason. i hope this one can be an encouragement on your journey. 💛

well, i'm back & it feels sooooooo good! 🌻

it's been...a year. yes, since last season, but also, this year, man...it has held A LOT!
so, like a couple friends catching up over a cup of *insert preferred beverage,* this episode is a quick life update, for both myself & a handful of season 1 guests, sharing the goal & mission statement of our brand new house + studio space (yay!) & "sonder"--a word on the heart-space this season is built around.

last season i (somehow) kept up with weekly releases of episodes. so. much. work! this time around, they will come out whenever i get the chance...hopefully often but i'm not forcing it either.

expect the first episode of season 2 to drop shortly...i can't wait for you to hear this one. anyways, i'm just really happy you're here 🖤
