  • Favorite Podcast!

    I listen to a variety of podcasts and Family Life Today has always been my favorite! Ann and Dave are always laughing with each other and the people they interview, so I always feel like I’m entering into a living room of people who are having a blast yet learning about the Lord with vulnerability—and I’m invited! Though I’ve never me Ann and Dave, there podcast makes me feel like I know them and they are some of my mentors as I navigate being a young mom and wife.
