"Who can estimate the influence of a kind act? It may affect an entire life, or save a soul. Someone once truly said, “Blessed are we when we give joy even, for we do not know where it will end." Who can tell how often the memory of a simple act of kindness will cheer and soften the heart for many years hence?" - John Dale

The Importance of Kindness

On this episode, Mary Scott sits down with Shae to share a little bit behind her bliss of working in ministry, why it's worth it to pursue the Lord in hard seasons, how to be a friend and let people be a friend to you through all circumstances, and how to also cultivate a "high touch environment" in your little window of the world.

Nurturing Your Friendships Through Thick and Thin with Shae Tate | Episode 05

Rachel and Mary Scott had the absolute PLEASURE of interviewing Emily for today’s episode. If you follow us on Instagram, you may have seen us post a few (ok WAY more than a few) of our favorite episodes from Emily’s podcast, The Next Right Thing. Thankfully for all of us who glean so much from her podcast, Emily wrote a book also called The Next Right Thing that releases next Tuesday, April 2. We got advanced copies of the book and devoured it just like we do her podcast every single week.  If you’re in the middle of a decision making process (or dread decisions in general) we recommend pressing “play” and letting Emily speak Truth over your life and decisions. Enjoy!

A Real Talk About Depression with Hannah Brencher | Episode 44

In this episode, Rachel chats with Amy Wolff about loving others when you disagree with them. We all have those people a part of our story: the ones that you love so dearly but disagree on (small or sometimes larger) topics that create tension in the relationship. Amy speaks to that tension, asking questions and giving direction on how to move forward with the relationship. She shares her own journey of befriending someone who is quite the opposite of her, the story of losing her brother and how that intertwines into her wanting to love people well and make a difference, and the accidental movement she's created with it all. Cannot wait for you to tune in and start finding those ways to empathize with those around you.
