This was my first time talking to Christian artist, Jordan St. Cyr. It is probably not the sign of a healthy person to dump your Jr. High trauma on someone you just met, but Jordan seemed to have a kind heart. My suspicion was proven true when he wrote a song to help me heal from a horrific Jr. High wedgie. We also talked seriously about how music can help us through some of our… … Continue reading
Photo Op is where Wally makes us send him the last photo we took on our phones and tell him the story behind it. Which photo do you like the best? Recently we did a video shoot and Betty had to concentrate really hard. I know this because when she does, her tongue always sticks out of the side of her mouth. It is interesting that her concentratin’ face also looks a lot like her… … Continue reading
“How am I going to do this?” The thought rang through my mind as I stood washing dishes alone late at night. My husband was out of town, my kid was super sick, and I had a full plate at work. I was overwhelmed and immediately my thoughts when to the “what ifs.” “What if my son gets super sick in the middle of the night?” “What if I can’t go to work tomorrow? I’m… … Continue reading

There are times in life where you realize that you’ve been a hypocrite. I’ve written blogs before about struggling with insecurities when it comes to my body. I’ve published podcasts featuring experts that preach body positivity. But still, I struggle. Recently, I had to face the always-daunting task of shopping for jeans. I knew I needed to go up a size and had finally come to terms with it when a saleswoman sent me into… … Continue reading
As someone who struggle with anxiety and depression myself, I was so grateful when Jen Ledger from Skillet was honest about her own battle with anxiety. She said her fellow bandmate Kory was a huge help in teaching her how to fight so we sat down to hear what truly helped and how Jen is doing now. We cover how to view our problems in light of who God is, how to prepare for the… … Continue reading
Monday School is Wally’s chance to share what he learned at church and to prove he went. This week’s discussion: Jesus singled Peter out when he rose from the grave to make sure Peter knew he was alive, and we discuss why that might have been. … Continue reading

Chris Tomlin didn’t get to where he is today without having people who believed in him help him out along the way. That is why this is so cool. We partnered with Chris to give a worship leader a once in a life time opportunity; to open for Chris Tomlin at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater! Aaron McClain was our winner and the look on his face said it all when we surprised him by… … Continue reading
