Tasha Layton’s song, “Look What You’ve Done,” is powerful and speaks deeply to a lot of people. However, I thought with just a few minor tweaks it could reach a whole new audience that needs to hear this important message! Tasha is a great artist, but her story makes her music even more powerful. She shared a stage with Katy Perry. She battled depression and suicide. But ultimately Tasha found peace in the God who… … Continue reading
Austin French’s song “Jesus Can” is fantastic. But I couldn’t resist thinking about what the song would sound like if it were written from a millennial’s point of view and called “Jesus Can, When I Can’t Even.” Austin was thrilled to learn that his song “Good Feeling” was featured in Pixar’s trailer for their upcoming film “Elio!” I was happy for him but we also had to discuss the elephant in the room when it… … Continue reading
Everybody is talking about how great artificial intelligence is, but can it write a hit song? Our prompt for A.I. was: to write a song about pizza and grace in the style of Matthew West. Matthew’s challenge was to turn the computer-generated words into a hit song and I have to say, he killed it! Matthew is one of the greatest Christian songwriters in the industry, but he can also write a funny song too.… … Continue reading
I’m so sorry for the mess! I didn’t have time to clean! Ignore the (toys, dog hair, etc.)! For years, at least one of these disclaimers would roll off my tongue the second a guest stepped into our house. It didn’t matter if I had spent the entire day cleaning, I felt that I had to apologize for actually living in my own home. I’m actively working on changing how I see our space–it’s lived in,… … Continue reading
Tara-Leigh Cobble has a great plan for reading through the Bible in one year called The Bible Recap.

Plus, as a bonus, we also found out that Tara-Leigh has a Bible crush on a guy in the Bible we had never heard of. Tara-Leigh has read through the Bible fifteen times. She is a student of… … Continue reading
Just in time for the fourth of July, Danny Gokey released a stellar rendition of the Lee Greewood classic, “God Bless the USA.” I know Danny is very proud to be an American, but we wanted to see what it would sound like if Danny was just as proud to be ‘Merican. If the single patriotic tear that rolled down my cheek is any indication, Danny absolutely crushed it! … Continue reading
Michael W. Smith wrote a book all about his father so we decided to quiz him to see how many famous TV dads he knows! The perfect person to play against Michael is my very own dad and super fan, Bruce. … 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? In the immortal words of internet sensation Sweet Brown, “Oh Lord Jesus it’s a fire!” That is what I experienced as the grill enclosure I built actually caught on fire! I was able to put it out before it burned down my house or… … Continue reading
Micah Tyler has a new song out called “Praise the Lord.” The music video shows that even when things go wrong, we can still have joy. One of the examples in the video was going to the dentist so we got some dental devices and played a game called Micah’s Big Mouth Music! Here is Micah’s new video that was the inspiration for our game! Micah Tyler’s new video “Praise the Lord,” emphasizes that it… … Continue reading
It has been a few years since I have traveled with Compassion International to see the work they do. I have to tell you it is such a great reset for me personally. It is a reminder that maybe the things I get super worked up about really aren’t that big of a deal after all. Life for the Masi in Kenya is hard. They have been in a drought for 2 straight years but,… … Continue reading
