Hey, are you still there?

Join Mike and Beth each week as they examine life at the intersection of MARRIAGE, FAMILY, CAREERS, and MINISTRY. Through 29 years of ministry, 27 years of marriage, 24 years of professional careers, and 22 years of being parents to 3 kids, their fun and honest discussions promise to have something for everyone.

"In the land of ‘heavy’ podcasts that are divisive or featuring so-called experts self-promoting, yours is a breath of fresh air. A podcast exists to just talk about life, to have fun, with no agenda or script. In other words, “nothing”. Entertaining and enjoyable. And sometimes “something. “

"This is ridiculous, but sometimes funny." (A teenage kid to his mom, who was listening in the car)
