From clogged toilets to nosy questions about marriage, we recount our most amusing holiday stories that remind us why we love—and sometimes endure—Thanksgiving.
But it’s not all fun and games; we take a reflective turn discussing the powerful role of music in our spiritual journeys. Music isn't just for entertainment—it's a conduit for worship and personal growth.

We explore how recognizing our human limitations can be a pathway to spiritual growth and a fuller presence in God's world. Through Chris’s stories and our reflections, discover how to slow down, embrace life’s imperfections, and find divine purpose in the everyday hustle.
