Today we share tips you may not have heard, (or possibly forgot) that we've used and seen modeled in our Mennonite upbringing. After all, we all do it. So let's get motivated together!

  • BETTER TOGETHER: finding accountability in our friendships + earning honesty
    Oct 29 2024

    I think we all know we're better together and that's what today's episode is all about! Jayna started a new challenge with her friends so we talk about that. Plus, we tackle the delicate topic of accountability in friendships. When and how and if you should bring something up. We dive into the Mennonite culture and how we tend to do community well, but it's not a foolproof system. Sometimes, things happen. Even tragic things.

    Jun 11 2024

    There's no doubt the hunger for Amish romance novels is as strong as ever. But we have a better option for you. Think Laura Ingalls Wilder meets Beverly Lewis. Just kidding! But truely, we've learned so much about homemaking, motherhood, and living the Christian life through a book written about our great-great grandma. Listen in as we discuss Annie's life, lived as a Mennonite through some of the most pivotal events in American history. We learned so much! And the best part--- it's all true!

Today we break down some good old fashioned Mennonitisms that may or may not be exlusive to our culture and faith. Join us as we discuss cherished memories, and maybe a few cautions/pitfalls of living life as a Mennonite. Thanks for listening!
