  SPEAKER_00: Hi friends, welcome back to the Simply Whole Hearted Podcast.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: And if you are new here, we are so glad you joined us.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks to our friends from Inner the Worship Circle, Ben Pasley and Carla Adolph, who have been so kind to share their song, heavenly things, from their album down here and up above.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: And since we have so many new friends around here, if you haven't heard much about Inner the Worship Circle, you'll have to take a listen to podcast episode number 26, Heart of the Pomas, to hear firsthand from Ben Pasley and Carla Adolph.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: They are awesome people and I love that conversation.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Well, today it's a special podcast to celebrate our one year of recording and sharing conversations with you all.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: A while back, I somehow convinced Ashley to go on this crazy adventure to share a mission of inspiring and equipping others to live an unplugged, purposeful, and intentional life.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: We personally are on a journey to live out the call to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: And we thought while we were on this adventure, we'd invite you along in hopes to encourage you by sharing stories of friends who are living out their calling and purpose with passion.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: So, this time the tables are turned, and Ashley and I get to be interviewed by our dear friend and fellow collective member, Bethany Riddle.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: I've known Bethany for about eight years, and we've shared many adventures and conversations.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: But it's a real honor to have her join us as we continue to walk out this simply wholehearted mission.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: She's our what I like to call an our in-house enneagram eight with the seven wings.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: And really basically, I need her in my life.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: Her personality helps keep us focused, truthful, honest, and laughing, which is always wonderful.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: We decided to park Bethany's big old van in Ashley's driveway.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: And you guys, this is an awesome van.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's yeah, it's epic.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I think we give some detailed description in the podcast.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's a lot of fun.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: We also got some chocolate to celebrate Ashley's birthday, which was the next day, and we started talking and I pushed the record button.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: I warn you now.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: Lots of laughing ensues, but we also discussed important things like who would die first in a zombie apocalypse, our phobias, and who would most likely get arrested.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Well, don't worry, we do lighten things up with new vocabulary words and the future of Simply Wholehearted Podcast.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: Really, we are so grateful to get to do what we do.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: And I think this will be a fun one to add some laughter to your day.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because I mean, really, one of mine lost a recent um birthday gift, like brand new the same day.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: That is sad.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: And at that was really, really hard.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: I like actually shed a little tear because I know it was bad.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's been really difficult.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: You just have to be real careful what you threaten.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's the thing.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I'll threaten something and then you have to follow.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: Did I just say that?
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: Stop it.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_02: I do that.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_02: I can't tell you how many times I've taken something away for like a whole month.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_02: And then I but then I will say, you know what?
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: I have changed my mind.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: I have decided to I spoke to the Lord about this, and we decided together two days.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: I just find a way for them to earn it back quicker.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like, can we redeem this situation?
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: I can just take with us.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: Whatever.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: So to bring that back around, we think that the doctor thinks somehow the ear infection is like, because you know, all the spirits different.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: Something with the ear is causing the eye thing.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: But he looks like he's winking.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: Like he's just constantly like doing the head, like what's up, how you doing?
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_02: He's constantly like, how you doing?
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, stop!
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_04: How are you doing?
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_04: Teacher, when it first started, his teacher said to the nurse, because she's like, he's just sitting here like blinking and twitching.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_04: I just pictured.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_04: I'm just looking at her, like, how are you doing?
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_04: Oh my god.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_03: So I need to tell her, listen, you have to come back, but still twitching, but don't you call me again?
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I'm not coming to get this child again.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just like imagining.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: I feel a segue.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: I think we're gonna need the segue right now.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: Anyhow.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: Oh god.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: This is why she wants you for the podcast.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: I'm mysterious.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's no fun.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: But we can't quite have the same flow.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we're sitting there, you're like Chansey spotty Wi-Fi to begin with.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: And you're trying to try to discern a guest.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and oftentimes our mic will interrupt the person's voice on the other side.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: And so we're trying to not do that, because otherwise then the sound quality is.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then it's just like they're just gonna talk and it's a little bit more.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: And then everyone's like, what's going on?
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: Or anyway.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: That's hard.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what we're really like when we're together, laughing.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: For real.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: So that's uh we'll do this, we'll just go straight in.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: So what you what was the first thing that gave you guys this idea to do this together?
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: Because I mean, I know that you have done you probably had the idea first, Amy, right?
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: No, totally, it was her idea all the way.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: Well, not really.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah, ish.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, you had the idea.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: Why don't you start first where you guys met?
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: Because I know that we've heard this, we've heard this before like a year ago though.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: So if we have some new listeners, they may not have heard this story yet.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: So why don't you start and tell the story how you guys met, and we'll go from there.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: Well Alright, Ashley, you talk.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: Tell it.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it was right after Radiant Church had started.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think I I don't remember exactly when it was.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: It may have been like literally like week one or two.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_02: It was right towards the beginning.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Like September.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, it was.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: 2016, right?
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_02: Really?
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, 2016.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_02: It would be 2016, yes.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_02: So they have prayer meetings and still do on Wednesday nights.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_02: And so I decided randomly, and I don't know that I've done this again except maybe once, but just one night I I thought I'm gonna go to the prayer meeting, and I'm gonna take my kids.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_02: Dave was working, and so I took the three kids in and went, and it was awful because it just for kids is a little bit tricky.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's tricky, it's tricky.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_02: And it was a kind of a small room, a small space, so but it was fine.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_02: We were in the back, but they're not which you know, some kids are accustomed to just having to go into a place like that and sit.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: Like they're already pre-trained.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_02: Well, my kids are not really.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_02: We've done some of that here and there, but they just weren't down with it.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_02: And so, and I did bring, I think I brought electronics too.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: I did, they had their tablets, but then I was like, I'm that mom.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: I'm the only mom in here.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: My kid is on a tablet, we were at a prayer meeting.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_02: This is not good, okay.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, you know, and so anyway, it was just that whole thing.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: So anyway, they weren't really behaving very well.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I just I heard a good idea.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: Someone, Megan, have you met Megan yet at church?
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, she came up to me uh Sunday to tell me.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, one of the things she was telling me is that she thinks that we should all, with those of us who are bringing kids to the prayer services, we should feel the freedom to sit in the front row.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: So that way our kids do not have to look at people's rear ends.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: That is why they get you maybe some more engaged.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: Because they can't get engaged, because they're looking at people's rear ends.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's a thought instead of I don't think that would have my particular set of children.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm afraid I would be th highly embarrassed, but there is some like food for thought.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_02: No, do you remember that the dream team party where my kids were hopping like frogs in the middle of David Perkins' little thing he was saying?
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_02: All of a sudden, my kids go hopping along the sidewall up towards the front, hopping like toads all the way up.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_02: So this is not my children's problem.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, yeah, but sorry, back to the story.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but back to the story.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: So, anyway, all that to say, the kids were not behaving, and so when it got to the end, it was like certain things we were praying for, and then he said, Okay, now just take a few minutes and pray for the somebody like near you.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, This is our exit, we are out of here.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: So I start kind of moving that direction, and then Amy comes over and she's like, Can I pray for you?
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Okay.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I was totally about to leave, but I don't want to look like a heathen, so okay.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: And so she prayed over me and it was wonderful, and I prayed a really like lame return prayer.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_02: No, I blessed right.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_02: Because I was lost out of perfect.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_02: And I always feel like my prayers are totally lame anyway.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, so but it's true.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: It's what I feel.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_02: And so anyway, that's how we met.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: And some I guess we exchanged numbers and yeah, I think we talked about a play date because we determined that our kids were about the same age.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: Though you had an older one, Kaylee, who was off at college and had recently left.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: She had a new she had left just within like a week.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: Were you handling it or were you like a hot mess?
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_02: No, I was mostly handling it pretty well.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, I mean the whole first year she was gone was kind of hard.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: Just it's a huge adjustment.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_02: But no, I mean I was handling it pretty well.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: But it is kind of what dominated our conversation.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: I uh well, not dominated, but but there was a lot of conversation at our because we determined, so we did get together, I think, our kids every once in a while, but that got tricky between homeschooling and school um that year, because I was homeschooling that year.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um so we decided 5 a.m.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Fridays that we would get together and walk and talk and pray.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: And we were gonna meet down the street from where our church was meeting.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, because our church uh meets at a middle school.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so we met at Starbucks and then we could walk um to where the school was where our church meets and kind of like pray and walk and talk.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: But we covered, I mean, we prayed for more than the church.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: We kind of covered the whole like you know, life and kids at the school we went to college and yeah, the things we were going through.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: So we just kind of started doing that, and I I was surprised because who meets you at 5 a.m.?
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: And not many people.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: A few.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: A few.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: A few will.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: Actually, it's grown.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: That list has grown mightily because there is like that has, yeah, exponentially.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but for me, it's the connection is worth it.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_02: You do my thing is you do what you have to do for connection and friendship.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_02: So if that means 5 a.m.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: you get up at 5.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: It was just really the only time that we could figure out where for the most part our husbands could hold down the fort while they were sleeping and we could reach everyone could be before anything important had to happen.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: Whether now for like for us it's like getting ready for school or you know, the hub sleeves and all that kind of good stuff.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: So how long were you doing that before like how long were you guys hanging out?
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: How long were you friends before you decided, okay, maybe there's maybe we should maybe people would like to hear us together.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: Not that long, maybe we should start recording these conversations.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my mom, we realized we were a powerful duo quickly.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: Well, what it was birthed from, I think.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: So for me, well, this is kind of where like the other side of it comes in, is where for a while Spencer knew Spencer actually had turned me on to podcasts.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um he had been the one first to listen to it because his job is really conducive, lots of driving.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: He can be up in a tree, have his earbuds in sometimes, and uh, you know, listen to stuff.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: And so he'd tell me about stuff.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: And then also had a really good friend who had turned me on to Read Aloud Revival, um which we're gonna have Sarah McKinsey on the podcast.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty exciting.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then I also listened to Java with Julie.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: And like those were my two primary ones.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, and then um at home with Sally, so Sally Clarkson's.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: So I had listened to those, and then I got turned on to Amy Porterfield, who's all about business stuff and online courses and webinars and all that kind of fun stuff.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: And so I would listen to those, and that would kind of be like my me time.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I would homeschool the kids, and then the afternoon I I would like school myself.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: That was kind of like and eventually Spencer was like, you know, you you should have podcasts, you have things to say.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I laughed at him because I was like, What?
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: I would run out of things to say.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: What do I have to say?
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: What's so important?
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I thought that was really sweet of him, but I just didn't I didn't catch the vision at all.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like that was just not that just seemed kind of silly and out there.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: But he had planted a seed and I didn't I didn't think it would ever bear fruit.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: But there was a there was a couple different reasons, strategic reasons, why I kind of kept coming back to that and going, well, maybe that's not such a bad idea, and maybe that's possible.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: And so I had um, I think we had talked about it, um and I we I've mentioned this a few times where at like for my birthday, which is the end of the year, we do kind of our dreaming and planning for the next year.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: And at the end of 2016, um, we talked about doing a podcast and how possible was that.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: And so I've um like not that long after I purchased like a$40 how to start a podcast course and took it and I didn't even like this.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, I didn't think nobody does.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: This is a big this is a big investment.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: Like the$40 investment was like a big deal to me that I was gonna spend the money and do that.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then so part of the process too was to think about do you want to co-host?
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: And for me, I'm like, I do not want the Amy Wick show.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: Like that's not that's not how I am.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm all about collaborating and it's all better together.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: And um so I just kind of thought through who, you know, who would who would that be really fun with?
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like w how can I create a dynamic?
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: And Ashley had become this uh friend for me so quickly that we just kind of laughed together.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: We could go really deep, like we it wasn't all surfacey, we went deep pretty fast.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: But then we also laughed a lot.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then when yeah, so especially when we hung out for like fun things.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I proposed the idea thinking she'd just be like, no way.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: And she said yes.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: So how did that conversation go though?
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: So you proposed the idea, but how do you say that?
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: Do you just say, Hey, so I have this idea?
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's kind of what I did.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: No, it was 5 a.m.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: on a walk.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: We were just in the cold.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: And I feel like she kind of said it, but she didn't ask me directly.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_02: But I feel like I kind of said I was just kind of half kidding, but half not.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, if you need a co-host, I'm your person.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: And then she was like, Whoa, well, I'm just plugged in this like southern accent from Alabama and like drops in Kansas.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: Just at the time that you need a co-host.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, I think that's really kind of how it was because I couldn't formulate that.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't have like a vision for it.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: It just was truly like it was step by step, it was naturally unfolding.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: And then because and I think too simultaneously, not only was I kind of talking about this crazy idea and she wasn't laughing at me.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: I think that was the thing, is she wasn't like laughing her we're in off going, that's like the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: And then I kind of threw out some things because I needed, um, like on our like Facebook page for church leadership, because I needed some advice about buying equipment.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: Because I thought, well, like, do I buy equipment?
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm just trying to discern what's the the m most, like what's the least that I can get away with buying if I'm gonna go ahead and do this thing.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I put it out there and instead this family at our church um is like, hey, we want to help you do this, and we have the equipment, we have a place to record it.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: So basically we could start almost for free.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like instead of the five hundred dollar investment of equipment, it's just ready made.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_00: And they're they're like serious.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_00: And so it took some I mean, it took some conversation and some working out and like part of partly for me because I hate to ask favors and I and I tend to like I'm learning how to be better about setting like clear deadlines, boundaries, expectations, all that sort of stuff.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: But um, but so that was part of it of just like okay, so like this can really happen.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I then I really formally asked Ashley, like, okay, but you know, I mean I kind of brought it up, threw it out there, you sort of volunteer yourself, but are you serious?
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: Would you do this with me?
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: So that's kind of how it that's how it began.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: That's great.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: So it just kind of happened.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_00: It really did.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: And then I think I think as I took each step along the way, that there was a just sweet revelation about what that was really gonna look like.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: What was the intent behind it, what was the vision, what was the mission.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: Even the idea of like I'm never going to run out of topics.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: Like there's there's an endless supply of stories that I want to share to encourage and inspire people.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: And once you start down like asking or saying you want to share someone's message, like that becomes a like a limitless supply of people who are excited.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, and then you know, it's just because like one person leads to another.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: Oh hey, well, I would love you to share this part, you know.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: So I I think that was kind of a neat process too.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: Well, with limited with limitless guests, so what uh over the year, y'all have been doing this for a year now.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_01: Which is why we're doing this.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: Because it's a big anniversary.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: So tell me over the last year, what have been some of your favorite moments?
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: Like whether it be five favorite guests or just favorite moments?
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: Something that you laughed, you cried, you what's what's been your favorite?
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_01: We'll start with this favorite guest.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: Who's been your favorite guest so far?
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_01: You wanna go first?
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't mean just like which one has been listened to the most.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: Like like what did you have just the most, whether it be fun or like yeah, that one's a hard one.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: It is.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: And you can name a few if you just don't want to be like such a range.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_02: There has been range.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_00: So it's hard to pick.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's interesting you uh you say that because uh Spencer and I were talking about I think it was yesterday.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe two days ago.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_00: But he was because we were talking about I don't know, a recent guest, and it was you know, so great and all of this, and he's like, you know what?
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: My favorite one still is I was like, What?
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: Because I really had no idea.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: And he's like, I think it's yours too.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, what hell in Debbie Perkins?
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, Yeah.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: So and it's it's funny because I've gotten some unique feedback.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's been downloaded a ton and it continues to be downloaded.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: We aired it uh summer last year.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I think so.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_00: Summer oh seven.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um I wanna say well, I think it was uh number 17, okay.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: Possibly.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking that's the right number.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: But um for me it was in the moment.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: I I wasn't sure, actually, I think part of the profound process of it is that I wasn't sure if we were gonna be able to continue.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: So in my mind, I'd sort of geared it as this potentially being one of the last interviews.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: Because I remember saying after we're done, if this is all I get to do, if this is the last one I've shared, I've done my job.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_00: And I felt like such a clear, like I that's like I fulfilled my mission and my calling and my purpose for this.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_00: And like if I really do not get you know, if I don't get to do anything else, if the Lord doesn't because we were gonna lose um kind of the equipment and the the the space and our editor at the time because he was going off to college and he wanted to still help from afar, but we realized like this was impossible.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um but I don't know, I just felt like when we when we recorded it, I felt like I got to sit across from people who truly have made like an impact that they will never fully realize here on earth and in heaven, yeah.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: There will be millions of people who can thank them for the ripple effect of impact on their life.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: For me that's still and there's so many.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I really there's so I cried through that entire episode.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_02: I mean that entire interview.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_02: I was just sitting over there like a hot mess, like trying not to snot all in the microphone because it was just so I mean, just the way they loved their kids and especially the way they loved them in their pain, yeah, was so profound.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: And I thought, oh my gosh, I feel like like I don't know.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_02: It was just I well, almost like I was being parented by God through them or something.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_02: It was just really yeah, yeah, it was good.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_02: So I would say that was definitely one of my favorites.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_02: And I still oh just because it's fresh, Jeremy Robinson.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_02: I love that one.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_02: I just love that whole that whole interview and I love that kid.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's so encouraging, yeah.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_02: That's so great.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited because we're gonna do like a little creative workshop with him, and I'm excited to do that together.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: That was great.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: So cool.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's so funny because my I so I went back and listened to all of them.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: It took me a bit to get through all of them.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: So I've come back and listened to one of them.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, cool.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: I listened to, you know, a a few of them along the way.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: But I've gone back and listed all of them now, and I would have to say my personal favorite is the one of just the two of you last year.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: Of the 21, what is it?
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: 21 help me.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: What was it?
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: 21 day challenge.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_01: 21 day challenge, yes.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_01: Just because I love and I don't think because you guys are so great at um just really pulling out the message of each um person that you're interviewing.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I think there's so much like the people don't realize, or maybe they do realize it, but that y'all are just a wealth.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you guys are the people that I would go to for all kinds of wisdom and exhortation and um.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: So uh what people may not know is that like right here is just a wealth.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Of um wisdom and Bible knowledge and encouragement.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: And so that was my favorite of just the two of you.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: But then again, anytime I love to just be with the two of you because you know, it's true.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: We're like real life friends.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, we actually enjoy hanging out totally in a van.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so what have you learned the most?
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: Down by the river.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_00: In a van.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_00: In our mobile studio.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, the mobile.

  SPEAKER_01: We got it's not live.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my goodness.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's what I mentioned.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_00: We love our editor, Ashley Pittman.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, our editor, producer.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_00: The producer doesn't work.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: I think you could be the producer, and I'm just probably technically in the producer, but I mean it's not like we're gonna do a can I be the co-producer?
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: Co-host, co-producer, editor, extrapreneur.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: Good enough.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like editor needs I need another level of title.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: Especially since someday we'll hire it out.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: Lord Willin.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: And then what will I be?
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_02: In the creek notes.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be host.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_00: And so many other things.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_00: And I won't have structure.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be there's gonna be so many other things.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_02: When you're freed up.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: Excuse me.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_02: When I'm freed up.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, from what?
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: Freed up from my bondages or freed up from editing?
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_02: Editing.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, whatever.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_01: Both are gonna be above.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, tall.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: So what are so what's the one thing you've learned?
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_01: I want to say first, obviously, you learned a lot from um Helen Debbie Perkins.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: But tell me, what is the thing you've learned most from each other in the last year?
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_02: Ooh, dude, that's hard.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_02: Hold on, I have to think on that one.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_02: That's why you're an editor.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_01: Because you can just cut out all the dead space whenever we can.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: That you have to think in.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_02: Well, okay, go ahead.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_06: I'm gonna Well, two, three.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's something I've just if it's like something I've learned.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_02: But one of the things I admire about Amy is just the solid the integrity that is absolutely there.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: That who she is is just who she is and the way she honors others really well.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_02: And um, you know, I was just listening to actually it was Brene Brown, and she talks about one of the core elements of trust is um I don't know what she'd call it.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_02: Not confidence, but uh the the she calls it something, but just being trustworthy.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_02: And it's not just that like it wouldn't just be that I can trust Amy not to tell my secrets all around to everybody.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_02: Because she could hold my secrets but then not hold yours, and I'm not gonna trust her.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_02: But I know that she'll hold mine, she's gonna hold yours, she's gonna hold everybody's, because even there's just times in conversation where I'll ask a question and I don't mean it to be a gossipy thing, or I'm not trying to pull out, but she's very careful to go, you know what, I don't think I I want can answer that question, or I don't feel okay to answer you know what I mean?
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like I just don't want to cross it.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_02: And I just have a lot of respect for you for that reason because it's there's just not a lot of people that are that way.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_02: But you just have a really solid integrity in everything you do, and you want to do it well, and you do it well, and I'm super impressed with the number of plates you can juggle.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_02: Plates?
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_02: Do you juggle plates?
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_01: No, you spin plates.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_01: Do you juggle oranges?
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: You juggle oranges.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_04: Can you see my spin plates?
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_02: All the plates you spin.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go with that.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_02: So, yeah, I just it's that and just the um I don't know, just the drive to get things done.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's good.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I've known Amy for um for a bit.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_01: Let's just go with that.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_00: Eight years, because I was pregnant with Miles.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_01: A little while.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we've been through it.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: So I can totally confirm everything that you said.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's true.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: She's always been that way.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: At least for eight years.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, who knows the words.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_00: Who knows what happened before?
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's it's true.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I one of the things that popped in my mind is I love um talking with Ashley and gaining a new perspective.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like she's actually so confident in in like thinking through like her perspective and articulating it.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I know she's like researched it and thoughtfully thought through it and has like and and at the same time come across like confident of her position without being dog so dogmatic that you don't feel like she's not teachable or open to discussion.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_00: And I think I I I I mean one of the I think one of the first big conversations we had one time I remember like walking around a park while our kids were playing.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: And there was a recent, um, like I'm gonna be kind of broad because you know, because it's just better to be broad.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um a recent Christian um celebrity who came out with a new stance that was kind of rocking the the world.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so, you know, I it I think it troubled both of us deeply.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_00: But at the same time, I just felt like this refreshing conversation with Ashley that who who was willing to look at it from both sides, was willing to research it well and kind of check out all the conversation and then go like to the word of God and fact-checked it, you know, instead of just regurgitating the talking points or what other people are saying.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: Like she was willing to discover it for herself, which I I think she, you know, she shares and like and that's an element like you talk about, Bethany, is that she has a wealth of biblical information and theological knowledge and you know, depth of wisdom, um, that not only life experience, but because she has you know, uh uh uh put herself to study.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and I'm talking about her like she's not in the room or something that's a group.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's dark in here, it is dark and uh yeah.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: So I I just I think that's been a been really awesome element, and then also someone who um I mean just from that element too is like really confident, and I know that maybe she has a different perspective of why she shares or doesn't share, but um, is willing to be quiet too.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like she doesn't force her way into the situation, which going back to the podcast, I would like her to say a little bit more and ask a little bit more.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: But I I actually appreciate the willingness to just like well, you know there's a lot there, but she's not necessarily worried about like you know, getting out there for the world to see.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_01: Right, she's gonna person that whenever you I'm not I'm gonna talk to you, I'm not gonna talk about you.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_04: Don't talk about me like I'm not here.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_04: Um man.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_04: You are really good.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_04: Shelby, really.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, sorry.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_04: Sorry.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_01: I digress.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_01: Um so what was I gonna say?
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: Ashley is great, but was um, oh yes.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, you that you're the kind of person that whenever you say something, like people listen because it's oh here she goes.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_02: That does say we laugh because that's not this that's new, that's a new thing.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_02: Because I've told you I'm the person that when I start talking, everybody looks away and they're like anyway.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_01: So that's not well it's funny because being a and and I totally confirm what you say, Amy, because being a Bible and theology student, I ain't no, you're Amy, she's Ashley.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_01: Ashley is the person that I go to for all kinds of bouncing, all this stuff.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_01: Like I'm learning all this stuff and having to just process and wrestle with hard, hard things, and I can take them to Ashley, and she just helps me wrestle, and it's just a wealth of wisdom and has biblical knowledge that so few people I think, especially in our culture, have.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_01: And so I'm so often impressed with, oh, how did you know?
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_01: Like the other day, I'm talking about this guy in the book of Judges that I'd never heard of in all my life, and she's like, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that guy that did this, and then the stuff that is and the and the and the and the stuff that he stole is in his tent.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, what?
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_01: How do you know that story?
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_01: Like, who reads judges?
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, everybody should read judges.
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone should read judges.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone should just say deep and knows and remembers.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, right, right.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, so I can so yeah, I confirm that absolutely.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's a good question.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_01: That's good, very good.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_01: That's good.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's good.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_01: All right, so we're gonna do you guys want to do something fun.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let's do that.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_01: Let's do something fun.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_01: So, what we're gonna do is we're gonna talk about who would be the most likely.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_01: So most likely.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna ask you a question, and you guys can pick who wants to answer first.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_01: Because I I'm sure I will have a an opinion on this as well.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_01: But I have a few questions here.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_01: So who would be most likely?
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna start with listen, I'm gonna start with something that's real serious, okay?
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so this is a really serious one.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_01: Is it really or are you being in sarcasm?
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_00: I can tell the sarcasm.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_00: Sarcasm.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_01: No, it's very serious.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so in the event of a zombie apocalypse, who would be most likely to die first?
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna have to know a lie too.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_03: Are you joking?
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_03: Like instantly have a plan of escape and a bit and I'm gonna start running.
• 31:18

• 31:23
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, here's why.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_02: Because in real life, if you sneak up behind me and scare me, I'm just gonna collapse to the floor.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're supposed to be hunting, but they really do that.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so anyway, I've always said no.

  SPEAKER_02: I don't care.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you're the editor, you can share whatever you want.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_02: I was 21, so this was like 22 tomorrow years ago.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_02: Not 22 tomorrow, because tomorrow's Ashley's birthday.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, it is tomorrow's birthday.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_00: So we're actually celebrating by doing this right now.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_02: We are.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so it was just a dumb thing.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_02: I um it was for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_02: I was 21 and I had a friend with me who was 19, and I just foolishly, right in front of uh a police officer, the people who monitor the alcohol and tobacco and whatever in Alabama, right in front of his very face.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_02: I said, Here, you want to just finish the rest of this beer?
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_02: And she was like, Okay.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_02: And so then he just walked right over.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_02: It's really a funny story, so I'm gonna tell it because of the way it all unfolded was funny.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_02: And so he said, he took our nays, basically he wrote us a ticket, and he said, Now you have to go turn yourselves in.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_02: Because I don't think we weren't the big fish he was looking for.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_02: He was waiting on a bigger fish than us to come out of some bar or something, and so he found us just by accident.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and so anyway, I thought this was kind of just rude.
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_02: Anyway, so he says, Go turn yourselves in.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_02: So the next day or two, we go to the police station, Montgomery Police Department.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_02: We turn ourselves in, and they say, We don't have anything on record for this.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_02: And we were like, Yes, we are off the hook.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_02: This is awesome.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_02: So we go home, go about our lives.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_02: About a month later, I get a phone call from my dad.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_02: And my dad says, let's me know that it's six o'clock because I don't live with my parents anymore.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_02: I've moved out.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and he says, six o'clock this morning, a state trooper showed up at our door with a warrant for your arrest.
• 39:51
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_02: She was awesome.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_02: No, but can you even imagine?
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_02: I just try to picture the fear because if you see an a police officer at your door at some odd hour, you're not thinking you're thinking something terrible since someone has died.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_02: So my poor parents, my mom, bless her heart.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_02: Anyway, no telling.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_02: And they so what happened was so my dad was in law enforcement.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_02: He worked for the Department of Forensic Sciences.
• 40:14
  SPEAKER_02: So he took me down to the state trooper's office.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_02: They made me ride in the back of the car.
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_02: We drove down to the city jail where I got booked and I got a mugshot and I got fingerprinted and the whole chipang.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my goodness.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_02: And it ended up being like my record was expunged.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's the proper word.
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_02: So it's not on my record.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_02: I was supposed to have a court date, and then I got out of it at the very last minute, so I didn't actually have to go to court, but it was scary.
• 40:35
  SPEAKER_00: That's funny.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_02: And I wish I had the mugshot to this day because I think I would hang it on the wall and just say, Kids.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_02: This is where you're gonna end up if you don't like this is exactly right.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_02: Stern or burn children, this is where you're going.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_02: So, anyways, it was it was uh quite a story.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_02: So I don't know if we want to maybe like edit that out later.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_02: But there it is.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_02: I done told it now.
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_02: It was what, but that's done told it.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_02: I done told it.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_02: That's where I was in life, and look what Jesus has done.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_02: I haven't been arrested since.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_00: Now from here I know, I was like, from here on out, who's the most likely?
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_00: Now who's the most likely?
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_00: But from here on out, yeah, I don't know.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_00: It might still be me, I'm not sure.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_00: I can't think of anything.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm not on I'm not in danger of being arrested.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, like the most trouble I ever got was well, I I mean, mostly it was foreign countries, you know.

  SPEAKER_02: That's when your record is wiped clean, as if it never happened.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_02: Oh beautiful.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_02: You pay a little fee.
• 42:01

  SPEAKER_00: Like I I think that's why I have the more the most respect for anyone who does go after public office because I think I actually have a family member, a close family member who has um still some ambition and drive that direction, and I applaud them because I think that's pretty great.
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_02: I can't even keep up with my PTO responsibilities, so I don't think I will be running for president.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_00: I have lots of ideas.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be an idea submitter, but that's about it.
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's all I got.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, who has the weirdest phobia?
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_01: This means you're gonna have to share it.
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, the weirdest phobia.
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_01: Weirdest phobia.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_02: I don't even know if it's classic.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_02: I don't arachnophobia.
• 43:19
  SPEAKER_02: I would call them phobias, but I have some like sensory issues.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_02: Like Do you?
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's not a phobia, but like there's certain textures that make me gag.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_02: There are sounds, like if it sounds like the texture, it makes me gag.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_02: Like my kids So it doesn't have to be in your mouth and make it.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, like if I feel like it's like my fingertips.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's more of like a texture, sounds.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um yes, they make me gag, but that's not really a phobia.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_02: That's just a weird thing.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_00: I think that like counts.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm kind of afraid when people like make noise when they eat.
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_01: Not necessarily.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_02: I don't like I don't like sounds.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_02: Oh man, I was listening to a podcast yesterday and it was like the unedited version, so you hear heard all the in-between stuff which was kind of encouraging because they were like dropping calls and stuff and I was like, Oh, that happens to everyone.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_02: But I could hear her drinking her water and I was about to come out of my skin.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_00: How did you hear an unedited version of someone else?
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_02: Because there's there's a podcast who who puts up an edited and an unedited version.
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_00: No kidding.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_02: Just a just for fun.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_02: They just I don't know.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know why.
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_02: Because I the like the not edited part wasn't it was just like the call dropped and they're talking back and forth and she's sipping water.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_02: Kind of like what happens with us, right?
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_00: It was very similar or eating plantains.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_01: So does that happen a lot?
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_01: Because I because obviously when you hear it you don't hear it.
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_00: When you're listening to the podcast yeah able to thankfully we have figured out um zoom has been really really awesome and we've done everything else but Zoom has been the most consistent to not drop things.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_00: But like I when um Sarah and I were recording we were in a hotel and it was late at night and she just come um had just finished doing like a TV interview thing and I had brought plantains to snag on and she was hungry and she was eating those plantains and Ashley texts me as she's editing that podcast and she's like I am about to go crazy with these plantains you know and so you just hear that yeah I mean it's like super loud it was really really loud it was like I'm sorry definitely edit that out any sort of anger and anxiety.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah yeah loud noises oh yeah loud sounds if there's a sudden loud sound I just get angry it just make even if I'm the one that did the loud sound it just I don't do that.
• 45:35
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 45:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah like if I drop a pot or a pan it just I startles a loud yeah startling syndrome apparently I still I must still have my startle reflex I actually think there is like a startle syndrome or something like that.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_00: I just I'm very jumpy.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_00: Phobias though what about you phobias I don't do you have a phobia um I mean probably I mean really honestly spiders that's I I I don't I'm not afraid of heights I'm kind of a venture seeker risk taker um I mean I I mean as far as like getting afraid of things and have anxiety beforehand I actually do with the speaking even though I love speaking and I I'm growing in that um and even with like pre-podcast like there is some sort of but I don't know that would classify as phobia so vomit I have a vomit phobia.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's the job I would I would write there with you.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_00: No vomiting ever since I was I pray and fast about like not vomiting.
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_02: Truly I can't deal I can't deal with it.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know it's just like I have always had this fear that I was gonna vomit and then I can kind of sort of a little bit handle my kids vomit but if it's like an adult person with I the I'm done you're out I have cleaned up so much vomit in my life that's not my own including yes uh family members and everything I I don't know sick people sickness in general yes stay away yeah yeah so maybe for up yes awesome so Bethany you haven't been sick recently have you no how about your kids who are sitting in the van right along okay we're almost done here so this last question and this one I know the answer to but who would be the best one to call if you committed a crime and needed someone to help you cover it up I mean this is the best question for me Oh my gosh this is hilarious.
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_02: This is gonna cover it up because this is a really small person or because it's percentally devious let's cut off the bat let's cut off the last part so who's the best person to call if you've committed a crime depends on what you want from that person.
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know Bethany I think you're gonna have to answer this first I want to hear what you're I would call both of you yeah I would guess I would call both of you okay so Ashley and my world would just laugh the whole time because I would have showed the latter I don't know if we would laugh do you laugh when you commit a crime I guess it depends on the Ashley because she laughs at inappropriate and nervous laughter I laugh shot I can't imagine Ashley I would get anything done just the T You probably wouldn't the getting rid of the body would not happen unless I was like TP somebody's house but you need to get there.
• 48:14
  SPEAKER_01: So um I was thinking meaning to do something if something needs to get accomplished I'd call anything if I needed if I needed to laugh or if I needed to find out the the theological ramifications of it I'd call actually done anything but if I just wanted to like screw around the whole story theological ramifications.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_03: How bad is this?
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_01: How many hillaries do I have to say what do I have to do to get out of the kidding this internal so spiritually and physically well your cover the two of us yeah all right so we'll just go we'll do a couple more things before we finish up what do you think because you guys interview mostly would you say mostly authors a large percentage I would say we're probably at it like an 80 20 or 70 30 so what would you recommend like what is the one book you'd recommend to everybody because I'm a book lover I'm a bookworm so I'm not like you Amy but yes our Bible Jesus Jesus yes read the option besides the Bible.
• 49:34
  SPEAKER_00: Besides the Bible thank you clarify you give me two shoes you I was just trying to give an answer because I don't have one otherwise yes I do it takes a lot of thought.
• 49:44
  SPEAKER_00: Actually I do and I am s probably so biased.
• 49:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah but I have just because it's unseen Sarah Hagerty's book I I mean that's just been a huge and yes I got to write the book study.
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_00: That was awesome and so I can write the book study oh wait it's free it's free um I would so I immersed myself in it and then I got to teach it several times uh but I just feel like it's across the board male female leadership non-leadership if you are a Christian read the book and you it it will take you I feel like to a next the next level of friendship with God which like that's what my call and my passion is like the next step of friendship with God of relationship of you know what um what does a what does it look like to really walk out this Christian life here in America in particular probably um so yeah anyway I mean I think it's something that I could go back to again and again so that's probably one I mean there were many and I I mean I read them all but I'm I can honestly say that I've gone through and I have another stack of like 10 books.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_00: I just got two more over the weekend from another publicist and maybe the speed reader that's impressive takes me forever.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_00: Well I mean I can't tell you how fast I'm gonna get through those ten books but anyway but it's great I mean I do love it like I've I feel incredibly privileged because I I I think that if I were ever to do a another dream job it would be paid to eat that food like all over like a travel eating person.
• 51:20
  SPEAKER_00: But right before that would have been to like get to read books for free.
• 51:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah you shared that before because this was one of big qu this was a big question for us at our 5 a.m group the what is your dream job?
• 51:31
  SPEAKER_01: So does any do people know that that was your dream job?
• 51:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um I don't know I don't I don't think so.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_00: I remember sharing maybe the food thing.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah well one morning at the 5 a.m when you shared when you when you told us all you asked us all to share what our dream job would be.
• 51:45
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 51:45
  SPEAKER_01: And it was supposed to be kind of light and so Amy comes with this you come with this light answer.
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_01: Really else is like these big dramatic answers and it's like our plan and eat food.
• 51:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah I mean hello I mean like that could be more fun and get paid to do it.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yep listen awesome I don't even know what was the question oh yeah book well like we went back to that okay so like I love reigning books.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_02: So uh come on Ashley favorite book are you talking about does it have to be from our podcast or just any book.
• 52:17
  SPEAKER_02: Most highly recommended anything by Dallas Willard he is one of my favorite favorite favorites and I have several The Divine Conspiracy I have an audiobook and you know like paper book but I've listened to it lots of times.
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_02: I have it on Audible and I so I'd recommend anything the man has written.
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_02: What makes that one in particular so good that you've The Divine Conspiracy that you've that's a hard question.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's just his perspective I mean it's such a I mean his perspective is just life changing on so many different things.
• 52:45
  SPEAKER_02: It's just a lot of different things.
• 52:46
  SPEAKER_02: The way you read scripture the way you understand the heart of God and when you listen to him I've listened to him he does not read the books but I've listened to him um give some talks at different places and just he's so tenderhearted.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_02: He sounds like a man who knows God and who walks with God and his voice will just crack when he talks about when he talks about God and he talks about um the way God loves us and stuff and so I just so he just got us emotionally connected in that way yes but he's a very it's a deep read because he's he's very he's a f he's a he's a very he's a philosopher.
• 53:21
  SPEAKER_02: He was a philosophy professor at USC I think it was um but you know a Christian he was over there in the philosophy department if I'm not mistaken but he's a he's a believer in um just a deep thinker and so some of it you know requires some thought and like go back and read that again or whatever but it's just good stuff.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah I don't even know how to so anything yes I don't think I need that it's good to know this is what a lot of our boxes are it's just Ashley like a girl can preach and she just listened to hours of voxes that she just yeah just preaches to me.
• 53:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's good it's good help you get those record then from one preacher woman to another maybe this is like a new podcast that we do.
• 54:07
  SPEAKER_00: What's that?
• 54:08
  SPEAKER_00: An offshoot I don't know theological discussions by Ashley Pittman I love it.
• 54:12
  SPEAKER_01: Is that anything like Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy anyway something all right so let's wrap this up what um okay this is gonna be a fun question kind of kind of so but I want your honest answer if you were a fangirl like if you could have one person on the podcast and I don't just mean like I'm just talking anybody anybody one person on the podcast I mean there's obvious answers but like the one person you'd really love to have that you can interview on the planet who would it be like has to be alive now obviously yeah a live person on the planet a live person on the planet right now.
• 54:57
  SPEAKER_00: I mean you'll know who I would pick I have like a top three that is really hard I have a top three can I share three because they're different races.
• 55:07
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever it's your podcast okay so I would have uh Joyce Meyer I I don't know how many like young folks know her but she like I tuned into her when I had entered motherhood and I was really lost uh spiritually.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_00: Like honestly I was just trying to find my footing of what that looked like and so her so we had cable at the time or you know something where we could get extra channels that you paid for.
• 55:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um and so I would like record her shows and then I started listening to her um like I started reading her books and listening to her audiobooks and all that sort of stuff.
• 55:45
  SPEAKER_00: And she I was just like this like she's telling me like I just felt like I I wonder if she's the same Anneagram number or if she isn't like an eight and like there was just something how she presented what she said.
• 55:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah where like I was like yes you know like you I just it it preached to me and I I heard it and it felt you know like I yeah it um so there was a lot of good fruit there and then Beth Moore oh man because I just so Joyce Meyer because I'd love to thank her Beth Moore because she just loves the word of God and presents in such a way I've taken so many of her studies where I mean just laid such a great foundation and I I'd love to be like her be able to present the word of God some she's she's taught so many of us women and really I think in our generation especially both of those women have been a forerunner to do even what we do now.
• 56:37
  SPEAKER_00: Right, right like that we have the ability and I that I can even dream the way I dream because of women.
• 56:43
  SPEAKER_00: Those two women in particular because they've been forer K Arthur is probably up there with them of forerunners.
• 56:49
  SPEAKER_00: And then for me just for fun because I think we could be really good friends is Annie F.
• 56:56
  SPEAKER_00: Downs.
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_00: And I know we've talked about this before but I just think it'd be really fun to get to meet her so Annie F.
• 57:02
  SPEAKER_00: Downs if you're listening we would love to have you on the Civil Hearted podcast.
• 57:08
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 57:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I just think it'd be fun and I always love to tell people about her because she's yeah like I think she's just fun everyone should listen to her and she's a great listen.
• 57:19
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway she brings truth I bet she's a wing eight I've never heard her talk about it but I bet her wing is eight.
• 57:26
  SPEAKER_01: She I think has said a six because of her struggles with the anxiety and things like that.
• 57:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah yep but she's I mean but she's she I mean if that's the case she is an amazing overcomer because she has pushed you know she's an author of like eight books she has her own podcast she runs her own business I mean she's like that's truly taking on supernatural abilities that are beside her.
• 57:52
  SPEAKER_00: So I you know that's an element where I admire too.
• 57:54
  SPEAKER_01: Well she's but I mean besides you because I never listen to podcasts until simply wholehearted and I really don't have an option.
• 58:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um but she was she she had pulled me in like she was one of the first I think she might have been the first podcast I ever listened to aside from yours.
• 58:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 58:11
  SPEAKER_01: So I just didn't she's one of my why do I want to listen to people talk I mean I can't talk they can't talk I mean they can't hear me I want to talk back to them why would I just listen to them talk that sounds so that's so funny.
• 58:22
  SPEAKER_01: I just the eight in me because I want to talk to people like I want to tell people.
• 58:26
  SPEAKER_01: I want to tell people the truth.
• 58:26
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to hear them talk I want to tell them the truth.
• 58:28
  SPEAKER_01: That's so funny.
• 58:29
  SPEAKER_01: That's interesting.
• 58:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah okay so who's your if you fangirled who would it okay first it would be Bethmore of course but for me I want to talk to her about two things.
• 58:37
  SPEAKER_02: Number one I want to talk to her about marriage.
• 58:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah and I want to talk to her about marriage because she always references how her and Keith went through this they've just gone through a lot to get to where they are.
• 58:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um and I don't I think maybe even sometimes not been on the same page spiritually if it from what she says but I'm not sure.
• 58:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um so I want to talk to her about that and I want to talk to her about the way she has she is trans like just watching it's not that she's transforming but she's becoming really vocal about issues.
• 59:11
  SPEAKER_02: Like she's not staying quiet.
• 59:12
  SPEAKER_02: She's not the quiet Southern Baptist girl she is engaging with culture and and the in the hard topics and racism and the Me Too movement and all those things.
• 59:23
  SPEAKER_02: And so I want to talk to her about those two things because I've seen kind of a transition I feel like a little bit and even I don't know I just that's what I want to talk to her about.
• 59:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 59:32
  SPEAKER_00: And how that works and how that's held herself really well in where there's like no there's no drama in it and there's nothing about like gaining momentum or building platform.
• 59:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's just simply and it's even like let me love you through this while I'm speaking what I believe the word of God and what truth says it's always like so gracious but very strong though.
• 59:54
  SPEAKER_02: And it's not wavering it's not like eh maybe this is what I think.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's just nope this is this is what it is.
• 1:00:00
  SPEAKER_02: But it's always like but it but she's just so gracious.
• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_00: And going back to the marriage scene that actually when so when I first heard of Annie F.
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_00: Downs and all this sort of stuff I was at a a Christy Wright business boutique thing and I was there with an idea for something completely different.
• 1:00:15
  SPEAKER_00: But one of the things that I sat there doing which is probably really where the podcast idea birthed from because I sat there going I want to talk to these amazing women about their marriages.
• 1:00:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:00:26
  SPEAKER_00: Like I want to hear how how they as because it it I I felt like their with their personalities and what they were doing reflected more of like the style of marriage I have if that's the right term or like the the dynamic relational dynamic.
• 1:00:42
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like oh I think that would make like a great book or a great whatever.
• 1:00:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um so anyway but all of that to say like that she's one of those along with Joyce Meyer and all of that where I was like okay like tell us how you did that because Yeah when you have a really vocal woman a woman is really out there and powerful in that way and then the man that's more behind the scenes I don't know that Joyce and Dave are the same kind of same scenario button.
• 1:01:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah and who are are doing like like they're still fulfilling their calling and their pip purpose and their arena.
• 1:01:11
  SPEAKER_02: It just looks different a lot in many cases.
• 1:01:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah especially with ministry because there's just a traditional role and again you know they were forerunners and allow us to do what we do.
• 1:01:22
  SPEAKER_02: Which we love so I would want more.
• 1:01:25
  SPEAKER_02: I would want to talk to Brene Brown because I love all of her stuff and all of her work.
• 1:01:28
  SPEAKER_02: And so I would just want to pick her brain more and just hear you know I have not dove into her stuff.
• 1:01:34
  SPEAKER_00: I know I'll like it it's just not an air arena that I thought I love the shame research.
• 1:01:40
  SPEAKER_02: So you know that's my you know it's my thing.
• 1:01:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah whatever.
• 1:01:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah I think that'd be really cool.
• 1:01:46
  SPEAKER_02: It's good and so I've heard about her I have.
• 1:01:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah I think I've read all of them.
• 1:01:49
  SPEAKER_02: I have maybe her first one I may not have read.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_02: And I listened to her whenever I can find her on a podcast I'll listen even though a lot of it's the same stuff like she said before but not always a lot of this but it's really good and so I like her.
• 1:01:59
  SPEAKER_02: And then she's been on Oprah maybe she'd be you know on the simply wholehearted right on yeah she's kind of busy the sky's the limit but I don't know um that you know what I said I don't think anybody's aiming too high but it might be hard to get Brene Brown so then the third one is Betty White I think we would have to probably bleep her so much.
• 1:02:26
  SPEAKER_02: That would be white she's like that would be awesome hilarious that's she makes me laugh the three B's I know it's practically like I'm a preacher I just did that alliter that's not alliteration is it's something anyway I love it B the three B's Betty White Ali Worthington did the five B so you just did the three B Jesus she's just gonna stay with three I don't think Betty White loves Jesus or anything but she is such a hoot she is a hoot she's just hilarious and she just keeps going I know like that's yeah tenacity for life and I don't know what I mean she three girls that was I love the golden girls.
• 1:03:09
  SPEAKER_01: It's funny whenever you said that you were gonna go when you were talking about Beth Moore I really thought you were gonna bring up Donk because you were like Dawn I'm gonna talk about this is what I want to talk to her about and that's what I said I know where you're going with this you're gonna talk about this I just wonder what you thought of the Beth Moore has this donkey and on Instagram anybody who followed it's her neighbors it's some neighbor donkey donkey she just on the one there's this donkey she calls him donk I don't know if that's his official name so we can ask her if she can the Simply Wholehearted podcast we need to talk about be sure and ask her about Don if she comes on.
• 1:03:44
  SPEAKER_01: We got it that's so good.
• 1:03:45
  SPEAKER_01: That's funny.
• 1:03:46
  SPEAKER_01: Well I love this I've had so much fun and I mean we always have fun together but but it was now we got it recorded and now everyone can know.
• 1:03:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yes and everybody can know how awesome you guys are.
• 1:03:57
  SPEAKER_01: You guys are my favorites and just you guys alone have such a wealth of wisdom and knowledge and um just a real message to that the Lord has given you to share with the world and I'm so glad that um you're sharing it.
• 1:04:13
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 1:04:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah I'm so grateful for the opportunity and I every message we get every little bit of feedback of people I mean I think of like our mutual friend Nakasha Natasha Gowden and um how I think at the very kind of the very beginning she was just one of those who I mean we're good friends.
• 1:04:32
  SPEAKER_00: I don't expect my friends to listen.
• 1:04:34
  SPEAKER_00: Like I actually am shocked when my friends listen to the podcast.
• 1:04:37
  SPEAKER_00: That sounds silly but I I don't think of them like you know when I do this because I just you know I we can all be guilty of that like those we're closest to you know we don't read their social media posts and stuff like that.
• 1:04:49
  SPEAKER_02: Jesus was not even accepted in his hometown so why would people it's just because we're so much like Jesus exactly what it is so close.
• 1:05:01
  SPEAKER_00: Just like Jesus and that's what well seriously seriously I don't know okay so where was I going yeah I know oh yeah yeah yeah well just like so I just feel grateful because um when people do reach out and and now I mean and now it's way more frequent and sometimes it's people that I don't know at all or not very well and so just grateful to when hear you know like people saying this particular story ministered so much to me how do I get that book or tell me more about it or um just different things like that and because I feel like I can go to that person and be like guess what you know this person was so impacted and I get to like be part of sharing that praise because they know I thought I think the message was grateful for the most part but then I get to just emphasize it and remind them like the Lord is working and there's just this ripple effect with their obedience of sharing their message that is happening that they won't ever know like it's the third and fourth down and you know kind of a away from them.
• 1:06:03
  SPEAKER_00: So anyway, I don't know.
• 1:06:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just I'm amazed at what the Lord has done.
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_00: I'm amazed who the Lord is bringing um to you know allow us to get to share their message and partner with and just all the opportunities ahead it's it's pretty exciting.
• 1:06:19
  SPEAKER_01: It's exciting.
• 1:06:20
  SPEAKER_01: It is super exciting.
• 1:06:21
  SPEAKER_01: It's been really fun.
• 1:06:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah it's a good time.
• 1:06:24
  SPEAKER_01: So for the next year because this has been one year.
• 1:06:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:06:27
  SPEAKER_01: So for the next year just more of the same.
• 1:06:29
  SPEAKER_01: What do you think for the next year?
• 1:06:31
  SPEAKER_01: Oh that's good.
• 1:06:33
  SPEAKER_00: Well I mean I I wanted to make sure I mentioned this because I've I've like said little things here and there but I I feel like I mean I don't I could have imagined a year ago where we'd be at.
• 1:06:46
  SPEAKER_00: So part of what the Lord has done is brought a team together called the collective and you all are part of the collective or you know there's right now there's seven of us.
• 1:06:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um probably soon to be eight, nine, something like that.
• 1:06:58
  SPEAKER_00: But I I I think I have no like I don't think I can even imagine um what's gonna happen the next year because of that the power of the collective together.
• 1:07:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because it's gonna be a bunch of the gifts and talents and um the connections and just different vision and ideas that will come together that will just be completely unlike even how I think now.
• 1:07:23
  SPEAKER_00: And so that that just makes me excited.
• 1:07:25
  SPEAKER_00: So I didn't I mean my my goal is to just do more and do better.
• 1:07:30
  SPEAKER_00: And um yeah I mean I want to offer so many other different things.
• 1:07:36
  SPEAKER_00: We're talking about life coaching um specifically Anneogram coaching.
• 1:07:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I think that's in the near future and that's gonna be an element of what we do.
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_00: We're still gonna offer um the courses that we offered last year which was um for moms out there to help them have a better summer with their kids at home without going crazy.
• 1:07:59
  SPEAKER_00: So we're still gonna do that.
• 1:08:02
  SPEAKER_00: But maybe some books are in the future.
• 1:08:06
  SPEAKER_00: So that could be really fun like some of our from our own group here with our names on it.
• 1:08:12
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know that's kind of mine.
• 1:08:14
  SPEAKER_00: I mean we have like a lot of amazing authors that keep coming around I mean and we're gonna ask too like there's just it's kind of like those top three that we mentioned.
• 1:08:21
  SPEAKER_00: I think we're all going hey let's go ahead and ask people and why not?
• 1:08:25
  SPEAKER_00: What do we got to lose?
• 1:08:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I think that could turn out to be say no.
• 1:08:28
  SPEAKER_01: And then and then no one does no different than what it already is and then maybe you ask again and they'll say yes.
• 1:08:35
  SPEAKER_00: You just don't know maybe you don't email them every week and just keep email just kidding Yeah yeah I don't know what do you think Ashley I'd love to hear what you think of next year.
• 1:08:43
  SPEAKER_00: What is simply wholehearted in the next year.
• 1:08:46
  SPEAKER_00: Oh man I don't know.
• 1:08:48
  SPEAKER_02: This is that's a hard question for me because I'm just not a visionary really.
• 1:08:53
  SPEAKER_02: Like I don't look that far ahead I just kind of am happy to be here.
• 1:08:57
  SPEAKER_02: So that's kind of the way I am and I it's kind of one of the things that I've said about Amy is that she like I take risks all of a sudden but I don't know I'm doing it.
• 1:09:09
  SPEAKER_02: Like doing a podcast is not I mean it sounds fun and I love podcasts and so I'm like oh it totally sounds fun and then I don't think about it till later I'm like wait we're doing a podcast.
• 1:09:17
  SPEAKER_02: Like is anybody gonna listen?
• 1:09:19
  SPEAKER_02: Is this like what are we doing?
• 1:09:21
  SPEAKER_02: And so I just will I'm just kind of happy to be here as part of the community.
• 1:09:26
  SPEAKER_02: And so I should probably do more praying about what it looks like in the future.
• 1:09:31
  SPEAKER_02: But I honestly am just happy to be here in whatever is today 'cause I feel like God has put me down right here.
• 1:09:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um because again like you said my life a year ago looked completely different.
• 1:09:40
  SPEAKER_02: Like a year and a half ago I didn't even have friends.
• 1:09:43
  SPEAKER_02: I mean it was like I mean I had like one one friend and then I had Amy and then you know it's just they've multiplied and now I'm part of this collective of friends.
• 1:09:51
  SPEAKER_02: I mean I had friends they just didn't live here.
• 1:09:53
  SPEAKER_02: I shouldn't say that.
• 1:09:53
  SPEAKER_02: So if my friends are listening they're still my friends you just don't live here.
• 1:09:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:09:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um and geography is important.
• 1:09:59
  SPEAKER_02: Like having people locally having to be locally to have somebody that you can look at in the eye you know on a regular basis.
• 1:10:05
  SPEAKER_02: And um it's just different.
• 1:10:08
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah I just am happy to be here and I'll just listen to Amy one of the things you asked earlier one of the things I've learned well and and just listen to the way she's describing this is that she's such an includer and so my part of my growth process is going, oh, it's okay to bring more people in because I'm kind of like we're friends, what do we need more people for?
• 1:10:27
  SPEAKER_02: Like I'm gonna get bumped out of this thing if you keep bringing people in, you know it's kind of like my core fear is like I won't have a place anymore.
• 1:10:35
  SPEAKER_02: But that's not true.
• 1:10:35
  SPEAKER_02: Because one of the things I'm learning is that there's just room for all of us and so the value of bringing more people in and encouraging each other is um a strength.
• 1:10:44
  SPEAKER_02: You know it's just a tighter bond.
• 1:10:46
  SPEAKER_00: There's more it's not it's stronger not less like if you had a rope with more what'd you call it it's the economy of God is that like it's an expansion like because you include it doesn't take away.
• 1:10:59
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:10:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like and I think that's the that's just the beauty of like his kingdom and how he works and because in the natural it seems like the more you give the less you'll have right but it's like having your kids.
• 1:11:11
  SPEAKER_02: You don't have less love because you had more kids.
• 1:11:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah totally for all of us.
• 1:11:16
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm just you know I'm just happy to be here and so I'm just looking forward to more podcasts and more of this.
• 1:11:21
  SPEAKER_02: I know we've talked about doing more of this kind of thing.
• 1:11:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah and so I think that'll be really fun as well and yeah and I think that's um probably an element too is that I I really want um to build the community of the the listeners and really engage and I want to hear like I I'm not just saying that I want the feedback and want the like hey what do you guys want to know?
• 1:11:41
  SPEAKER_00: What do you want us to talk about?
• 1:11:43
  SPEAKER_00: Who do you want us to interview?
• 1:11:44
  SPEAKER_00: What are the topics that you want us to cover and and all that sort of stuff and and really dive into some of those things and spend some time whether it's like once a month or once every six weeks or something like that.
• 1:11:54
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's going to be a lot of fun.
• 1:11:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah we can put it out on the socials and see what people what we want on the socials because you're now our social media specialist something like that.
• 1:12:04
  SPEAKER_01: I mean just a social media addict that happens to be the local addict I'm an addict as well I'm the collective addict I'm addicted it's good anybody else worse things worse things yes it for use it for his glory absolutely that's true we're gonna use yes well thanks Bethany for this idea I think it was a fantastic idea thank you.
• 1:12:29
  SPEAKER_01: Well I just want I so badly want people to know you guys because you guys are my favorites two of my favorites I'm gonna say the favorites because in case anybody's out there listening you might be my favorites too.
• 1:12:41

• 1:12:54
  SPEAKER_01: So I think you guys are great and I am so thankful that you let me do this and bring the mobile studio along.
• 1:13:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yes and in a year from now I see us here again a year from now in Ashley's driveway.

  SPEAKER_00: I think I think the sound is gonna be like the best it's gonna be phenomenal.
• 1:13:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be good.
• 1:13:13
  SPEAKER_01: Are we gonna tell are we gonna tell everybody what we're doing right now what we're sitting on we should I mean we didn't start up that way.
• 1:13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you could do that in the intro also of our mobile that could be our social media the square media square darkened room do you think we could take this um around like do a tour around the country the simply wholehearted podcast tour in this van and then like park ourselves in front of that would be awesome.
• 1:13:39
  SPEAKER_01: We need to get stickers or we could get a whole rap the simply wholehearted rap van like we're gonna write a rap song?
• 1:13:46
  SPEAKER_01: No rap.
• 1:13:49
  SPEAKER_01: I can write rap music if we need to this is hey we knew we were gonna learn some things tonight.
• 1:13:54
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just kidding.
• 1:13:54
  SPEAKER_00: I can't I think actually if anyone's gonna wrap a write a rap song or a rap I think Ashley is the one to do it.
• 1:14:01
  SPEAKER_02: This is true I bet I bet she could do vanilla ice right now oh that I could do all right stop elaborate and listen ice back when we're gonna do a bit I'm sure laughing at myself as I listen to this conversation again.
