In this episode, SeaJay, Erika, and Deborah introduce us to the wonderful Kathryn Scott, who is a lead pastor, worship leader, and true gem of a human. She’s warm and wise and carries a deep history with the Lord that naturally raises the spiritual maturity in the room. Kathryn shares a powerful message on disappointment, something we all face in different ways. She reminds us that while it’s okay to feel disappointment, it’s not okay to become it.

SeaJay, Erika, and Deborah get real about the joys (and surprises) of aging because yes, our bodies are changing, and no, we aren’t ready. Having a twin going through it too is helpful, but don’t worry if you don’t have one; ChatGPT is basically the next best thing (or not). Stick around for a powerful message from Becky Johnson on the kind of boldness that only comes through prayer. She challenges us to let go of distraction, resentment, and comparison—and return to a life rooted in prayer and power. Follow along on social media for new episodes, updates, or to connect with us.

This episode is full of wisdom and vulnerability about leaving a legacy of hard work and integrity, even in the messy middle.

We’ve all done it. We jump to conclusions without the full picture, fill in the blanks with assumptions and walk away feeling hurt, offended, or misunderstood. But what if there’s a better way? In this episode, SeaJay, Erika, and Deborah talk about breaking free from offense, choosing curiosity over criticism, and learning to assume the best in others. Let’s explore how to live with grace and not guesswork because the stories we tell ourselves aren’t always rooted in truth.
