What does it mean to find true freedom and balance in a world that constantly demands productivity? Join me, Megan Ashley and my best friend, Jackie Hill Perry, as we reflect on a whirlwind year that felt like a decade. Through laughter and exhaustion, we dive into the symbolic moments that defined our journey— Our conversation spans the highs and lows of the year, exploring the grace that sustains us through faith and the Holy Spirit. As 2024 winds down, we share how we’re preparing to move forward with renewed purpose. 

In a culture obsessed with achievements, we unpack the tension between constant busyness and the necessity of rest. Together, we discuss the importance of prioritizing mental and spiritual health, finding fulfillment in our souls, and cherishing family ties over material accomplishments. Grateful for friendships that uplift and sustain us, we also consider stepping back from the chaos of social media to protect our well-being. 

We recount our journey of friendship from initial skepticism to a deep, genuine bond, reflecting on the spiritual warfare we’ve faced and the foundation that has helped us overcome adversity. This conversation is a reminder of the power of silence, love, and resilience in the face of trials—drawing parallels to Christ’s sinless suffering and the growth that follows hardship. 

Tune in as we share candid thoughts on faith, friendship, and the transformative lessons this year has taught us.
