Episodes
#235 First Watch and Fall Break
This week, we're sharing our fall break adventures and tackling three of your biggest NYC questions: Where should you stay? What should you eat? And how do you get around? We're also serving up our First Watch review with Mrs. Chris and that million-dollar bacon before rambling into My Dear Hemlock, Wordle, and our October memory verse, Colossians 3:12. What does it look like to clothe ourselves w
#234 Apparently, that's a compliment
"The pantsuit is tea"… and apparently, that's a compliment! Angela's return to her alma mater comes with a vocabulary lesson, and we're still explaining what it means to "Pull an Angela." Add Taco Bell, Fran's NYC week, and Atlanta Braves baseball, and we've got plenty to ramble about. The conversation takes a deeper turn with an Instagram account sharing FAKE Bible verses and why we need to check
#233 Well, That Took A Turn...
Okay, but HOW did we get from Noah's Ark to a heart check?! 😂 This week we're rambling through the headlines and stories we can't stop talking about, from possible Noah's Ark discoveries and McDonald's drama to Amazon Pharmacy, Slim Goodbody, and the realization that our very friendly "guard dogs" would probably welcome an intruder right into the house. Obviously, we have thoughts. But somewhere a
#232 Consider the Wildflowers with Susannah B. Lewis
Our beloved friend Susannah B. Lewis (aka Whoa Susannah) is back, and this conversation takes us straight into both the deep AND shallow end, which of course is our favorite place to be. We start with the important things: what Susannah's theme song would be (hello, Michael Jackson), the easiest plants to keep alive, and her ever-growing love of gardening. But that conversation leads us somewhere
#231 Your Hand of Blessing is on my head
We're taking a little trip back to the '90s reminiscing about the glory days we may remember just a little more fondly than they actually happened. We're also talking all things Dolly Parton, farm animals, and the Calamity Club. You'll just have to listen. 😂 But then the conversation takes a more personal turn as we share an update on Atlas and thankfully some very good news. We talk about how Ps
#230 Dr. Beth Madison: When Suffering Transforms Your Faith
What does it actually mean to suffer well? In this episode, we're joined by a special guest, Dr. Beth Madison, for an honest conversation about suffering and the kind of faith that is formed when God doesn't immediately change our circumstances. We often think suffering well means being strong, holding it together, or somehow finding the right attitude in the middle of something incredibly hard. B
#229 No Longer Hiding
We're catching up on all the things this week including Fran's recovery, our time speaking at Jesus & Jammies, a few words we absolutely cannot stand, and a new Bible study Angela is loving. Then we turn to Psalm 139 and a question that hits a little closer to home: If God already knows everything about us, why are we still tempted to hide? We're talking about the important difference between conv
#228 Rambling about Psalm 139
What if the very thing you're ready to move past is the place where God is doing His deepest work? This week, we're talking about what it looks like to sit in the deep things with the Lord, to slow down long enough to let Him search our hearts, reveal what's underneath the surface, and lead us instead of rushing ahead to the next thing. Psalm 139 reminds us that God already knows us completely, so
#227 Abundance in the Unseen Places
What if the seasons that feel quiet, lonely, or even unproductive are actually invitations to something deeper? This conversation is about finding abundance in the ordinary moments when no one is watching and it's just us and the Lord. We're asking some honest questions: Where is my attention going? What has my affection? Why do I keep doing the things I don't want to do? And how am I stewarding t
#226 Welcome to Season 7!
What if the thing you're trying to hide is the very thing God wants to heal? This week on Rambling Through Everyday Life, we go from monkeys in Costa Rica and an RV adventure to engagement news, books we're loving, and a much deeper conversation about faith, vulnerability, confession, and being truly seen by God. Fran opens up about a hard season and what the Lord is teaching her about the conditi
#225 And That's A Wrap!
This season finale is classic rambling in the very best way! We're rambling about: ✨ American Idol (and how refreshing it is to see bold faith in mainstream culture) ✨ Fran's 24-hour NYC adventure ✨ Eden Salon therapeutic head spa reviews because self-care matters ✨ Nashville food adventures (Fryce Cream & Wanna Spoon Cereal Bar) ✨ podcasts we're loving (2819 Church & With the Perry's) ✨ Eric Ch
#224 Sometimes things just don't work. But we keep going!
This episode was indeed a challenge, but sometimes we have to keep going for the sake of not giving in to the tears, frustrations, and cuss words that are on the tip of your tongue. Lord willing, season 6 will wrap up next week. Can you believe it? Where has the year gone? Listen to the Perry's Podcast here with Matt Chandler! Don't forget to listen to part 2 as well.

#222 Fifty & Fabulous!
This week's episode is equal parts celebration and reflection. We're recapping Angela's "50 & Fabulous" birthday weekend in Franklin full of fun, laughter, and meaningful moments with the people she loves most. But beyond the celebration, this milestone sparked some honest questions we're all invited to consider in any new season: What do I want to carry forward? What am I ready to leave behind?
#221 Pickleball, Prom, and Pursuing What Actually Fills Us
In this episode, we're talking about everything from Oura rings and energy drinks to funny church stories, bucket list dreams, and those "come along with me" friendships we all need. But underneath it all, we keep coming back to one question: What is actually filling us? Because no supplement, habit, or routine can replace the true source of peace, strength, and joy. "Because we loved you so muc
#220 Rambling About Fun, Faith & A Few Random Detours
What do glow-in-the-dark pickleball, space missions, and a scalp massage have in common? Honestly… we're still not sure. 😄 This week's episode is classic Rambling Through Everyday Life, from Fran's nighttime pickleball tournament to our thoughts on Artemis II, a Tennessee Supreme Court session on Union's campus, and a surprising new favorite card game (SkyJo, anyone?). We also talk about rising st

Happy Easter Monday, friends! This episode is full of our favorite kind of conversation: real life, real faith, and a little bit of everything in between. We talk about our Easter traditions, what Holy Saturday teaches us about rest and waiting, and wrestle with a question that really matters: "what's the big deal about Jesus?"
