Ancient Paths
S2E5 | Do It Scared

In this episode of The Ancient Paths Podcast, we’re taking a pause to catch up on life — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. It’s a personal check-in and a gentle nudge toward something deeper: the invitation to step into what God is calling you to, even when it feels uncertain. Sometimes obedience looks like moving forward afraid, showing up without all the answers, and doing it scared. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to start, this one's for you.

Ancient Paths
S2E2 | How Prepared ARE You?

We took a bit of different direction this week. With all of the craziness going on in the world, Wendy and I decided to talk about something we are both very passionate about. We are not doomsdayers (because we know HE lives!) but we have very strong opinions about stewarding our resources in a God honoring way to be prepared for the ebbs and flows of life.

Come along with us in this episode as we ask some thought provoking questions to get your preparedness wheels turning. We aren't here to scare or shame anyone, we are here to inspire and challenge you to think beyond just today.

Join us this week as we soak up the beautiful Spring weather, get distracted by bees and weeds, and rabbit trail our way through this topi all while out in the secret garden at Wendy’s house.
