Send us a text This episode went somewhere we didn’t plan—but maybe exactly where it needed to go. What begins with a listener question about the stigma surrounding antidepressants quickly turns into a raw and honest conversation. Steph opens up about her experience with childhood abuse, and Kacie shares about an assault in early adulthood. These confessions were unplanned, but they were intentional moments of bringing what’s been hidden into the light. Even as the topics get heavy, we do wha...

Send us a text In this episode, Steph takes us back to her 90s childhood in Utah — a place where coffee felt rebellious, almost everyone shared the same faith except her, and “fitting in” was just about attainable as perfection. We dive into what it was like being the non-Mormon kid in a very Mormon world, how that shaped her identity, and why God sometimes places us exactly where we feel the most out of place. From school culture shock to Jell-O side dishes and the spiritual lessons sh...

Send us a text This week on Kinda Preachy, we’re pulling back the curtain on the kind of grief nobody warns you about: the grief of losing the people, places, and callings we thought we’d be with forever. Kacie opens up about the deeper layers of hurt she’s still discovering after stepping away from ministry—because apparently grief comes in waves, plot twists, and surprise reruns. And Steph shares how losing an entire friend group sucked but somehow became the thing God used to restore her m...

Send us a text Ever felt like heaven hit “Do Not Disturb” on your prayers? Same. In this episode, we get real about those seasons when faith feels quiet, your Bible gathers dust, and your heart feels a little… ghosted. We talk about what it looks like to stay grateful, stay disciplined, and stay in the Word even when you don’t feeling it. It’s honest, it’s tender, it’s a little funny, and it’s exactly the reminder we all need: keep praying, keep showing up, and trust that God hasn’t gone anywher...

Send us a text We’re thrilled to welcome Nedra McDaniel of Adventure Mom to chat about the lessons she’s learned through grief, growth, and a whole lot of adventure. Nedra shares how losing her mom and brother inspired her to live intentionally and to become both an inviter and a yes-sayer. Along the way, we swap funny stories, talk about building community, and explore why simple invitations can lead to the most meaningful moments. You can find more from Nedra at her site https://adventuremombl...

Send us a text In this episode, Steph and Kacie get real about the deceitful comfort of stretchy pants, the betrayal of bathroom mirrors and a way to honest confession about our current perimenopausal weights. But, beyond the leggings and laughter, Steph shares one of her stories about infertility, faith and learning that while stretchy pants may lie, God never does. Tune in for humor, hope and a reminder that His timing is always worth the wait. We also may owe a small apology for unintentional...

Send us a text Remember that classic Friends episode where Ross, Rachel, and Chandler are stuck in a stairwell trying to move a couch, and Ross just keeps yelling, “PIVOT!”? Yeah, life can feel a lot like that. We’ve got our plans, our perfectly measured doorways, and then—bam!—the couch of reality gets jammed halfway up the stairs. In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when life doesn’t fit through the doorway you expected. Sometimes God asks us to pivot—not because He’s changing H...
