This episode is deeply personal.

I finally sat down with my husband to walk through his faith journey—from church pews as a child, to wandering, wrestling, and finally returning home to the heart of God.

We talk about the in-between seasons, the quiet prayers that covered him, the moment he chose baptism after the birth of our third child, and how spiritual leadership is shaping our home today.

It’s raw. Redemptive. And such a reminder that no one is ever too far for God to reach.

📖 “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him…” —Luke 15:20

The love that runs toward us, even when we’re still coming back.

I pray it blesses you like it blessed us.

Listen + share with someone who needs the reminder that God still pursues.

I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Mary Lane Montoya—a powerhouse military spouse, mama to one, digital marketing expert, seasoned entrepreneur, and the visionary behind The OCONUS Project.

Mary opens up about how a chaotic PCS, unexpected employment hurdles, and the daily juggle of motherhood became the very soil where God planted her purpose—and how The OCONUS Project grew from that sacred space. This episode is raw, honest, and full of faith. If you’re in a season of transition or quietly asking God, “What now?”—this one’s going to speak to you.

This episode has been burning on my heart, and I’m so grateful to finally share it with you.

We’re diving into how a woman’s words can shape, heal, or harm—in our marriages, our friendships, our parenting, and even the way we speak to ourselves behind closed doors. We’re opening the Word, confronting some hard truths, and breaking down how we can stop repeating the same harmful cycles.

Stick around ‘til the end— I’ll be sharing three practical steps to start shifting your speech and I’ll close us out with prayer, so you don’t just walk away inspired, but equipped.

I’d love to hear from you:
