Summary

*Tried to upload video three times and it just wouldn't work. Every year we tell ourselves this will be a simple recap episode. Sponsored by The Liturgy Club - ⁠⁠https://shop.walkinlove.com/products/liturgy-club⁠⁠  Every year… we’re wrong. What starts as “let’s look back” quietly becomes something else entirely—less highlight reel, more meaning-making. In this episode, we’re not naming the best things of 2025. We’re naming the things that stayed. The shows that lived in our house. The music playing in the background of real life. The moments that shaped us, whether we planned for them or not. We talk about the TV shows that surprised us, comforted us, or kept us up too late. The music that soundtracked ordinary days and emotional moments. The movies we’re still referencing without even realizing it. Then we get to our anchor segment: our Mount Rushmore of 2025. Not the biggest things. The defining things. Four moments and shifts that formed the year—some joyful, some heavy, all honest. From there, we zoom out. One word for the year. One sentence that sums it up. One thing that ended. One thing that quietly began. We share the biggest lessons we learned—some the hard way, some by finally stopping the fight—and what surprised us most about ourselves, our kids, our marriage, and our capacity. And as always, we close slowly. With gratitude. With honesty. With permission for end-of-year feelings to be complicated. If you’re feeling tender, tired, relieved, proud, disappointed—or all of it at once—this episode is for you. Thanks for being here. Thanks for listening. Thanks for being part of this year with us. 2026… here we come. If you love what we do and want more behind-the-scenes fun, bonus episodes, and exclusive content, join the walk in love.
