Summary

In this episode, we sit down with one of Kenz's oldest and dearest friends, Courtney Slavinski — the girl who literally led her to Jesus! From swing dancing to homeschooling four kids, Courtney shares how saying a simple yes to the Holy Spirit turned into hosting 200+ high school students in her living room every week. Yep, you read that right. She and her husband Steve started Waygo Youth — a grassroots movement that’s discipling teens in radical, Spirit-filled ways right from their home. We talk motherhood, ministry, marriage, and what it really looks like to live a life fully surrendered to Jesus. Prepare to be convicted, encouraged, and fired up to live on mission — wherever God has you! Topics Discussed Courtney’s Faith Journey From knowing about God to truly knowing Him Wago Youth Begins A few girls on a couch turns into a full-blown youth movement… in her living room! Ministry & Motherhood How Courtney juggles four kids, a husband, and a house full of teenagers Discipleship in the Everyday The heart behind Waygo Ministry with Her Husband Steve’s swing dancing, zipline-building, game-leading role in the Waygo family. Pushing Back on “I’m Too Busy” What Courtney would say to moms who feel like they don’t have anything to offer beyond their family. When Obedience Feels Too Costly Real-life frustrations, spiritual warfare, and trusting God when things get hard. What Radical Faith Actually Looks Like Not a side hustle. Not just for the bold. But the only way to follow Jesus. Thanks To Our Sponsors! Cozy Earth: Elevate your style and space with their luxuriously simple designs crafted from only the best materials.
