Summary

Today I sat down with the incredible Ellie Holcomb, and wow!!!! this conversation felt like a deep breath. We talked about what it really looks like to be on the hunt for God in our everyday lives like when you’re folding laundry, driving carpool, or wondering what’s next. Ellie shared honest and practical wisdom about parenting, trusting God with our kids, and the funny, holy moments that happen in between. We laughed over real-life stories (the kind only moms can tell), talked about how to keep your heart soft to God, and how to recognize what He might be placing on your path next even when it doesn’t make sense yet. If you’re craving hope, direction, or just a reminder that you’re not alone in the chaos and calling of motherhood and faith this episode is for you!
