Episode 17 - The Human Sponge

Plugged In Podcast

Waking up to your child's unexpected late-night escapades can leave you feeling like you're living in a sitcom, and this episode kicks off with just that. Imagine my surprise when my son Caleb turned our home into his personal campground, complete with a flashlight and a splash! As we segue from these chuckles, we tackle the juxtaposition of friendship and babysitting duties on the lovers' holiday, Valentine's Day, and get hyped for Super Bowl fever with Reba McIntyre's headlining performance and the wild world of prop betting.
Strap in for a rollercoaster of emotions as we lay down our Super Bowl predictions, sharing the edge-of-your-seat anticipation for a showdown between the Chiefs and the 49ers. The spotlight shines on Brock Purdy's underdog saga, inspiring us all with his leap from "Mr. Irrelevant" to a championship contender. But it's not all about football; we take a moment to reflect on poignant biblical passages that stir deep personal connections, discussing how the grace found in Second Corinthians parallels our life's trials and triumphs.
Our heartfelt exchange closes on a powerful note, navigating through the turbulence of unmet expectations and the quest for joy amid life's curveballs. Drawing from the wisdom of Habakkuk, we muse on maintaining joy despite the barren fig trees of our lives—be it health setbacks, creative ruts, or personal storms. Join us as we share stories of steadfast joy and the peace that comes from surrendering control, encouraging you to find your footing on high places, whatever the terrain.
