  • Why Simple Living Creates Everyday Heroes
    Jan 5 2026

    In this episode, we’re opening the door to our 2026 theme, Be Someone’s Hero, and talking about how a simple life naturally shapes everyday heroes. When we slow down and live with intention, we begin to notice the quiet needs around us — and that’s where small deeds and steady kindness make the biggest difference.

    Join me on the back porch as we explore how faith, presence, and the rhythms of simple living help us become a gentle force for good right where we are.
