At the start of every new year, it’s natural to want a fresh start. Many people create resolutions or goals — to eat better, work harder, rest more, or improve something about themselves. But what if, instead of creating a plan, we received one? Instead of setting a list of resolutions based on self-effort or performance, in this episode, Prodigal Peas in a Pod invite listeners to ask God for a “word” or phrase for the year — something that speaks to who they are becoming, not just what they are doing. It’s about identity over behavior, intimacy over striving, and receiving direction rather than creating it.

In this episode, Prodigal Peas in a Pod sit down with one of the most intentional and joy-filled people you'll ever meet -- Alysia Metallo -- our church’s worship leader, a gifted songwriter, musician, teacher, and all-around creative force. She’s multilingual, a devoted wife and mom, a writer with a beautiful way with words, and one of the funniest people you’ll ever meet.

But what truly sets her apart is the way she sees people. She has an incredible gift for noticing the heart behind the person in front of her. Whether she’s leading a team, mentoring a student, or simply having a conversation, she makes you feel seen, known, and deeply loved. She builds teams with both genius and grace, always encouraging, always intentional, always bringing out the best in those around her.

Join us as we talk about her creative process, her passion for worship, the people who have shaped her, and the way she carries love into every space she steps into. This is a conversation full of laughter, insight, and genuine connection. You won’t want to miss it!

This week on the podcast, Kathy Bales joined Prodigal Peas in a Pod for a great conversation full of laughter! Kathy wears more hats—and cute shoes—than most people could dream of. She’s a devoted teacher, a loving wife and mom, a pastor’s wife, and a published author with even more stories on the way (at least, Brooke hopes so!). In this episode, we talk about how authenticity shapes her relationships and her work and why embracing joy (and good footwear) matters more than we think. She’s genuine, fun, and brings a bright, grounded perspective to every room she enters. You’re going to love this conversation and maybe feel inspired to chase a few dreams of your own!

Prodigal Peas in a Pod are joined in this episode by someone who wears many hats—and wears them all with grace and style. Richele Walker is a wife, mom, sister, pastor, daughter of the King, an amazing friend, and truly a fashionista at heart. Shaped by strong women throughout her life, she now pours that same strength and encouragement into others. Whether in ministry, friendship, or leadership, she treats those around her as collaborators rather than people who “work for her,” creating an atmosphere of dignity, joy, and mutual respect. Currently, she is the Director of Family Ministries at Christian Fellowship Church in Ashburn, Virginia. You’re going to love hearing from Richele—her heart, her wisdom, and the way she leads with both confidence and kindness.
