Anna's husband made a comment that really struck Emily so much so we had to make it a podcast episode. There is so much wisdom in being proactive vs reactive. What does it look like to be proactive versus reactive in life? How can we be better at being proactive in our marriage, parenting, and our fight against sin?

We start this episode by reading a shocking Facebook post and the dangers behind selfishness. The question in today's episode is: is "me time" Biblical? Should we have an allotted, set aside time to "get away". What are things that we should get away from? Join us as we work through a biblical definition of what me time should look like and what it should not look like.

Anna gives us a pregnancy update and how she is remembering things while having pregnancy brain and then we go into our topic:

We've all had those times when is it hard to rejoice with others. Perhaps you are in a season of waiting (for marriage, for children, etc) and you are having to watch others experience those joys. How do you honestly rejoice with them? What about weeping with others when they experience things in life that you have not? How can we show sympathy to others in a time of need?
