About this listen

It started with a joke about how we never see things the same way (and somehow an analogy in conversation, it became a podcast).

Two totally different ways of seeing the same moment.

But somewhere between the jokes, the deep talks, and the everyday chaos, we realized: maybe that’s the point.

Welcome to The Lantern and The Flashlight- a space for real conversations, unfiltered faith and lots of laughter as we stumble forward in marriage, parenting, grand-parenting and following Jesus.

We're not perfect. We're not polished.

We’re here to share what it looks like to keep showing up, keep learning, and keep the light on for each other—even when we don’t see things the same way.

Pull up a chair, we are glad you're here.

  • The Road We Didn't Map
    Jan 13 2026

    From the very beginning, our marriage has included room to breathe. Encouragement to take alone time. Support to go home. A trust that distance doesn’t mean disconnection.

    This episode is a walk back through the early days. The role music played in bringing us to Tennessee, the long drives, the unexpected detours, and the seasons of uncertainty that followed. We reflect on the years that reshaped everything, and how the very thing that brought us here is even finding its way back again.

    This is our road map. So much we couldn't see ahead, but somehow kept walking together.

  • Not All Drifting Is Stealing Cars (Pt. 2)

    Part Two continues our conversation about drifting, feeling unseen, emotional burdens, and reconnecting through small, spirit-led moments. Drifting isn’t the death — God restores what feels apart.

  • Not All Drifting Is Stealing Cars (Pt. 1)
    Dec 5 2025

    When marriage drifts, it rarely happens through drama — it happens quietly.

    In this (part one) episode, we talk about the subtle seasons where you aren’t fighting, but you’re not really connecting either.

    We explore how small frustrations reveal deeper needs, how resentment begins before anger, and how feeling unseen can happen on both sides at the same time.

    Through Scripture and personal reflection, we discuss learning each other, carrying each other’s burdens, and noticing God in the everyday moments.

    If you’re feeling disconnected, this conversation reminds you that small things can become pathways back to each other — and God works in the quiet.
