Shame often hides in the roles we care about most — marriage and motherhood.

In this powerful conversation on Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Megan interviews Christian author Shayla Huber about healing shame in marriage and motherhood and discovering your true identity in Christ

Room recording - Feb 4, 2026

.

Raised in church but carrying unresolved trauma, Shayla describes what she calls being an “orphan Christian” — believing in God but not fully receiving His love. That internal shame followed her into marriage, where self-criticism and insecurity shaped communication, and into motherhood, where overstimulation and perfectionism created frustration and guilt.

Through mentorship, inner healing, and a renewed understanding of God’s love, Shayla experienced radical transformation. She went from striving for approval to resting in her identity as a daughter of God.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How shame affects Christian marriage
• Why motherhood often exposes unresolved trauma
• How to stop self-criticism as a Christian mom
• Breaking generational patterns through faith
• The difference between striving and surrender
• How to respond instead of react in parenting
• Why identity in Christ changes marriage and motherhood
• The power of mentorship and spiritual guidance
• Growing spiritually as a young wife and mom
• How to build a legacy rooted in love instead of fear

Healing shame begins when you stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and start believing, “I belong.”

You are not called to perform for God’s love.
You are called to receive it.

When you live from identity instead of insecurity, your marriage softens, your parenting steadies, and your legacy shifts.

Faith grows in the small, consistent moments.

In this week’s episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Chad and Megan continue their Advance series by focusing on one foundational truth: if your faith isn’t advancing, everything else eventually slows down.

Many believers want to grow spiritually but struggle with consistency. The problem usually isn’t desire. It’s structure. Spiritual growth requires intentional habits that keep God’s Word in front of you and obedience active in your life.

In this conversation, Chad and Megan share how they build faith into daily rhythms in practical ways, including:

• Memorizing and writing scripture weekly
• Keeping God’s Word visible in journals and everyday spaces
• Praying intentionally before decisions
• Saying yes and no with spiritual discernment
• Leading with biblical alignment at home and at work

They emphasize that faith isn’t fragile. One hard day doesn’t undo your growth. Obedience still moves you forward. The more consistently you turn to God, the more natural it becomes to keep turning to Him.

Spiritual discipline is not about pressure or perfection. It’s about alignment. Daily faith habits compound over time and create a stronger relationship with God, deeper peace, clearer leadership, and greater impact in your marriage and family.

If you want to grow in faith daily, prevent spiritual drift, and build habits that truly matter, this episode offers both encouragement and direction.

Spiritual drifting doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens quietly, slowly, and often without us realizing it.

In this week’s episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Chad and Megan kick off the year by addressing one of the most common struggles in the Christian life: losing spiritual momentum without meaning to. Life gets busy, responsibilities pile up, and before we know it, our faith feels distant, inconsistent, or stalled.

This episode centers on the idea of advancing spiritually instead of drifting, especially in the New Year. Chad and Megan remind listeners that faith isn’t passive. You don’t accidentally grow closer to God. Spiritual growth requires intention, alignment, and obedience, even when the steps feel small.

Using Philippians 3:13–14, they explore the movement language of faith, forgetting what’s behind, pressing forward, and focusing on what God is calling us toward next. They talk about why faith must come before focusing on family, health, leadership, or goals, because when faith stalls, everything else eventually feels heavier.

This conversation is especially for those who:

• Feel spiritually distant or disconnected from God
• Want to grow in faith but don’t know where to start
• Are tired of New Year resolutions that don’t last
• Desire alignment instead of overwhelm
• Want practical, faith-based rhythms for everyday life

Rather than encouraging listeners to overhaul their lives, Chad and Megan emphasize small, obedient steps, daily and weekly rhythms, and choosing alignment over pressure. Growth doesn’t happen overnight. It happens one faithful step at a time.

This episode sets the foundation for the year ahead and invites listeners into a different pace, one rooted in intention, obedience, and trust in God’s direction.

You don’t drift into a strong family.
You build one on purpose.

In this week’s episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Chad and Megan continue their Advance series by focusing on the second pillar that shapes legacy: family. They speak honestly about how easy it is to be advancing at work while slowly drifting at home, and why winning professionally while losing relationally is never a true win

Chad and Megan share their story of becoming parents young, choosing to fight for family despite broken backgrounds, and learning over time that alignment, not good intentions, keeps a family moving in the right direction. They explain why faith is the foundation, but family is often the first place pressure, distraction, and misalignment show up.

This episode challenges the idea that families fail because of bad intentions. Instead, Chad and Megan point out that most families struggle because there is no clear direction, no shared vision, and no intentional rhythms holding things together.

They unpack the powerful truth that presence matters more than perfection, especially in parenting and marriage. Kids don’t need packed schedules or more stuff, they need connection. Spouses don’t need grand gestures, they need intentional time and honest communication.

Using Joshua 24:15, they emphasize that strong families are led, not managed. Leadership at home doesn’t mean control or micromanagement, it means clarity, consistency, and choosing your family first, even when work, schedules, and responsibilities compete for attention.

Chad and Megan also share practical rhythms they’ve built over the years, including weekly calendar check-ins, intentional date nights, prayer walks, and simple habits that protect margin and connection. They remind listeners that if you don’t lead your family intentionally, something else will, whether it’s work, phones, sports, or busyness.

This episode is both a wake-up call and an encouragement. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present, willing, and intentional.

A new year doesn’t require a new you — it requires a clearer direction.

In this foundational episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Chad and Megan share the word God placed on their hearts for 2026: Advance. Not rushed growth. Not burnout-driven hustle. But forward movement rooted in faith, alignment, and intention.

This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reframe how you approach the year ahead. Instead of chasing resolutions that fade, Chad and Megan introduce a simple but powerful framework that helps guide decisions, priorities, and daily rhythms throughout the year.

They unpack how choosing a word becomes a filter for decision-making, a posture for everyday life, and a way to stay aligned with what matters most — especially in seasons that feel busy, overwhelming, or unclear.

At the heart of this episode are four foundational pillars that shape their family, leadership, and legacy:

The Four Pillars of Advancement

Faith – Building everything on a deep, anchored relationship with God

Family – Being intentional with marriage, children, and grandchildren

Fitness – Stewarding physical, mental, and emotional health for longevity and impact

Focus – Living with clarity in work, calling, and stewardship

Rather than chasing perfection, this episode emphasizes progress, self-awareness, and sustainable growth. Chad and Megan share real-life examples from their marriage, parenting, grandparenting, and careers, showing how alignment leads to peace, clarity, and momentum.

You’ll also hear practical encouragement for listeners who feel behind, overwhelmed, or stuck. This episode reminds you that growth doesn’t happen overnight — and that even choosing one pillar to focus on can begin meaningful change.

This is not just an episode — it’s the starting line of a year-long conversation about living anchored, intentional, and aligned with God’s direction.
