From Karl's "old man" birthday to strawberry wine nail polish, young people's slang, and a turkey that came home from Michaels, this week's conversation has no shortage of shenanigans! We're also rambling about Snookum's Steakhouse, Trunk or Treat ideas, and an angry bird causing trouble at the Chicago airport.

Then we turn to spiritual growth: How do we ask meaningful questions in a discipleship relationship and make room to honestly evaluate how we're growing? Colossians 3 invites us to put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, giving us plenty to consider in our everyday relationships.

Join us for laughter, encouragement, and a little spiritual scavenger hunt as we look for treasures along the way. Which quality from Colossians 3 are you practicing this week?

From the candy corn debate to things we just don't understand, we're bringing plenty of silliness to this week's conversation. We're also talking about the Denmark cemetery walk, Union Homecoming, and an update on Fran's mom. We share takeaways from Jen Wilkin's new book on aging "Dust to Dust" including this perspective: "Growing older is a gift to receive, not a problem to solve." Whether you're navigating midlife or caring for aging parents, there's much to consider about receiving each season with gratitude.

Then, inspired by a ladies' gathering at the barn and Galatians 6:2, we talk about what it means to carry one another's burdens. We don't have to fix anything or have the perfect words, we simply need to show up for one another and also allow someone to help carry our own load.

We're also beginning a new memory verse, Philippians 4:6, reminding us to bring our worries to God in prayer, with thanksgiving.

Angela's unexpected ER visit, a monkey on the loose, and questions about underwater tunnels gave us plenty to ramble about this week!

Angela shares the health scare that changed her Trunk or Treat plans (and Karl's hilarious reaction when the doctor ordered a pregnancy test!) all of which led us to a familiar question: Why is it so hard to ask for help, especially when we just talked about carrying one another's burdens?

Then we're back to things we simply don't understand. How do underwater tunnels work? How do text messages travel between phones (and could a magnifying glass help us see them??) How do migrating birds know when to leave and where to return? Add a loose monkey in Crockett County and you can imagine how well we hold it together.

We also recap our sweet time with the ladies of Woodland Baptist Church in Brownsville, where we spoke on "Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room" and Fran accidentally ate green beans.

Along the way, we continue discussing aging, honoring our parents, and practicing "I get to" instead of "I have to." Our November memory verse, Philippians 4:6–7, brings us back to prayer, thanksgiving, and the peace of God as we head toward the holiday season.

What's something you just don't understand? Send us your questions and if you have Mississippi State advice for Cole, we'd love that, too!
