Welcome to Sunday Faith, Weekday Chaos—where Faith meets Family, and spinning in circles meets Sunday School!

The waters are rising, the grass is growing, and the chaos is at an all-time high this week on the homestead. Join Ashley and Matthew as they recap a wild week packed with intense local flash floods, graduation season madness, and a laundry list of personal "firsts."

In this episode:

• The Zero-Turn Terror: Ashley's first time behind the handles of a mower with incredibly sensitive steering levers.

• Sweet & Savory Wins: The perfection of a first-ever homemade chocolate pie and the pressure of smoking a premium Cowboy Ribeye.

• Sunday Faith: Ashley steps way out of her comfort zone to teach Children’s Church (age 4 - Kindergarten) for the first time.

Using Joshua 1:9 and Proverbs 3:5-6, we reflect on how stepping into uncharted territory requires total reliance on God. When you feel like you're spinning in circles, how do you hand over the controls?

“Where faith meets family… and the chicken coop learns how to fly.”

This week, the Brooks homestead officially took flight—literally. We’re opening up the kitchen table to talk about the morning our chicken coop decided to become a kite, right as we were fully ready to head out the door for the day. Cue the sudden, chaotic rescue mission to round up a very confused flock. (Don’t worry, no chickens were harmed!)

Once the sky cleared and the birds were secure, we moved on to our summer garden plans. Or at least, it would have been a calm conversation if we didn't get into a massive debate over exactly how many pepper plants Matthew brought home.

🚨 THE OFFICIAL PEPPER UPDATE: You’ll hear us completely disagreeing on the count during the episode, but the moment we hit stop, Matthew went out to the garden to count them. The final number? 20 plants. Exactly what Ashley said.

Grab your coffee and join us as we laugh through the morning madness and dive into 1 Thessalonians, reflecting on how to stay grounded and find true peace when life unexpectedly scatters your plans.

“Where faith meets family… and chaos meets the calendar.”

Ever feel like the week is winning? You aren’t alone. In Episode 4, we’re recapping a week that was moving at a breakneck pace—from the kids' non-stop schedules to the general homestead hustle.

Matthew and Ashley sit down at the kitchen table to share the funniest (and most stressful) highlights of the recent whirlwind. But more importantly, we’re talking about those "full circle" moments where our faith is finally catching up to our reality. We’re diving into how we’re learning to stay grounded and find actual peace, even when the calendar refuses to slow down.
