Author: Jeanine Amapola April 7, 2026 Duration: 54:25
Hey Y'all! Kaleb and I are sharing a little life update from our brand new Happy & Healthy studio, which still feels so GOOD to finally be recording in. We talk about what this new season has looked like for us, from finally feeling more settled in Oklahoma, to Kaleb wrapping up his first year of law school, to what God has been teaching us about marriage, faith, risk, and consistency. We also share a little about the response to the Carl Lentz episode, why grace and truth matter, and what it looks like to trust God even when life feels uncertain. Plus, Kaleb shares a big announcement about something he’s launching, and we talk about some fun dreams we have for the future. So glad you joined us!
