The Soapbox

Drumroll please… it’s our first mother/daughter duo on The Soapbox! Cindy is a humble mom of 4 adult children who shares how the Holy Spirit invited her into a very specific posture with her children as a young mom. Bethany testifies, real-time, to her mom’s legacy- both in her life and as a mother and grandmother. We even left some bonus chatter on the Holy Spirit because it was too good not to share! You will absolutely be blessed by their wisdom and relationship!If you're in Bryan/College Station be sure to check out Bethany's dance studio, Suzanne's School of Dance, if you've got some little dancers in your home.We'd love for you to join us for You Are 26 on February 6-7!

We welcomed another wonderful Christine Hoover to The Soapbox and you’re going to be fast friends! Christine is a Church girl from ATX, an author, and most importantly, a boy mom! She vulnerably shares the importance of doing her own heart work as she has mothered. Christine and Kelsey discuss pain points in their own stories, idols, and opportunities to grow in wholeheartedness. Christine graciously shares how to know when there’s more underneath a reoccurring thought or feeling in motherhood and some ideas of where to go from there.
