We hit record tonight in our pajamas with no plan—just real conversation about purpose, calling, and the major shift God has been walking us through. Over the last few years, we’ve been deeply involved in ministry—leading small groups, serving, growing, learning, and giving our time wherever God needed us. But recently God shook things up. A door we thought would remain open… closed. And a new season began.In this episode we talk about:✨ How God confirms decisions in marriage✨ What it looks like when a calling shifts✨ Why obedience sometimes means stepping back✨ Marketplace ministry vs. traditional ministry✨ How God uses careers, business, and everyday life to reach people✨ Finding purpose again after transition✨ Letting God bring the right people into the right roles✨ Why ministry doesn’t stop just because the title changesWe talk about the challenge of stepping away from official leadership positions—even when you love serving—and learning to trust God enough to stop over-functioning and let Him move. Because ministry was never meant to stay inside four walls.As we step into 2026, we're choosing obedience—even when it’s uncomfortable—and asking God to make us bold again: bold to pray for people, bold to serve, bold to love, and bold to share the Gospel wherever He places us.If you’re in a season of transition, questioning your purpose, or wondering why God shifted things in your life… this conversation is for you.🎙️ Podcast: Life With Holan & Cassy💜 Real faith.

In today’s episode (pt. 2/2), we’re diving deep into small groups—what they are, why they matter, and how they’ve shaped our personal walk with God and community.

Small groups go by many names: Life Groups, Community Groups, Home Fellowship, Bible Study, even Mini Church—but the heart behind them stays the same: doing life together with God at the center.

We share:

✨ Why small groups are biblical (Acts model)

✨ The purpose behind gathering in homes vs. a big Sunday service

✨ Different types of small groups + how churches use them

✨ The difference between a small group and a home church

✨ Why vulnerability, trust, and consistency matter

✨ How small groups help people stop “suffering in silence”

✨ Real stories from our new church plant in Las Vegas

✨ Being Spirit-led instead of rigid or overly structured

✨ The beauty of organic, natural friendship that happens outside the “official” group time

Whether you're new to church, returning to faith, part of a church plant, or simply curious about community, this episode will encourage you to step into deeper connection—with God and with people. Let’s build real, authentic community—one small group at a time.

Hey friends, it’s Holan and Cassy! Thanksgiving is here, and we’re spilling all the tea—stuffing, pecan pie, and yes… leftover turkey debates. 🥧🍗

We chat about our family traditions (some weird, some sweet), the first time we tried green bean casserole, how to survive Black Friday without losing your mind, and what it’s really like celebrating Thanksgiving as a mix of cultures.

It’s messy, it’s heartfelt, it’s us—just a couple of food-loving goofballs trying to make the holidays special.

💬 What’s your weirdest or most-loved Thanksgiving tradition? Drop it in the comments—we need ideas for next year!

In part two of our social media conversation, we’re diving deep into how faith, intention, and discernment can protect your heart—both spiritually and mentally—while navigating online spaces. We talk about applying the Armor of God in everyday life, focusing on the breastplate of righteousness to guard what you allow into your heart and mind.

Cassy shares her personal journey of cleaning up her social accounts—unfollowing or unfriending people, brands, and accounts that weren’t aligned with her values or were negatively impacting her mental and spiritual health. We explore the role of intention in choosing what to consume online, from news and social media feeds to music and entertainment, and how to set boundaries without guilt.

This episode also touches on people-pleasing tendencies, the importance of meaningful friendships, and finding genuine connection in a digital world without sacrificing your peace or your convictions. Plus, practical tips on identifying when to step back, when to stay, and how to create a social media environment that encourages growth, faith, and positivity.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, drained, or unsure about how to navigate relationships and content online, this episode is for you. Learn how to curate your online life intentionally, protect your heart, and cultivate the relationships that truly matter.

Let’s talk social media. 📱

It’s everywhere, it affects how we feel, how we see the world, and even our walk with God. In this episode, we share our personal experiences — from the early days of Facebook and AOL Instant Messenger to the Instagram and TikTok world we navigate today.

We get real about the mental load of scrolling, the pressure to “look perfect,” and how social media can shape your relationships — both online and offline. Plus, we share how God prompted us to clean up our accounts, remove distractions, and fill our feeds with content that truly brings peace and joy.

Whether you’re struggling with comparison, burnout, or just want to be intentional with your digital space, this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s talk about showing up online without letting it control your heart. ❤️

Part 2 coming soon — we’ll dive deeper into how to curate your social media connections for your spiritual and mental well-being.

Music has always had a way of moving us — shaping our moods, our memories, and sometimes even our beliefs. 🎶

In this episode, we talk about what it’s like navigating music as Christians — from growing up in two completely different worlds (Cassy with her church playlists, Holan with his old-school hip-hop) to finding balance in what we listen to now.

We get into conviction vs. condemnation, how lyrics can impact your spirit, and how artists like Kanye have shifted how we talk about faith through music.

We’re not here to judge what’s “right” or “wrong” — just to open the conversation and share how God has been refining our hearts even in the small things… like the songs we love.
