Yup, my husband is here today for some laughs, some truth, and it wouldn't be him without a few inappropriate comments too. Maybe don't listen to this one with the children around.  We debate the great 8 of adult only vacations (shocker: I thought sleep should be ranked way up there and he thought....well, eh hem I'll just let you listen).  And then we rounded out the episode by answering questions you asked. Pet peeves, parenting, keeping the flame alive in marriage...we kind of cover the spectrum. Leave a review. Share with a friend. Always SO grateful to have you here with me.

Join me today on the intro episode of Tried and True! We're chatting through the journey of how I got here, who I am, and what I'll be sharing each week on the podcast (stay tuned for the segment breakdown).

Hey y’all! I’m Kristen White.  I love to think, ask, and share about what’s proven to be good and trustworthy…what’s stood the test of time and what hasn’t too. The fun and light things. And the heavy and hard things. After all, life is so often made up of both. So, we talk about it ALL.  My hope is that you walk away from episodes feeling seen and encouraged in your every day journeys of faithfulness right where you are. Along the way, we’ll keep learning together amidst an ever-changing world that some things, people, and ideas have proven to be…tried & true. Welcome to the podcast!
