19. Wading Through the Muck: Why Messy Community is Good Community
Marissa and Mike introduce their first video episode! They argue that "messy" community can be meaningful and a sign of deeper relationships rather than failure.
They encourage listeners not to jump ship over minor annoyances and to distinguish between small issues to tolerate (like social irritations with neighbors or coworkers) and bigger issues that may require hard conversations and boundaries (such as kids not getting along, workplace gossip, or faith differences).
Their practical guidance emphasizes over-communicating, giving others the benefit of the doubt, choosing not to be easily offended, and learning to agree to disagree—especially avoiding inflammatory social media behavior in favor of in-person conversations.
They close by challenging listeners to reflect on whether they are making “mountains out of molehills” or avoiding needed boundaries, reinforcing that imperfect people and relationships are worth working through.

18. Radical Generosity and Loving Your People Well
In this episode, Michael & Marissa talk about radical generosity 🤍—what it really looks like to step outside our comfort zones and give from our own well of personal resources.
The result? Deeper connection, unexpected blessing, and a transformed heart 🙌.
We explore what radical generosity can look like in everyday life:
⏰ Giving time, presence, and talents—not just finances
🫶 Serving with an open heart, not a maxed-out life
🌱 Giving sacrificially and trusting God with the outcome
Generosity isn’t a formula or a checklist—it looks different for everyone. But when we choose it faithfully, God often uses it to shape our relationships and refine our hearts 💛.
Join us as we unpack the heart behind radical generosity and then spend some time reflecting on how this might look in your own life.

17. More Than a Job: Building Community at Work
We spend a significant portion of our lives at work—often alongside people we didn’t choose and don’t always connect with naturally. In this episode, Michael & Marissa explore what it looks like to foster genuine community in the workplace without forcing friendship or crossing professional boundaries 🤝.
This conversation isn’t about finding your best friends at work. Instead, it’s about choosing care over indifference and humanity over “robot mode” 🤖➡️❤️.
💬 In this episode, we talk about:
Why workplace community matters more than we often realize
How to care for coworkers you’re “stuck with” (even when it’s hard)
The difference between clocking in/out and actually investing in people
Building trust and respect with appropriate boundaries
Why stronger relationships often lead to better teamwork and productivity
🌱 What we hope you’ll walk away with:
A renewed perspective on the people you work with every day
Practical ways to check in, serve, and show care at work
Encouragement that small, intentional efforts can shift workplace culture
Whether you love your coworkers, struggle with them, or fall somewhere in between, this episode offers a realistic and encouraging look at how community can exist at work—and why it’s worth the effort.
