• Ep 10 // Muffins and Freedom: The Joy of Obedience.
    May 26 2026

    Carli sets out by asking how Cynci inspires people toward fun generosity, but the conversation takes a turn toward chocolate espresso muffins, helping a homeless woman, and at last arrives at how it really is fun and beautiful to stick with Jesus and live obediently. Don't forget, generosity is in the same word camp as love and freedom, NOT with obligation and duty. We enjoyed this one, hope you do too. :)

    Mar 31 2026

    Carli and Cynci share what's on their minds after the vision trip. For Carli, she didn't know anything about what it means to be a global organization that helps people overseas.
