In this opening episode of our new series on choice, Ruthe and Tim sit down to explore what remains within our control when life feels anything but controllable.

Holding Tomorrow With Trust takes us to a snowy morning in Leavenworth, Washington, where we sit down with Myles (“Sasquatch”)—a private, music-loving builder who survived diabetes, colon cancer, chemo, and a heart attack, all in one season.

An honest, hope-filled conversation about the difference between conviction and self-condemnation—and why guilt so often shows up around rest, productivity, grief, and “not doing enough.” Ruthe and Tim sit down with Pastor Scott Heider.

In this episode of the Let It Be Podcast, Ruthe and Tim step into one of life’s most misunderstood seasons: the transition into a new normal.

It’s a reminder that normalcy isn’t something you return to… it’s something you learn to receive.

In this episode, Ruthe and Tim dive into the often-ignored beauty of everyday life — the routines, the pauses, the simple moments that feel almost miraculous after seasons of chaos or grief.

in times that are anything but normal.
