Craig Groeschel On Protecting His Marriage, Social Media Boundaries & Avoiding Burnout
I sat down with Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church, for an AMAZING conversation. We talked about:
How to actually make your marriage last 35 years
Why you should prioritize your marriage over your kids
The behind-the-scenes safeguards he’s put in place to protect his integrity
What anxiety looked like for him as a pastor
Social media boundaries (this one hit me hard)
And why struggling with mental health is NOT a sin
I loved how honest he was about going through anxiety in 2019 — even while leading 45 campuses. It reminded me that no one is immune, and asking for help is wisdom, not weakness.
This episode felt like a masterclass in safeguards, sanctification, and self-awareness. And I’m honestly so grateful for leaders like Craig who are willing to be vulnerable.
In This Episode
03:30 – 35 Years of Marriage
09:10 – Safeguards & Integrity in Ministry
16:55 – Private Faith vs. Public Platform
24:45 – Connecting with God in Different Seasons
25:50 – Craig’s Anxiety Story
29:00 – Asking for Help
32:20 – Pattern Disruption & Healthy Rhythms
41:55 – Social Media & Mental Health
46:10 – Is Anxiety a Sin?

7 Ways To Make or BREAK Your Engagement Season
Engagement season is beautiful and exciting and romantic… but it can also be chaotic, stressful, and honestly? A little dramatic. 😂
In this episode, Kaleb (aka “the love doctor” apparently lol) and I share 7 things to avoid during your engagement season if you actually want it to be healthy and fun. We talk about everything from not getting consumed by wedding planning, to still asking hard questions, to handling in-laws, budgets, bridal parties, outside opinions, and yes… setting physical boundaries.
We also get super real about how engagement can bring up conflict you’ve never experienced before — and why that’s actually normal. There is spiritual warfare, there is pressure, there are a LOT of opinions flying around. But at the end of the day, your focus has to be on preparing for a marriage, not just planning a wedding.
Whether you're newly engaged, about to get engaged, or just dreaming about that season one day — this episode is full of practical wisdom, grace, and hard truths we wish someone had told us.
In This Episode
01:15 – Why Engagement Can Be Dramatic02:40 – Don’t Get Consumed by Wedding Planning08:58 – Don’t Ignore Red Flags17:45 – Don’t Spend Your Life Savings on the Wedding23:07 – Don’t Miss Your Wedding Taking Photos25:12 – Conflict During Engagement Is Normal29:23 – Don’t Play House33:33 – You’ll Never Be Single Again35:00 – Limit Outside Opinions40:30 – Bachelor & Bachelorette Party Boundaries47:00 – Final Encouragement + Spiritual Warfare Reminder

We Need To Talk About Megachurches and Pastors... ft. Pastor Jonathan Pokluda
In today’s episode, Kaleb and I dive into a topic that might ruffle a few feathers — the state of the modern church, especially mega churches. Inspired by a hilarious (but lowkey convicting) parody by comedian Druski, we talk about the skepticism a lot of people feel toward church nowadays. From prosperity gospel gone wild to pastors with private jets and Dior drip — it’s no wonder people are asking, “Is church even biblical anymore?”
We also bring on our dear friend and pastor, JP Pokluda, to unpack what the Bible actually says about church, how to find a healthy one, and why yes, you DO need to be plugged into a local body of believers.
Oh, and don’t worry — there’s also plenty of laughs, nostalgia, and a little youth group trauma mixed in. 😂

01:00 – Kaleb Shares His First Semester Grades
03:00 – Behind the Scenes of Law School Life
05:00 – Mega Churches... Are They Becoming a Problem?

Mistakes I Made in My 20's (Please Learn From These)
In today’s episode, I open up about the lessons, regrets, and mistakes I made in my 20s. From being lukewarm in my faith, losing my virginity, wasting money, chasing the wrong guys, desperate to be liked, and going ALL IN with Jesus. It's easy to see where I got off course now that I'm in my 30's but I WISH I knew some of the things I know now, back then. I pray this episode feels like a big sister chat and gives you some encouragement wherever you're at. God has taught me so much, and even though I made mistakes, His grace and redemption are so real.
