Today on Got It From My Momma, I’m joined by Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth... two people whose lives and story have deeply impacted my own family in ways that are hard to fully put into words.

If you’re a mom, you know that life brings both incredible joy and unexpected heartbreak. And in some of the hardest seasons our family has walked through, their music, their faith, and their story were a steady source of comfort and hope for us.

Steven and Mary Beth have been married for 41 years, and their journey has held both beautiful highs and unimaginable lows. Through it all, they’ve continued to choose each other, and to trust God in the middle of it.

Their new book, Still Here… The Long Journey Home, is a heartfelt reflection on marriage, perseverance, grief, healing, and hope.

And yes, this is a first for us here on the podcast… Steven is officially our very first male guest (other than my son). But don’t worry, the topic earned him a seat on the couch, because we’re talking about something that matters to all of us: a marriage that lasts.

If you’re in a season of joy, struggle, or simply longing for encouragement in your marriage or motherhood journey, this conversation is for you.

We're taking the show on the road this week and heading to the Grand Ole Opry to talk with Opry members The Issacs, one of the most beloved bluegrass and country bands ever! Just the girls join us for this one where we feature a special mother daughter conversation with Lily and her daughters Sonya and Becky.

In this episode of Got it From My Momma, I sit down with Emily Cole—wife, mom of three, and co-founder of the wildly successful Savannah Bananas alongside her husband, Jesse Cole (yes, the one in the iconic yellow tux!).

But behind the viral sensation and sold-out crowds is a story most people don’t see.

Emily shares what it looked like to walk through uncertainty, financial risk, and seasons where nothing was guaranteed… all while holding onto a dream that felt bigger than logic. We talk about the power of believing in something before you see it, supporting your spouse through big leaps, and raising a family grounded in purpose along the way.

We also dive into their heart for foster care and adoption through their organization, Bananas Foster, and how they’re using their platform to make a real difference.

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever wondered:
What if we actually went for it?

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

• Taking risks when the outcome is unknown
• The real story behind the Savannah Bananas
• Motherhood in the middle of it all
• Foster care, adoption, and living with purpose
