What if a slower, more intentional life at home could actually make things easier? In this heartfelt conversation, Bethany and Adam sit down with Lisa Bass—homeschooling mom of eight and creator of Farmhouse on Boone—to talk about what it really looks like to raise a big family, cook from scratch, and build a peaceful home.
Lisa shares how routines, confidence, and a strong “why” have helped her navigate homeschooling, home cooking, and sourcing real food. They talk about sourdough (yes, it can be simple!), raw milk, raising lifelong learners, and the importance of choosing a lifestyle that may look countercultural—but brings deep joy.

What happens when life throws you not one, but two life-altering tragedies, and you survive them both?
Bethany and Adam sit down with their close friend Matt Manzari, a former professional wakeskater whose life was radically changed after two near-fatal accidents, one a catastrophic head injury, the other a 12,000-volt electrocution. But Matt's story isn’t just about surviving. It’s about redefining identity, reclaiming joy, and pointing everything back to the goodness and grace of God.
Matt shares how he went from chasing success and sponsorships to finding his true identity in Christ, how trauma reshaped his theology of suffering, and how his family now lives out intentional faith through weekly sabbaths, deep conversations, and wild outdoor adventures. You'll hear his insights on parenting, purpose, and the "unfair" grace of a God who walks with us through the fire.

Listener note: This episode includes mature spiritual themes and is intended for adult audiences.
What happens when you chase spiritual freedom, only to find yourself more lost than ever?
In this episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with former model and writer Ali Tate to unpack her journey out of the New Age movement and into something far more grounding. From breathwork and plant medicine to church pews and monogamy, Ali shares how her search for truth led her to Jesus in the most unexpected ways.
She opens up about what changed when she became a mother, why she believes self-denial is actually a gift, and how letting go of her old identity made room for peace and purpose. It’s a powerful conversation about spiritual hunger, cultural confusion, and the kind of love that transforms everything.
 
Guest Bio:
Ali Tate is a former international model who spent over a decade in the fashion industry before walking away from the spotlight to pursue something more meaningful. Once deeply immersed in the New Age movement, dabbling in plant medicine, tantra, and spiritual healing, Ali found herself wrestling with the darkness that came with it. That search for truth eventually led her to Jesus.
Now a writer, entrepreneur, and mom of (almost) two, Ali is passionate about faith, family, and reclaiming the sacred in everyday life. She speaks honestly about the challenges of motherhood, the beauty of monogamy, and why she believes so many in her generation are hungry for something real.

In this short and powerful episode of All Things Possible, Bethany and Adam dive into a chapter from Scandalous Stories by Daniel Emery Price and Eric Sorensen, reflecting on one of the most raw and redemptive moments in Scripture—Jesus’ dinner with a Pharisee and a sinful woman.
With a mix of laughter, tears, and truth, Adam reads the chapter “Every Pharisee Needs a Prostitute,” followed by heartfelt reflections from both him and Bethany. Together, they unpack what it means to be both sinner and saint, to sit at the table of grace no matter your past, and to let go of self-righteousness in favor of true forgiveness.
If you’ve ever felt like your sins are too great—or your pride too hidden—this episode is for you.
