What Have You

Summary

Rachel Jankovic and Becca Merkel reflect on a whirlwind of family events and personal challenges in their latest conversation. They recount the recent diagnosis of prostate cancer in Ben, Rachel's husband, and the subsequent whirlwind of family activities, including the premature birth of Leah's baby and the chaotic adjustments that followed. As they navigate these life changes, they emphasize the importance of faith and resilience in the face of adversity.

The discussion also touches on the humorous aspects of their lives, such as managing an overwhelming supply of eggs from their chickens and the antics of their pets. Rachel shares her experiences with family dynamics during stressful times, highlighting the unexpected joys and support that emerge amidst chaos. They conclude with reflections on the significance of grace and the necessity of living faithfully in the present, rather than succumbing to worry about the future.
