Show Notes
Natalie Layne joins Hannah for this witty, fun, conversation about trusting God and finding joy. Natalie shares what happened when her joy got tested in real time: health problems, a scary season of losing her voice, hospital visits, months of vocal rehab and the new album that came out of that. We also dig into growing up around iconic worship leaders in Colorado, learning how to produce on GarageBand, and what it’s like being on the road, the schedule chaos of touring, and the leap into her...
More from In The Middle Of It
This conversation with Riley Clemmons is a real, grounded reminder about not tying your worth to approval, success, and the highlight reels of other people’s lives, especially as a woman navigating your mid-20s. We talk about the internal pressure of the music industry, the temptation to people please, and the moment Riley realized she had to separate what she does from where she finds joy, value, and purpose. We also talk acne and body image, heartbreak that doesn’t end in a neat bow, and wh...
Welcome to the middle of my kitchen! For this week’s mini, I’m sharing my favorite pumpkin bread recipe to welcome the fall season!

Recipe details are below. See you nex...
Today I sit down with Mike and Kelly Donehey, married for 17 years, to talk about what marriage looks like when real life keeps changing: touring and travel, shifting income, and parenting teenagers.

We also talk love languages, how parenting change...
In this mini episode, I talk about that moment in life when you look up and in front of you is a vast army of problems, pressure, and fear. The most honest thing you can say is, “I don’t know what to do.” Today I’m sharing the Scripture I keep coming back to: 2 Chronicles 20 and King Jehoshaphat’s prayer. We read the passage together and sit a line that has carried me through so many hard seasons: “We do not know what to do, but we look to you.” If you’re leading, parenting, or making a big d...
In this episode, I sit down with Granger Smith to talk about his shift from a long country music career into pastoring, seminary, and a deeper, more costly faith. We dig into his new book, Poison in the Well, which aims at cultural Christianity and nominal faith that feels normal in the Bible Belt and across the United States. He talks about “dog tag Christianity,” a label you inherit or check off because of family, region, or tradition, not because you trust Christ as your only hope in life ...
