Just for fun, Jesse and I took the popular Share Your Assumptions About Me Instagram story idea and turned it into a podcast episode. We asked for people to share their assumptions about us and then we chose a number of them to respond/react to.
We addressed assumptions that Jesse gets nervous coming on the podcast, that we never yell or fight, that we don’t have a pet, that we eat a lot of ice cream, that we’re more wild and crazy than we let on, that I wear the pants in the family, that we never curse, that we expect our kids to follow the lifestyle we were brought up in, that we met at a Christian college, and much more!

Keep up the great work with the Podcast. One thing I learned in my own life you can’t control assumptions people have about you. All anyone can do is do what the Lord wants you to do and live a life that works for you and your family.
Yes! So true! And thank you for your encouragement!
Do you ever do transcripts of your podcast episodes for people who can’t listen?
Unfortunately that isn’t a feature we offer! I’m sorry for the inconvenience. -Jordan, MSM Team
That is really unfortunate, disappointing, and not at all the response I expected. I have been a follower of this blog for over a decade, but I have never been able to listen to a full episode of the podcast because I have audio processing issues. I’ve tried a few times when it is something I feel is very important or interesting, but with my recent health issues I just can’t. 🙁
Hi, Jessica! I just happened to see your question here (thanks to Jordan for stepping in for me today when I was at the hospital with a single mama friend all day)… we decided not to have transcripts for the podcast as much of what we share on them is very personal and just wouldn’t clearly be communicated (and could easily be misunderstood!) through the written word. Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a longtime follower here. That means so much!
What a lovely picture of your family!! The kids are growing up!!
God bless, Kathy
