00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.120
We do have some history.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.920
Um so were you born in Crawfordville?
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:26.560
Yeah.
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:26.959
Yeah.
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.439
So we grew up in the same town, born and raised.
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:39.359
Um went to the same high school, and I was in Holly's cabin at Twin Lakes Camp where she was a counselor in training.
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:40.640
Is that where your role is?
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:41.599
In high school.
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:42.319
Yes.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.840
And I was nine.
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.480
And she was amazing.
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.319
At Twin Lakes Camp, the place where dreams come true.
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.079
Yeah, we'll talk about that later.
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:57.200
Well, hey, lots of questions for you guys um uh for hopefully for people in our church to get to know you guys um a little bit better.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.719
So some general life questions.
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.120
Maybe first for you, Holly, which you we know some.
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.079
Where you grew up, where you went to school, where who you're married to, if you've got kids, who are they?
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.799
You do have kids.
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:07.840
I know this thing.
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.199
Tell us a little bit about yourselves and then maybe something interesting about you too, Holly, that would be helpful for people in our church to know.
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:14.000
Yeah.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:25.840
Um, I was born and raised in Crawfordsville, and uh so went to Crawfordsville High School and then went to college at Grace College up in Winona Lake.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.960
Um I am married to Ian.
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.960
Uh we just celebrated 12 years of marriage.
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:34.400
12 years of marriage.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.680
Congratulations, which is so crazy.
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.240
Um, that I've pretty much like known him half of my life, which is crazy.
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:43.840
When did you guys start dating?
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.479
Uh I think I was 16.
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:49.599
18.
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.280
No, I don't remember.
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:52.479
It's been a while.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:53.680
It's impressive.
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:55.120
Yes.
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.319
Um, yeah, we have three kiddos, Warren, Ellie, and Jackson.
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:08.719
And something interesting about myself, which I think is also in common with Callie, is that uh we both played lacrosse in college.
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:09.360
Oh my goodness.
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:10.400
I did not know that.
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:12.000
I forgot about this.
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.319
Yes, not at the same time, but we did play against Taylor.
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:17.360
No way.
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:18.319
Yeah.
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:20.240
Wow.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:20.639
Yeah.
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:27.520
I feel like I followed in a lot of your footsteps because like I um you were a swimmer and I swam, at least tried to.
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.520
And did you lifeguard?
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:30.479
I did, yeah.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:31.360
Yeah, lifeguarded.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.080
Yeah.
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:32.400
Okay.
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.000
And then I worked at Twin Lakes Camp.
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.520
Didn't make it as long as you did, but I did try to work there.
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.319
And then uh wow, Christian school lacrosse teens.
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:43.280
Yeah incredible.
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:44.080
Very cool.
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.280
I did not know that.
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:55.599
And we both started out our uh church careers as cleaning the offices after I graduated.
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:56.400
Probably right.
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.479
Yeah, after I graduated college, I think you passed me the keys high school.
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.159
I passed Callie the keys.
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.039
We were the church janitorial legacy.
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:05.840
Wow.
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.479
Very cool.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.159
Well, Callie, tell us about yourself.
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:08.960
Where are you from?
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:09.840
All the questions.
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:10.800
Who you're married to?
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:11.360
Oh man.
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.039
Hottie.
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.680
I uh also grew up in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:16.560
You edit that out.
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:17.279
I don't know.
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.360
Don't edit that out, hope.
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.920
I also grew up in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:28.480
Um, went to Crawfordsville High School and uh then attended Taylor University where I study um English education.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.079
I am married to Joseph Robert House, who's sitting across from me.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.079
Best podcast host in the world.
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.279
You're very kind.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:43.519
Um we have one baby named Luke Thomas House and um, Lord willing, uh baby girl on the way in September.
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:45.519
And we plan to name her Laney.
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.759
So Laney is coming soon.
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:56.240
And um, I don't like the question something interesting about me, because I think this is the least interesting thing ever, but I it was the first thing that popped into my head.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.160
I enjoy sentence diagramming.
00:04:58.399 --> 00:04:58.800
Wow.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:04:59.759
I do it for hobby.
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.240
English teacher through and through.
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:02.959
Yeah.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.639
I one time Greg Wright did catch me doing it during church.
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:07.120
Wow.
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:07.920
And called me out.
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.079
On one of Jeff's sentences, maybe, or I think it was like on the passage or something like that.
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:13.519
But I understood about it.
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.360
I don't even know if I know what that means.
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:21.600
Just like a bunch of lines basically dividing subject, verb, all the prepositions, etc.
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:23.920
Yeah, I'm embarrassed I said that.
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:24.800
No, it's great.
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.040
It was the first thing that popped into my head.
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:27.519
It's great.
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.000
I have tough questions that I asked, so it's great.
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.199
Um, Holly Callie, tell us a little bit, maybe Holly, first.
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.759
Uh, how did you become a Christian?
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:36.720
Yeah.
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:43.600
Um, we my family grew up uh going to church a lot on Easter and Christmas.
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:58.240
Um, but I think when my parents became Christians, we just we really started um attending regularly um with the Stuart family, which uh another random connection I have is I grew up across the street from Grace Mangold.
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.240
Yes, who was previously Stuart.
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:00.720
Yes.
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.079
Before she met Dylan.
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:03.120
Yes.
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.639
Um and so we attended church with them.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:16.319
Um and I knew I think I always believed that there was a God, um, but really started to take my faith seriously in middle school.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:23.839
Um, and really we were really plugged into church at that point, um, and just grew from there.
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:25.199
Praise the Lord.
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:25.920
Thanks, Holly.
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:26.319
Yep.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:27.759
Callie, a little bit for you?
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.120
Yeah, similarly, grew up in a mostly Christian home.
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:41.680
Uh, I think my parents became really serious about their faith when I was in elementary school, and um they faithfully started bringing us to a gospel preaching church um called Pleasant View at the time.
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.279
Uh, Holly was there.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.879
And it is now called uh Rock Point Church.
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:54.800
Um, and I really just remember a shift in our home of them discipling us and truly raising us in the um training and instruction of the Lord.
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:03.920
Um, I really do believe God used the gospel preaching of that church as well as my parents' faithful discipleship to help me understand my sin and God's grace.
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:14.560
And uh yeah, I think God saved me uh probably sometime around fifth grade, and then similarly really um started diving in through um probably throughout middle school.
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.680
Oh, praise Lord.
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:16.399
Thanks, Callie.
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.199
And Callie and Hall, you guys work for the Fields Church.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:20.800
What a what a great place to work.
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.720
How long have you worked for the fields for?
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.000
What what are your titles and like what do you do?
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:37.439
I think I'm like, I have we I think people listening might be like, I know they do stuff, but what is what are the things that like when I'm like what things of Holly does, what things of Kylie do I think may be helpful for people to know?
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:38.800
Holly does everything.
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:40.240
Yeah, Holly does everything.
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.079
But people need to know this.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.759
Um I have been with the field since the very beginning.
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.079
Um and so technically I am the admin.
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.240
Um, but that involves like events.
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:55.439
Is the admin your title?
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:56.480
Admin.
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:57.279
Admin.
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.920
Admin director, director of admin, just admin.
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.600
Just admin, I think.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:11.759
Um but I do a lot of like event planning for like our anniversary Sunday, the picnic, uh, harvest party, that kind of stuff.
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:25.120
Um a lot of behind the scenes things, like the bulletin and directory, making those and printing them, ordering supplies and books for the book table.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:36.639
Um I do a lot of the like graphic design for the um any graphics and like sermon slides.
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:44.480
Um shout out to Julia Snyder for the awesome artwork that I got to work with for this new upcoming series.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.559
Just super exciting.
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.919
Um, and then I also just do whatever Jeff tells me to do.
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.000
That's what I say my job is most of it.
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:52.559
Yeah.
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:54.240
Yes.
00:08:54.639 --> 00:09:04.000
Which is all sorts of like uh um all sorts of things that you like uh like I think so when we are holding our bulletins on Sunday, Holly has done so much work to put all of those together.
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.279
We're just like, oh, there's probably some sort of system that makes all these bulletins.
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:08.559
That is Holly who does that.
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.080
Holly is the system.
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.840
Um and I'm sure we can't even we can't even totally grasp all the things that you do do, Holly.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.840
So thank you for for that.
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:18.480
Thank you.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.080
Callie, what do you do?
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.120
I mostly post what Holly sends me.
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.919
Um so yeah, really, she does run this ship.
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.559
But um I'm that communications director.
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.039
Um, I've been on for just over a year now.
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.039
And um, but funny enough, I was doing some of this stuff like at the very beginning of the fields as well.
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.360
Um, just you know, kind of helping get the social media started and things like that.
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:49.840
But I do much of the written communication, so that would include the weekly email, um, social media, maybe far too many Slack posts.
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.679
Um, the Slack posts are great.
00:09:52.320 --> 00:10:02.960
Um but yeah, really thankfully Holly is so gifted graphically that she sends a lot of stuff over and other people in our church as well who've used their artistic abilities to create graphics and things like that.
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.639
That just gives me easy opportunities to post things.
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:12.639
And um we have an amazing content capture team that I um assign roles and they take great pictures.
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:14.159
What is content capture?
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:30.000
They capture the content of our church, so really just they take pictures on Sunday mornings of our um of our gatherings and of people mingling and things like that, so that really the social media world can see that a church can function in an elementary school.
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:30.960
Yeah.
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:31.919
Very cool.
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:37.039
All of the things I see, I see more of what you do than Holly does because we live together.
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:37.840
We do.
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.919
What is the Holly Callie?
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.799
What's the best part about working for the Fields Church in your eyes?
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:45.840
Maybe Callie first.
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.120
Holly's going first on all of these things.
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.080
Sorry, Holly.
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.320
Um, I yeah, I do think I love, I really do love coming to the staff meetings.
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.799
Um, they're once a week on Wednesdays, and it is just kind of a fun social outing.
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.840
Um, I'm an extroverted staff meeting is just a fun social outing.
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.480
Oh, I see.
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.960
We're not doing any work around there.
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.840
No, but it's just, you know, I'm an extroverted stay-at-home mom.
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.279
So it's a great opportunity built-in to hang out with friends.
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.519
And we do, no, we laugh hard.
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.039
Um, we usually like go through a book and have rich conversations about that.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:30.480
And then what I love about it, honestly, is as we're planning our gatherings and our events and our, you know, next sermon series and things like that, it's so cool to watch the gospel permeate every decision that we make, uh, not just on Sunday mornings, but like every moment in between.
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:35.519
And cool to see just how intentional and Christ-centered our staff is.
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:40.159
Um, and and to watch that like flow through the rest of the church, I think is really sweet.
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:44.159
Also, I'm just always in awe of how hard our staff works.
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:52.240
I definitely work the least hard out of everyone, and I just am blown away by the work that you put in, the planning, the yeah, the intentionality that goes.
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.480
Just to be clear, Callie works really hard, everyone.
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.639
I I she's you're you're just very kind.
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.200
Like I said, people send a lot of stuff to me that I post.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:07.759
But yeah, it's such a joy to work with these faithful brothers and sisters, and yeah, then just to have them be friends as well.
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:09.200
That's great.
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.639
Holly, what is the best part about working for the fields for you?
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.480
Well, my answer is much shorter, but also similar.
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.879
Um, that it's just really fun working with friends.
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:24.240
Um, getting to do life together, um, but then also working together.
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:34.080
Um, I think it's really fun getting we try and get together at least once a month-ish uh with our families just so we can uh still be friends but not be working.
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:34.559
Yeah.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.679
Um yeah.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:42.799
These are for our like yeah, staff nights that we try to do to have just um culture amongst our staff of uh community even here too.
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:44.159
So um it's great.
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:45.840
Uh let me think about this for you guys.
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:55.039
Callie Hawley, when you guys were in, let's say, high school, did you guys think that you would be working for a church later on in life?
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.000
Has this been the plan?
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.600
Or has this been something that's just the Lord has done that you didn't really expect?
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:03.919
How yeah, so what what what led for you to be working for the church?
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.080
A church, our church.
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:16.159
Um, I think in high school I was on the like I want to be a teacher route.
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.120
Um another similarity.
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.120
Yes, it's true.
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.879
Um, but I wanted to do elementary education, which I don't think you wanted to do.
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:25.759
Absolutely not.
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:26.960
Oh, elementary edge.
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.720
These people are heroes.
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.559
Um so yeah, so I did cadet teaching.
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:37.360
Actually, I think your sister was in my class that I was a cadet teacher for when she was in kindergarten.
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.120
She probably cried every day.
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.679
Yeah.
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.279
I think this tour.
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.480
Kristen, you're great.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:53.279
Um, but yeah, I think in college, I think I think God just tried to or didn't try.
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.080
He did uh just transform some stuff in my heart.
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:05.519
Um so switched from an elementary education major to educational ministries um as a major when that uh started up at Grace.
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:30.080
And so I think I just started out in family ministries for several years in several different roles um in preschool and uh being a like family ministry assistant director and then to a director role eventually, um, and then helped to get that up and running when we started at the fields before we hired the lovely Haley Filbert.
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:32.320
Um so we passed that off to her.
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.000
Um but yeah, then just sticking more to the admin side now.
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:37.519
But it's super fun.
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.679
Very cool, very cool.
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:40.879
Callie, how about you?
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.240
What's what has the route been?
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.879
What did you think you'd be working for a church?
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.799
Married to someone working for a church?
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:47.679
Certainly not.
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:48.559
I'm just kidding.
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.399
Well, not well, you said in high school.
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:53.759
In high school, I thought I'd be married to someone in the MLB, so I wasn't gonna have to work.
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:54.960
Sorry about that.
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:57.200
I'm just kidding.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:58.480
You still could.
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.799
Um high school, probably not.
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.879
I also was um really passionate about being a teacher and excited to pursue that.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:24.960
Um so I went to Taylor to study English education, and then crazy enough, somehow, like in my registration, I accidentally got registered under Educational Ministries, um, which was basically like a ministry route, like um almost like yeah, the path to full-time ministry.
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:30.080
So I sit down in one of my first classes that's called Christian Ministry, and I'm like, I'm not supposed to be here.
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:40.000
Um but I stayed in the class and ended up just learning so much about the local church and discipleship and even like inductive Bible study, and it was really impactful.
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.200
Maybe even, yeah, one of the most impactful classes I took.
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:51.279
Um, but I did continue to, I did eventually, you know, do the major change and got to my real major, which was secondary English education.
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.200
So taught the high schoolers.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:54.399
That's what I loved.
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:01.279
And yeah, I uh with obviously being an education major, that's not like there's not like a lot of internships or things.
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:06.159
So I tried, I tried Holly, I tried the summer camper out and I just couldn't do it.
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.720
I just I just was dying there.
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:15.759
I think I know a couple of stories about the summer camp counselor, camp counselor Callie that maybe need to be shared on the air.
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.480
I mean, I think the most notable one is one of my campers.
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:25.120
Um, we were fishing, and my camper like accidentally hooked a fish through the eye, and it was disgusting.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.960
And she was crying, and I was crying, and it was the most gross thing I've ever seen.
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:41.120
So I just told all the girls to look away, and I threw the entire fishing rod into the lake, and the fish swam away, dragging a whole fishing pole from the heart in its eye.
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:42.399
In its eye.
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:43.120
Yeah.
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.679
And yeah, it was it was horrible.
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:46.639
And that was just one.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.240
Fun times at Twin Lakes camps with Twin Lakes is amazing.
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.519
I can't say enough good things about the camp.
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.039
I am not cut out for such a life.
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.639
I like slow mornings, I like um, yeah, warm showers, yeah.
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:03.919
Free time.
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.240
Not having 12 children at the same time.
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:06.799
Right.
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:07.920
I think that's a perk.
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:08.240
Yeah.
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.359
So probably life is not for you, yeah.
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:12.079
Kids.
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:12.960
I do love kids.
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:13.359
Yep.
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:13.759
Yeah.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:24.160
I love, yeah, really love working with students and discipleship and things like that, but I liked it uh more like in a small group context or like in a church setting, uh youth group setting.
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:29.440
And so um, thankfully, a guy at my um previous church, Rock Point, uh, his name was Jeff Strickland.
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.839
He actually I have not heard of this guy.
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:32.960
I don't know where he's now.
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.319
I think he wrote a book though.
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:42.319
He um basically yeah said, why don't you come on as a student ministries intern?
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:46.240
Um and we can just This is your sophomore year of college?
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:49.759
This is after my uh after my sophomore year, I think.
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:50.160
Yeah.
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:50.559
Mm-hmm.
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:51.039
Yep.
00:17:51.119 --> 00:18:03.119
And so then, yeah, I actually came on for two summers at Rock Point and interned there and did a lot of stuff with student ministries and just learned more of the ropes of discipleship and how a local church functions and things like that.
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.920
And um I'm a pastor's kid, so I also got to work there with my dad, which is fun.
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:09.039
The PKs are the worst.
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:09.680
Me and Holly.
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.240
We are not the worst.
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.039
Carson Knox backed me up on this one.
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:31.519
Um no, but Holly was also working there, and it was just such a sweet opportunity uh where I really grew to love the local church, and so yeah, then the Lord allowed doors to open where once our son was born, I decided to step away from teaching and have been working for the fields ever since.
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.279
Very cool, which has been now a year, a year?
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:36.960
Like a year and a couple months, yeah.
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:38.480
Started in March, I think.
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.279
Very cool.
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.400
In some ways, it's been so fast, in some ways, an eternity as well.
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.200
Well, so sweet.
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:46.000
I'm so thankful.
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:47.839
Both of you guys work for the fields.
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:57.599
Uh, a couple of just fun random questions for us for listening, somewhat uh, somewhat faster ones, but just to get you know, just to get a flavor for who are who are Holly, who are Callie?
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:01.680
What is, Holly, the best restaurant in Westfield?
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.160
Um in the greater Westfield area.
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.680
Yes, this one is in Westfield.
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:08.000
Um we love Los Agaves.
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.200
Love a good meal.
00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:09.680
Taco.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:11.200
It's great.
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.440
Well, I don't order tacos there, but what is the order at Los Agaves?
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:21.359
Uh I feel like I switch it up either fajitas or um a Rose Con pollo.
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:22.079
Yeah.
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.559
You just don't need to mess around with anything else.
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:24.880
Yep.
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.079
Callie, how about you?
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:28.000
Best restaurant in the greater Westfield area.
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:29.519
Los Agaves is up there.
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:34.240
I think there's a sentimental aspect I have, uh a sentimental connection to uh the Italian house.
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:37.359
Old cousin Italian, yeah.
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.319
I actually am Italian.
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:40.480
I'm like an I'm an eighth Italian, I think.
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.160
So I kind of am an Italian house.
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:42.880
Yeah.
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:45.119
Yeah.
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.160
Eighth Italian.
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.160
Italian house, super good.
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:48.960
Super good.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:54.960
Uh, Callie Holly, favorite song we sing at the fields, if you can think of one.
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.119
Yeah, I'm gonna go Come Thou Fount.
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.640
Come thou fount.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.240
We also sang Come Thou Found at our wedding.
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:01.839
That's yeah, that's part of it too.
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:02.079
Yeah.
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:02.720
Nice.
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.920
Um, honestly, I struggle to pick one, but I do love it as well with my soul, which we sang this past tonight.
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:08.400
Oh, we did.
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:08.799
Oh, yeah.
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:09.920
So good.
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:11.200
I've always loved that song.
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:11.759
But yeah.
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:12.799
Great songs.
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.480
Favorite dessert?
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:21.359
Uh definitely chocolate-covered strawberries or Reese's of any.
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.200
It's great.
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.480
I think I'm also gonna say chocolate-covered strawberries just to stick it to Joe.
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:27.839
He doesn't like them.
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:28.400
You don't.
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.519
They are a little bit messy.
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.640
To clear the air, everyone, do I like chocolate-covered strawberries?
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:38.799
I do, but I think I would rather like just strawberries by themselves and just chocolate by themselves.
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:43.200
I also have kind of sensitive teeth too, so it's like when I buy if they're kind of cold, it's all they're always kind of cold.
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:45.519
And I buy it into them, it's like, ah, they're gonna hurt a little bit.
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.160
Chocolate-covered strawberries.
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:48.559
Wow.
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:49.759
And Reese's for Holly.
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:50.640
Anything else for you, Callie?
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.599
Just chocolate-covered cookies.
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.160
Ah, chocolate chip cookies is also high on the list, yeah.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:54.880
Mm-hmm.
00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:02.480
Uh, question if you had to live in another state that's not Indiana, what state would it be?
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.480
Holly Line, how about you?
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:14.640
Um, I also I'm just I'm just a very indecisive person and cannot choose another state, but I would say right now, just somewhere that is not this humid.
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:19.440
A dry uh perhaps a drier place, the desert.
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.240
Yeah.
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.839
I don't know if I would love to live just as hot there in Arizona.
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:30.480
I don't know if I'd love to live in California, but also it's like 75 and sunny, yeah, and I don't think super humid.
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:31.920
So that just sounds very appealing.
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.279
That'd be nice.
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:33.920
Yeah.
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:34.799
I don't know.
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:37.039
Callie, how about you?
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.240
Alaska, perhaps?
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.519
Probably not Alaska.
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:43.599
Um, I I would probably go somewhere where it's never winter.
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:44.799
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:49.839
We talk in Florida, we talk in Alabama, Hawaii, Arizona, Texas.
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.400
You could see like a South Carolina in a fun experience.
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:54.799
Summers are hot, but I I can handle the heat.
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:55.279
I like the heat.
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:57.359
Unless you're pregnant, though.
00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:59.039
Yeah, it's been less fun this summer.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.039
Fun fact about Cali is well, yeah, it's been different with you being pregnant.
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.799
You're like more of a normal person.
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:13.119
When yeah, I there's a point in time I realized, oh my goodness, Cali just loves to be if to be like over 95 degrees outside.
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.279
And I am like just cannot hang.
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:16.400
I just can't do it.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.400
It's oh I do not like to be cold.
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:19.759
I do not like to shiver.
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:20.880
That hot though.
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.079
You need access to a pool.
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:22.640
True.
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:23.200
Yeah.
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:24.480
Two more questions.
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.440
Holly Callie, favorite book of the Bible.
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:30.960
I also couldn't choose on this one.
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:31.519
It's good.
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:32.960
Um, they're all they're all great.
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:41.359
But I've been going through psalms um just prepping for the TGC conference, and it's just been sweet um to read through.
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:43.359
So that's sweet for right now.
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.400
I will say psalms.
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:45.039
Good stuff.
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.039
I've given different answers to this question as many times.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.599
Callie's favorite book of the Bible at this point in time.
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.559
This fine, it's been pretty consistently for several years now.
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:54.480
I uh I just love Philippines.
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:55.440
I really do.
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.640
That's great.
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:06.880
And then last question for us here uh if you have either like a life verse or a favorite verse uh from the Bible um that especially stands out to you, what would that be?
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:17.680
Um, I think just in the season since becoming a mom, I have just really loved Isaiah 40, 11, uh that says he tends his flock like a shepherd.
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.599
He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart.
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:24.480
He gently leads those that have young.
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:34.319
Um, and I just love that reminder that uh like Jesus specifically is gentle with those that are moms.
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.960
Um, and I need that reminder often.
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.039
Um, but he's gently leading us and we're always close.
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:47.839
Um yeah, sweet, super sweet in this season of kiddos, which can be crazy.
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:48.799
Also, yes.
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.920
We're just finding this out ourselves.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:53.440
There can be some craziness.
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:54.880
Oh, yes.
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:56.880
We need some calm, we need some gentleness.
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.279
Yeah.
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:58.079
That's great.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.519
Callie, how about for you?
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:01.920
I'm gonna have to go with Psalm 121.
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:11.200
Um I yeah, it's just carried me through a lot of difficult seasons, and I love the idea that the Lord does not sleep or slumber, and so he's always watching us.
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:21.759
And it's been a sweet prayer to pray over Luke, like when we lay him down, especially like in the early days when we were so anxious to, you know, put him in his crib and try to fall asleep, like knowing that the Lord doesn't sleep.
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:23.920
And um, I just love the final two verses.
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:30.720
The Lord will protect you from all harm, he will protect your life, the Lord will protect your coming and going, both now and forever.
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.359
It just doesn't get much more all-encompassing than that.
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.440
So amen.
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:40.079
Well, Callie Holly, thanks, guys, for your time, even just us to get to know you better.
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.160
Hope for it um for all you listening.
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.319
That uh helps you to know Callie Holly better.
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:53.759
That um, if you don't know them, if you're a member of our church, if you are listening or digging into our church and you have not met Callie and Holly, you need to that on a Sunday say hi to them and uh get to know them.
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:57.519
And I just want to thank you guys for all the work that you do for our church.
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:01.599
Um, and uh I think especially for you guys, a lot of that work goes unseen.
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:03.119
That sometimes there's people who do.
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:04.960
I get to just be up in front of people all the time.
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.640
Like people see people see work that I do, but you guys often don't get to.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:20.640
So um, yeah, those listening, be sure to thank Callie Holly too for um yeah, the tireless, tireless work that you guys do um to serve us, to serve our church, but really you guys are serving Christ in doing that.
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:22.640
So press on in that button.
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.319
Thanks, you guys, and we are signing off for Fields Notes.
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:22.000
Welcome to this week's episode of Fields Notes, where we take a deeper dive into sermon text, discuss matters of life and faith, and enjoy conversations around the table with fellow friends from the Fields.
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.600

We're doing a summer series on our podcast of a uh a Fields memberslash staff spotlight where we are interviewing, sitting down across the table uh with uh members of our staff here at the Fields.
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:57.280
And so probably in the title of this podcast, you will see that I am with Callie House and Holly Line to members of our church who serve on the staff of our church, and we are uh hopefully just gonna get to know them a little bit better today.
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.799
That'll be hopefully a fun time for us and encouragement to you guys, maybe encouragement to listeners out there as well.
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.799
So Holly and Callie, thanks for thanks for being here today.

Thanks, Joe.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:10.959
Uh well hey, lots of questions for you guys.
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:21.280
First, I understand you guys have you you guys are not unfamiliar with one another for tell us before the real questions, what what what what is your how have you guys' lives intertwined for life?
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.120
We do have some history.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.920
Um so were you born in Crawfordville?
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:26.560
Yeah.
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:26.959
Yeah.
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.439
So we grew up in the same town, born and raised.
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:39.359
Um went to the same high school, and I was in Holly's cabin at Twin Lakes Camp where she was a counselor in training.
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:40.640
Is that where your role is?
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:41.599
In high school.
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:42.319
Yes.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.840
And I was nine.
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.480
And she was amazing.
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.319
At Twin Lakes Camp, the place where dreams come true.
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.079
Yeah, we'll talk about that later.
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:57.200
Well, hey, lots of questions for you guys um uh for hopefully for people in our church to get to know you guys um a little bit better.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.719
So some general life questions.
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.120
Maybe first for you, Holly, which you we know some.
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.079
Where you grew up, where you went to school, where who you're married to, if you've got kids, who are they?
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.799
You do have kids.
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:07.840
I know this thing.
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:13.199
Tell us a little bit about yourselves and then maybe something interesting about you too, Holly, that would be helpful for people in our church to know.
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:14.000
Yeah.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:25.840
Um, I was born and raised in Crawfordsville, and uh so went to Crawfordsville High School and then went to college at Grace College up in Winona Lake.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.960
Um I am married to Ian.
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.960
Uh we just celebrated 12 years of marriage.
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:34.400
12 years of marriage.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.680
Congratulations, which is so crazy.
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.240
Um, that I've pretty much like known him half of my life, which is crazy.
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:43.840
When did you guys start dating?
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.479
Uh I think I was 16.
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:49.599
18.
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.280
No, I don't remember.
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:52.479
It's been a while.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:53.680
It's impressive.
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:55.120
Yes.
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.319
Um, yeah, we have three kiddos, Warren, Ellie, and Jackson.
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:08.719
And something interesting about myself, which I think is also in common with Callie, is that uh we both played lacrosse in college.
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:09.360
Oh my goodness.
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:10.400
I did not know that.
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:12.000
I forgot about this.
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.319
Yes, not at the same time, but we did play against Taylor.
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:17.360
No way.
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:18.319
Yeah.
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:20.240
Wow.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:20.639
Yeah.
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:27.520
I feel like I followed in a lot of your footsteps because like I um you were a swimmer and I swam, at least tried to.
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.520
And did you lifeguard?
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:30.479
I did, yeah.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:31.360
Yeah, lifeguarded.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.080
Yeah.
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:32.400
Okay.
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.000
And then I worked at Twin Lakes Camp.
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.520
Didn't make it as long as you did, but I did try to work there.
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.319
And then uh wow, Christian school lacrosse teens.
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:43.280
Yeah incredible.
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:44.080
Very cool.
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.280
I did not know that.
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:55.599
And we both started out our uh church careers as cleaning the offices after I graduated.
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:56.400
Probably right.
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.479
Yeah, after I graduated college, I think you passed me the keys high school.
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.159
I passed Callie the keys.
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.039
We were the church janitorial legacy.
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:05.840
Wow.
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.479
Very cool.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.159
Well, Callie, tell us about yourself.
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:08.960
Where are you from?
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:09.840
All the questions.
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:10.800
Who you're married to?
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:11.360
Oh man.
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.039
Hottie.
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.680
I uh also grew up in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:16.560
You edit that out.
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:17.279
I don't know.
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.360
Don't edit that out, hope.
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.920
I also grew up in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:28.480
Um, went to Crawfordsville High School and uh then attended Taylor University where I study um English education.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.079
I am married to Joseph Robert House, who's sitting across from me.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.079
Best podcast host in the world.
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.279
You're very kind.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:43.519
Um we have one baby named Luke Thomas House and um, Lord willing, uh baby girl on the way in September.
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:45.519
And we plan to name her Laney.
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.759
So Laney is coming soon.
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:56.240
And um, I don't like the question something interesting about me, because I think this is the least interesting thing ever, but I it was the first thing that popped into my head.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.160
I enjoy sentence diagramming.
00:04:58.399 --> 00:04:58.800
Wow.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:04:59.759
I do it for hobby.
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.240
English teacher through and through.
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:02.959
Yeah.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.639
I one time Greg Wright did catch me doing it during church.
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:07.120
Wow.
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:07.920
And called me out.
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.079
On one of Jeff's sentences, maybe, or I think it was like on the passage or something like that.
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:13.519
But I understood about it.
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.360
I don't even know if I know what that means.
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:21.600
Just like a bunch of lines basically dividing subject, verb, all the prepositions, etc.
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:23.920
Yeah, I'm embarrassed I said that.
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:24.800
No, it's great.
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.040
It was the first thing that popped into my head.
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:27.519
It's great.
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.000
I have tough questions that I asked, so it's great.
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.199
Um, Holly Callie, tell us a little bit, maybe Holly, first.
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.759
Uh, how did you become a Christian?
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:36.720
Yeah.
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:43.600
Um, we my family grew up uh going to church a lot on Easter and Christmas.
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:58.240
Um, but I think when my parents became Christians, we just we really started um attending regularly um with the Stuart family, which uh another random connection I have is I grew up across the street from Grace Mangold.
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.240
Yes, who was previously Stuart.
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:00.720
Yes.
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.079
Before she met Dylan.
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:03.120
Yes.
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.639
Um and so we attended church with them.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:16.319
Um and I knew I think I always believed that there was a God, um, but really started to take my faith seriously in middle school.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:23.839
Um, and really we were really plugged into church at that point, um, and just grew from there.
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:25.199
Praise the Lord.
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:25.920
Thanks, Holly.
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:26.319
Yep.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:27.759
Callie, a little bit for you?
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.120
Yeah, similarly, grew up in a mostly Christian home.
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:41.680
Uh, I think my parents became really serious about their faith when I was in elementary school, and um they faithfully started bringing us to a gospel preaching church um called Pleasant View at the time.
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.279
Uh, Holly was there.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.879
And it is now called uh Rock Point Church.
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:54.800
Um, and I really just remember a shift in our home of them discipling us and truly raising us in the um training and instruction of the Lord.
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:03.920
Um, I really do believe God used the gospel preaching of that church as well as my parents' faithful discipleship to help me understand my sin and God's grace.
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:14.560
And uh yeah, I think God saved me uh probably sometime around fifth grade, and then similarly really um started diving in through um probably throughout middle school.
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.680
Oh, praise Lord.
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:16.399
Thanks, Callie.
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.199
And Callie and Hall, you guys work for the Fields Church.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:20.800
What a what a great place to work.
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.720
How long have you worked for the fields for?
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.000
What what are your titles and like what do you do?
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:37.439
I think I'm like, I have we I think people listening might be like, I know they do stuff, but what is what are the things that like when I'm like what things of Holly does, what things of Kylie do I think may be helpful for people to know?
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:38.800
Holly does everything.
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:40.240
Yeah, Holly does everything.
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.079
But people need to know this.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.759
Um I have been with the field since the very beginning.
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.079
Um and so technically I am the admin.
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.240
Um, but that involves like events.
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:55.439
Is the admin your title?
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:56.480
Admin.
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:57.279
Admin.
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.920
Admin director, director of admin, just admin.
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.600
Just admin, I think.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:11.759
Um but I do a lot of like event planning for like our anniversary Sunday, the picnic, uh, harvest party, that kind of stuff.
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:25.120
Um a lot of behind the scenes things, like the bulletin and directory, making those and printing them, ordering supplies and books for the book table.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:36.639
Um I do a lot of the like graphic design for the um any graphics and like sermon slides.
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:44.480
Um shout out to Julia Snyder for the awesome artwork that I got to work with for this new upcoming series.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.559
Just super exciting.
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.919
Um, and then I also just do whatever Jeff tells me to do.
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.000
That's what I say my job is most of it.
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:52.559
Yeah.
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:54.240
Yes.
00:08:54.639 --> 00:09:04.000
Which is all sorts of like uh um all sorts of things that you like uh like I think so when we are holding our bulletins on Sunday, Holly has done so much work to put all of those together.
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.279
We're just like, oh, there's probably some sort of system that makes all these bulletins.
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:08.559
That is Holly who does that.
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.080
Holly is the system.
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.840
Um and I'm sure we can't even we can't even totally grasp all the things that you do do, Holly.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.840
So thank you for for that.
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:18.480
Thank you.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.080
Callie, what do you do?
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.120
I mostly post what Holly sends me.
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.919
Um so yeah, really, she does run this ship.
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.559
But um I'm that communications director.
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.039
Um, I've been on for just over a year now.
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.039
And um, but funny enough, I was doing some of this stuff like at the very beginning of the fields as well.
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.360
Um, just you know, kind of helping get the social media started and things like that.
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:49.840
But I do much of the written communication, so that would include the weekly email, um, social media, maybe far too many Slack posts.
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.679
Um, the Slack posts are great.
00:09:52.320 --> 00:10:02.960
Um but yeah, really thankfully Holly is so gifted graphically that she sends a lot of stuff over and other people in our church as well who've used their artistic abilities to create graphics and things like that.
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.639
That just gives me easy opportunities to post things.
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:12.639
And um we have an amazing content capture team that I um assign roles and they take great pictures.
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:14.159
What is content capture?
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:30.000
They capture the content of our church, so really just they take pictures on Sunday mornings of our um of our gatherings and of people mingling and things like that, so that really the social media world can see that a church can function in an elementary school.
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:30.960
Yeah.
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:31.919
Very cool.
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:37.039
All of the things I see, I see more of what you do than Holly does because we live together.
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:37.840
We do.
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.919
What is the Holly Callie?
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.799
What's the best part about working for the Fields Church in your eyes?
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:45.840
Maybe Callie first.
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.120
Holly's going first on all of these things.
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.080
Sorry, Holly.
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.320
Um, I yeah, I do think I love, I really do love coming to the staff meetings.
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.799
Um, they're once a week on Wednesdays, and it is just kind of a fun social outing.
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.840
Um, I'm an extroverted staff meeting is just a fun social outing.
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.480
Oh, I see.
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.960
We're not doing any work around there.
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.840
No, but it's just, you know, I'm an extroverted stay-at-home mom.
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.279
So it's a great opportunity built-in to hang out with friends.
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.519
And we do, no, we laugh hard.
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.039
Um, we usually like go through a book and have rich conversations about that.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:30.480
And then what I love about it, honestly, is as we're planning our gatherings and our events and our, you know, next sermon series and things like that, it's so cool to watch the gospel permeate every decision that we make, uh, not just on Sunday mornings, but like every moment in between.
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:35.519
And cool to see just how intentional and Christ-centered our staff is.
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:40.159
Um, and and to watch that like flow through the rest of the church, I think is really sweet.
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:44.159
Also, I'm just always in awe of how hard our staff works.
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:52.240
I definitely work the least hard out of everyone, and I just am blown away by the work that you put in, the planning, the yeah, the intentionality that goes.
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.480
Just to be clear, Callie works really hard, everyone.
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.639
I I she's you're you're just very kind.
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.200
Like I said, people send a lot of stuff to me that I post.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:07.759
But yeah, it's such a joy to work with these faithful brothers and sisters, and yeah, then just to have them be friends as well.
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:09.200
That's great.
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.639
Holly, what is the best part about working for the fields for you?
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.480
Well, my answer is much shorter, but also similar.
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.879
Um, that it's just really fun working with friends.
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:24.240
Um, getting to do life together, um, but then also working together.
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:34.080
Um, I think it's really fun getting we try and get together at least once a month-ish uh with our families just so we can uh still be friends but not be working.
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:34.559
Yeah.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.679
Um yeah.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:42.799
These are for our like yeah, staff nights that we try to do to have just um culture amongst our staff of uh community even here too.
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:44.159
So um it's great.
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:45.840
Uh let me think about this for you guys.
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:55.039
Callie Hawley, when you guys were in, let's say, high school, did you guys think that you would be working for a church later on in life?
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.000
Has this been the plan?
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.600
Or has this been something that's just the Lord has done that you didn't really expect?
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:03.919
How yeah, so what what what led for you to be working for the church?
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.080
A church, our church.
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:16.159
Um, I think in high school I was on the like I want to be a teacher route.
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.120
Um another similarity.
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.120
Yes, it's true.
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.879
Um, but I wanted to do elementary education, which I don't think you wanted to do.
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:25.759
Absolutely not.
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:26.960
Oh, elementary edge.
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.720
These people are heroes.
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.559
Um so yeah, so I did cadet teaching.
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:37.360
Actually, I think your sister was in my class that I was a cadet teacher for when she was in kindergarten.
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.120
She probably cried every day.
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.679
Yeah.
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.279
I think this tour.
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.480
Kristen, you're great.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:53.279
Um, but yeah, I think in college, I think I think God just tried to or didn't try.
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.080
He did uh just transform some stuff in my heart.
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:05.519
Um so switched from an elementary education major to educational ministries um as a major when that uh started up at Grace.
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:30.080
And so I think I just started out in family ministries for several years in several different roles um in preschool and uh being a like family ministry assistant director and then to a director role eventually, um, and then helped to get that up and running when we started at the fields before we hired the lovely Haley Filbert.
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:32.320
Um so we passed that off to her.
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:36.000
Um but yeah, then just sticking more to the admin side now.
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:37.519
But it's super fun.
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.679
Very cool, very cool.
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:40.879
Callie, how about you?
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.240
What's what has the route been?
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.879
What did you think you'd be working for a church?
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.799
Married to someone working for a church?
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:47.679
Certainly not.
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:48.559
I'm just kidding.
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.399
Well, not well, you said in high school.
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:53.759
In high school, I thought I'd be married to someone in the MLB, so I wasn't gonna have to work.
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:54.960
Sorry about that.
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:57.200
I'm just kidding.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:58.480
You still could.
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.799
Um high school, probably not.
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.879
I also was um really passionate about being a teacher and excited to pursue that.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:24.960
Um so I went to Taylor to study English education, and then crazy enough, somehow, like in my registration, I accidentally got registered under Educational Ministries, um, which was basically like a ministry route, like um almost like yeah, the path to full-time ministry.
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:30.080
So I sit down in one of my first classes that's called Christian Ministry, and I'm like, I'm not supposed to be here.
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:40.000
Um but I stayed in the class and ended up just learning so much about the local church and discipleship and even like inductive Bible study, and it was really impactful.
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.200
Maybe even, yeah, one of the most impactful classes I took.
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:51.279
Um, but I did continue to, I did eventually, you know, do the major change and got to my real major, which was secondary English education.
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.200
So taught the high schoolers.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:54.399
That's what I loved.
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:01.279
And yeah, I uh with obviously being an education major, that's not like there's not like a lot of internships or things.
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:06.159
So I tried, I tried Holly, I tried the summer camper out and I just couldn't do it.
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.720
I just I just was dying there.
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:15.759
I think I know a couple of stories about the summer camp counselor, camp counselor Callie that maybe need to be shared on the air.
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.480
I mean, I think the most notable one is one of my campers.
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:25.120
Um, we were fishing, and my camper like accidentally hooked a fish through the eye, and it was disgusting.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.960
And she was crying, and I was crying, and it was the most gross thing I've ever seen.
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:41.120
So I just told all the girls to look away, and I threw the entire fishing rod into the lake, and the fish swam away, dragging a whole fishing pole from the heart in its eye.
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:42.399
In its eye.
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:43.120
Yeah.
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.679
And yeah, it was it was horrible.
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:46.639
And that was just one.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.240
Fun times at Twin Lakes camps with Twin Lakes is amazing.
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.519
I can't say enough good things about the camp.
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.039
I am not cut out for such a life.
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.639
I like slow mornings, I like um, yeah, warm showers, yeah.
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:03.919
Free time.
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.240
Not having 12 children at the same time.
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:06.799
Right.
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:07.920
I think that's a perk.
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:08.240
Yeah.
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.359
So probably life is not for you, yeah.
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:12.079
Kids.
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:12.960
I do love kids.
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:13.359
Yep.
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:13.759
Yeah.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:24.160
I love, yeah, really love working with students and discipleship and things like that, but I liked it uh more like in a small group context or like in a church setting, uh youth group setting.
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:29.440
And so um, thankfully, a guy at my um previous church, Rock Point, uh, his name was Jeff Strickland.
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.839
He actually I have not heard of this guy.
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:32.960
I don't know where he's now.
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.319
I think he wrote a book though.
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:42.319
He um basically yeah said, why don't you come on as a student ministries intern?
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:46.240
Um and we can just This is your sophomore year of college?
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:49.759
This is after my uh after my sophomore year, I think.
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:50.160
Yeah.
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:50.559
Mm-hmm.
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:51.039
Yep.
00:17:51.119 --> 00:18:03.119
And so then, yeah, I actually came on for two summers at Rock Point and interned there and did a lot of stuff with student ministries and just learned more of the ropes of discipleship and how a local church functions and things like that.
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.920
And um I'm a pastor's kid, so I also got to work there with my dad, which is fun.
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:09.039
The PKs are the worst.
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:09.680
Me and Holly.
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.240
We are not the worst.
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.039
Carson Knox backed me up on this one.
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:31.519
Um no, but Holly was also working there, and it was just such a sweet opportunity uh where I really grew to love the local church, and so yeah, then the Lord allowed doors to open where once our son was born, I decided to step away from teaching and have been working for the fields ever since.
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.279
Very cool, which has been now a year, a year?
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:36.960
Like a year and a couple months, yeah.
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:38.480
Started in March, I think.
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.279
Very cool.
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.400
In some ways, it's been so fast, in some ways, an eternity as well.
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.200
Well, so sweet.
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:46.000
I'm so thankful.
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:47.839
Both of you guys work for the fields.
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:57.599
Uh, a couple of just fun random questions for us for listening, somewhat uh, somewhat faster ones, but just to get you know, just to get a flavor for who are who are Holly, who are Callie?
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:01.680
What is, Holly, the best restaurant in Westfield?
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.160
Um in the greater Westfield area.
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.680
Yes, this one is in Westfield.
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:08.000
Um we love Los Agaves.
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.200
Love a good meal.
00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:09.680
Taco.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:11.200
It's great.
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.440
Well, I don't order tacos there, but what is the order at Los Agaves?
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:21.359
Uh I feel like I switch it up either fajitas or um a Rose Con pollo.
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:22.079
Yeah.
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.559
You just don't need to mess around with anything else.
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:24.880
Yep.
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.079
Callie, how about you?
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:28.000
Best restaurant in the greater Westfield area.
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:29.519
Los Agaves is up there.
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:34.240
I think there's a sentimental aspect I have, uh a sentimental connection to uh the Italian house.
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:37.359
Old cousin Italian, yeah.
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.319
I actually am Italian.
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:40.480
I'm like an I'm an eighth Italian, I think.
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.160
So I kind of am an Italian house.
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:42.880
Yeah.
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:45.119
Yeah.
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.160
Eighth Italian.
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.160
Italian house, super good.
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:48.960
Super good.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:54.960
Uh, Callie Holly, favorite song we sing at the fields, if you can think of one.
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.119
Yeah, I'm gonna go Come Thou Fount.
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:58.640
Come thou fount.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.240
We also sang Come Thou Found at our wedding.
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:01.839
That's yeah, that's part of it too.
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:02.079
Yeah.
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:02.720
Nice.
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.920
Um, honestly, I struggle to pick one, but I do love it as well with my soul, which we sang this past tonight.
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:08.400
Oh, we did.
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:08.799
Oh, yeah.
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:09.920
So good.
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:11.200
I've always loved that song.
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:11.759
But yeah.
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:12.799
Great songs.
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.480
Favorite dessert?
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:21.359
Uh definitely chocolate-covered strawberries or Reese's of any.
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.200
It's great.
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.480
I think I'm also gonna say chocolate-covered strawberries just to stick it to Joe.
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:27.839
He doesn't like them.
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:28.400
You don't.
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.519
They are a little bit messy.
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.640
To clear the air, everyone, do I like chocolate-covered strawberries?
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:38.799
I do, but I think I would rather like just strawberries by themselves and just chocolate by themselves.
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:43.200
I also have kind of sensitive teeth too, so it's like when I buy if they're kind of cold, it's all they're always kind of cold.
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:45.519
And I buy it into them, it's like, ah, they're gonna hurt a little bit.
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.160
Chocolate-covered strawberries.
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:48.559
Wow.
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:49.759
And Reese's for Holly.
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:50.640
Anything else for you, Callie?
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.599
Just chocolate-covered cookies.
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.160
Ah, chocolate chip cookies is also high on the list, yeah.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:54.880
Mm-hmm.
00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:02.480
Uh, question if you had to live in another state that's not Indiana, what state would it be?
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.480
Holly Line, how about you?
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:14.640
Um, I also I'm just I'm just a very indecisive person and cannot choose another state, but I would say right now, just somewhere that is not this humid.
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:19.440
A dry uh perhaps a drier place, the desert.
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.240
Yeah.
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.839
I don't know if I would love to live just as hot there in Arizona.
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:30.480
I don't know if I'd love to live in California, but also it's like 75 and sunny, yeah, and I don't think super humid.
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:31.920
So that just sounds very appealing.
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.279
That'd be nice.
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:33.920
Yeah.
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:34.799
I don't know.
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:37.039
Callie, how about you?
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.240
Alaska, perhaps?
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.519
Probably not Alaska.
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:43.599
Um, I I would probably go somewhere where it's never winter.
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:44.799
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:49.839
We talk in Florida, we talk in Alabama, Hawaii, Arizona, Texas.
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.400
You could see like a South Carolina in a fun experience.
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:54.799
Summers are hot, but I I can handle the heat.
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:55.279
I like the heat.
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:57.359
Unless you're pregnant, though.
00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:59.039
Yeah, it's been less fun this summer.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.039
Fun fact about Cali is well, yeah, it's been different with you being pregnant.
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.799
You're like more of a normal person.
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:13.119
When yeah, I there's a point in time I realized, oh my goodness, Cali just loves to be if to be like over 95 degrees outside.
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.279
And I am like just cannot hang.
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:16.400
I just can't do it.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.400
It's oh I do not like to be cold.
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:19.759
I do not like to shiver.
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:20.880
That hot though.
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.079
You need access to a pool.
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:22.640
True.
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:23.200
Yeah.
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:24.480
Two more questions.
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.440
Holly Callie, favorite book of the Bible.
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:30.960
I also couldn't choose on this one.
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:31.519
It's good.
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:32.960
Um, they're all they're all great.
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:41.359
But I've been going through psalms um just prepping for the TGC conference, and it's just been sweet um to read through.
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:43.359
So that's sweet for right now.
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.400
I will say psalms.
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:45.039
Good stuff.
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.039
I've given different answers to this question as many times.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.599
Callie's favorite book of the Bible at this point in time.
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.559
This fine, it's been pretty consistently for several years now.
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:54.480
I uh I just love Philippines.
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:55.440
I really do.
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.640
That's great.
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:06.880
And then last question for us here uh if you have either like a life verse or a favorite verse uh from the Bible um that especially stands out to you, what would that be?
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:17.680
Um, I think just in the season since becoming a mom, I have just really loved Isaiah 40, 11, uh that says he tends his flock like a shepherd.
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.599
He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart.
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:24.480
He gently leads those that have young.
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:34.319
Um, and I just love that reminder that uh like Jesus specifically is gentle with those that are moms.
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.960
Um, and I need that reminder often.
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.039
Um, but he's gently leading us and we're always close.
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:47.839
Um yeah, sweet, super sweet in this season of kiddos, which can be crazy.
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:48.799
Also, yes.
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.920
We're just finding this out ourselves.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:53.440
There can be some craziness.
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:54.880
Oh, yes.
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:56.880
We need some calm, we need some gentleness.
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.279
Yeah.
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:58.079
That's great.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.519
Callie, how about for you?
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:01.920
I'm gonna have to go with Psalm 121.
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:11.200
Um I yeah, it's just carried me through a lot of difficult seasons, and I love the idea that the Lord does not sleep or slumber, and so he's always watching us.
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:21.759
And it's been a sweet prayer to pray over Luke, like when we lay him down, especially like in the early days when we were so anxious to, you know, put him in his crib and try to fall asleep, like knowing that the Lord doesn't sleep.
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:23.920
And um, I just love the final two verses.
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:30.720
The Lord will protect you from all harm, he will protect your life, the Lord will protect your coming and going, both now and forever.
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.359
It just doesn't get much more all-encompassing than that.
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.440
So amen.
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:40.079
Well, Callie Holly, thanks, guys, for your time, even just us to get to know you better.
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.160
Hope for it um for all you listening.
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.319
That uh helps you to know Callie Holly better.
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:53.759
That um, if you don't know them, if you're a member of our church, if you are listening or digging into our church and you have not met Callie and Holly, you need to that on a Sunday say hi to them and uh get to know them.
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:57.519
And I just want to thank you guys for all the work that you do for our church.
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:01.599
Um, and uh I think especially for you guys, a lot of that work goes unseen.
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:03.119
That sometimes there's people who do.
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:04.960
I get to just be up in front of people all the time.
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.640
Like people see people see work that I do, but you guys often don't get to.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:20.640
So um, yeah, those listening, be sure to thank Callie Holly too for um yeah, the tireless, tireless work that you guys do um to serve us, to serve our church, but really you guys are serving Christ in doing that.
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:22.640
So press on in that button.
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.319
Thanks, you guys, and we are signing off for Fields Notes.
