How to Trust God in Seasons of Transition
3d ago00:24:16Tap to summarizeIn the middle of busy schedules, anxiety, pressure, and overwhelming seasons, many of us don’t need more noise. We need space to hear God again. In this episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Megan is joined by her friend Sarah Delgado for a deeply honest conversation about hearing God in quiet seasons, navigating life transitions, and intentionally creating space to reconnect with Jesus. Sarah shares about taking her very first solo trip to the beach during a major season of transition and how stepping away from everyday responsibilities gave her the opportunity to pause, reflect, process, and reset spiritually. Together, Megan and Sarah unpack the importance of slowing down long enough to recognize what God is doing beneath the surface, especially in seasons filled with anxiety, uncertainty, unanswered questions, and change. They also talk about: • how comparison and fear can quietly steal peace • why solitude with God is different than isolation • how reflection builds confidence for future seasons • why intentional rest matters spiritually and emotionally • and how God often speaks most clearly when we finally get still This conversation is especially powerful for anyone walking through: • a life transition • burnout or overwhelm • leadership pressure • spiritual exhaustion • waiting seasons • or uncertainty about what’s next Because sometimes the reset you need isn’t another strategy.

Transcribe →3 Small Shifts to Reconnect in Your Marriage
2w ago00:11:39Tap to summarizeMost marriages don’t fall apart overnight. They drift apart slowly. In this solo episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Megan shares 3 small shifts that can help you reconnect emotionally, strengthen communication, and stay connected in your marriage during busy seasons of life. Because disconnection rarely comes from one catastrophic moment. It usually comes from postponed conversations, distractions, packed schedules, exhaustion, and unintentionally neglecting the relationship while trying to manage everything else. Megan talks honestly about how easy it is to become task managers instead of teammates and why intentional connection has to be prioritized before distance becomes normal. She also shares practical ways to reconnect through: • intentional conversations • thoughtful daily habits • emotional presence • weekly check-ins • and small moments that strengthen connection over time Because strong marriages are not built only in big milestone moments. They’re built in the quiet, repeated moments of choosing each other again and again.

3w ago00:19:31Tap to summarizeIn a world full of distractions, fear, pressure, and noise, how do you actually stay grounded in your faith? In this episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Chad and Megan share practical wisdom on how to put God first, walk with integrity, and lead by example in everyday life. After Chad recently spoke at a men’s conference, this conversation naturally evolved into a deeper discussion about what it means to live as a man or woman of God in today’s world, not just through words, but through everyday choices, habits, and actions. Because faith isn’t just something you believe. It’s something you live. This episode explores how seeking God first impacts your marriage, your family, your leadership, your mindset, and the legacy you’re building every single day. Chad and Megan also talk about the importance of creating intentional rhythms with God, building a daily plan around faith, and living with integrity even when no one else is watching. They remind listeners that strong faith isn’t built overnight. It’s built in small, consistent decisions. Ready to Reset and Realign?

4w ago00:20:46Tap to summarizeMarriage isn’t about moving perfectly. It’s about continuing to move in the same direction. In this episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Chad and Megan celebrate 31 years of marriage by sharing the biggest lessons they’ve learned about staying connected, building unity, and continuing to grow together through every season of life. They use the powerful analogy of a rowboat to explain what marriage really looks like. When one person rows and the other stops, the relationship starts moving in circles. When couples row against each other, frustration and disconnection grow. But when both people intentionally move in the same direction, the marriage begins to gain momentum, rhythm, and purpose. This episode dives into the reality that strong marriages are not built by accident. They are built through intentional communication, shared vision, spiritual alignment, and the willingness to keep choosing each other even when life gets hard. Chad and Megan also open up about the different seasons they’ve walked through over the last 31 years, including stress, parenting, business pressures, emotional disconnection, and learning how to communicate honestly without giving up on each other. Because the goal of marriage is not perfection. It’s unity. In This Episode, You’ll Learn • How to stay united in marriage during stressful seasons • Why communication is one of the most important parts of marriage • How shared vision strengthens your relationship • What causes couples to drift apart emotionally and spiritually • Why rhythms and routines matter in marriage • How to reconnect when you feel disconnected • The importance of praying together and dreaming together • Practical ways to strengthen emotional connection in marriage Key Takeaways • Strong marriages require intentionality • Unity doesn’t mean perfect, it means purposeful • Couples drift when they stop dreaming together • Communication creates connection • Healthy rhythms help marriages stay aligned • You don’t have to be perfect to move forward together Ready to Reset and Realign?

Transcribe →How to Stay Connected in Marriage During Stressful Seasons
May 600:22:22Tap to summarizeIf you’ve ever felt like you and your spouse are under pressure and somehow ending up on opposite sides instead of standing together, this episode is for you. In this episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Chad and Megan talk about what it really looks like to stay connected in marriage during stressful seasons and why so many couples unintentionally begin fighting each other instead of fighting for each other. Because the truth is, stress is inevitable. The weight of work, raising kids, responsibilities, expectations, and everyday life can slowly create tension in a relationship. And when that pressure builds, it can either bring you closer together or quietly push you apart. Most of the time, disconnection doesn’t come from one big moment. It comes from small, unaddressed things, like exhaustion, miscommunication, distractions, and unspoken expectations. That’s where many couples get stuck. Instead of recognizing the real problem, they begin to see each other as the problem. But you’re not the enemy. You’re on the same team. This episode walks through how to shift that perspective and begin approaching your marriage with unity again. Chad and Megan share how to identify the real source of tension, name what’s actually going on beneath the surface, and create space for honest, intentional conversations that bring you back into alignment. They also introduce a simple but powerful practice they use in their own marriage, a weekly “team huddle.” This is a dedicated time to check in, talk through schedules, acknowledge pressure points, and support each other intentionally so that stress doesn’t turn into distance. Because strong marriages aren’t the ones without pressure. They’re the ones that learn how to stay soft toward each other, even in the middle of it. This episode is a reminder that connection doesn’t require a perfect season. It requires intentionality. And sometimes, the most powerful shift you can make is choosing to pause, refocus, and take one step back toward each other. Ready to Reset and Realign?

Mar 2500:15:49Tap to summarizeKindness is more than being nice. It’s about truly seeing people. In this episode of Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Megan shares a powerful reflection on kindness in the Bible through the story of the woman at the well in John 4. In a world that moves fast, it’s easy to interact with people without really engaging with them. We say the right things, we stay busy, and we move on. But biblical kindness calls us to something deeper. Through this story, we see how Jesus modeled kindness in a way that was both truthful and compassionate. He didn’t avoid her. He didn’t rush past her. He didn’t condemn her. He saw her. And that moment changed everything. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: • What true kindness in the Bible actually looks like • Lessons from the woman at the well (John 4) • How Jesus showed kindness without avoiding truth • Why people are not interruptions, they are the assignment • How to slow down and be more present in your daily life • Practical ways to show kindness in relationships • Why small moments of kindness can have lasting impact Thanks for tuning in to Legacy Life with The Lacefields!We’re honored to walk alongside couples, families, and leaders who want to live their legacy—not just leave one.If today’s episode encouraged you, would you do us a favor?🌟 Rate the show✍️ Leave a quick review📲 Share it with a friend who needs a little inspirationWant to connect with Chad or Megan?
