THE HOSTS

John Holst
I’m in my mid 20’s and constantly feel like I’m a 4-year-old pretending to be a grown-up. I am a single guy, but I try hard to make my apartment somewhat clean. When I’m not busy being Ryan Gosling's body double, I try to read deep philosophical texts, I enjoy the arts, rescuing and raising endangered rhinos and cooking gourmet meals. I may not have any money saved for my retirement, but at least I get my oil changed somewhat regularly. Now, that's an adulting win!

Shawna Young
I am married to my high school sweetheart, mom to 3 amazing kiddos navigating through this up and down whirlwind called life as an ADULT! Join me in this journey of adulthood where every single day God humbles me as I try to figure out how to successfully "Adult" in-between tantrums, homework, housework, marriage, and motherhood all while trying to enjoy my coffee HOT! I may not always know what I am doing, but I am excited to share what I have learned!
