Floaties and Faith: Finding the Sacred in the Shallow End Artwork

The Deep Water Show

The Deep Water Show is a podcast for women who want to encounter God’s presence in everyday life ... especially in seasons of healing, transition, and life’s pivot points.

Hosted by longtime friends Jackie McCown and Christi Eaton, this show is a shared table where honest conversations meet deep faith. We talk about marriage, motherhood, identity, grief, friendship, and the quiet work God is doing beneath the surface — often long before anything looks “fixed” or resolved. With Scripture as our anchor and real life as our context, each episode makes space for reflection, vulnerability, and spiritual recalibration.

We’re not here with formulas or perfect answers. We’re here to slow the pace, tell the truth, and notice how God meets us in the ordinary moments ... the kitchen sink, the carpool line, the hard conversations, the long middle seasons. Some episodes feature thoughtful guests who have navigated their own deep waters; others are simply Jackie and Christi pulling up chairs and talking honestly about what faith looks like when life doesn’t fit tidy categories.

The Deep Water Show is for women who are tired of striving, curious about what it means to live from presence rather than performance, and hungry for a faith that feels lived-in and real. If you’re navigating change, healing, or simply longing to feel less alone in your walk with God.

Floaties and Faith: Finding the Sacred in the Shallow End

This week, it’s me and the Mac — yes, the one who quotes Churchill and thinks duct tape can fix anything. We’re diving into the deep water (floaties and all) to talk about what it really means to live marriage as a sacrament. Not just in the big, church-sanctioned sense, but in the everyday — the dinners, the laundry, the laughter over wings and a beer.We talk about distraction and stillness, the Mary-and-Martha dance, the way our phones pull us away from what matters most, and how grace meets us right where we are — in the ordinary rhythms of life together.If you’ve ever wondered how to find depth in the daily, this one’s for you.Topics we cover:

Marriage as a lived sacrament
The spiritual cost of distraction
Doing vs. being (Mary and Martha revisited)
Finding grace in the ordinary
What it means to be still again

Pull up a chair, bring your coffee (or your floaties), and let’s wade into the deep together.Subscribe for more conversations that make faith feel like home.
