Anna DeLoach and I discussed the top 5 most common struggles of going home for the holidays & how to overcome them. How do you respond when nosy questions come up? What do you do if your family doesn’t understand your faith or decisions? What if you’re not able to eat the traditional foods served? How can you prevent yourself from falling back into old habits and family drama? We cover all these questions and more as the guide to actually enjoying the holidays. --- This episode is sponsored by ·...

Why are my past mistakes still affecting me if I’m supposedly forgiven? How do I actually believe what God says about me? What is the difference between shame vs. conviction? My best friend of 7 years, Ava Cheffer, shared her own story about how shame is one of the enemy’s top strategies to keep us from living our lives to the fullest. Shame is a universal experience, but we do not have to stay stuck in it. Ava walked us through how to renew our minds and move forward into a bright future regard...

Sierra came back for Part 2 of Lies of Purity Culture! It’s so easy to use blanket statements to avoid the mess. We hear sayings like “Just cover up” or “Just don’t date”. But those don’t address questions like, “What am I supposed to do if I’m struggling with lust?” or “How can I set good boundaries for myself?” The message we could be told is that our bodies are bad. But it’s heart issues that need to be dealt with. Our bodies are gifts & it is up to us how we steward them. --- This episode ...

Daci Hudson is a long-time friend & long-time freedom fighter. She helped us unpack the process of detecting lies, experiencing freedom in the Lord’s Truth, and the dangers of staying silent. We might think we’re safe hiding behind walls in our hearts, but all we are doing is missing out on the true joy that Jesus can give us. Refuse to live behind lies any longer - there is more for you! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Suppo...

Gabrielle Ezell joined us and shared such a convicting message! We defined the term “toxic person”, explained how to spot a toxic relationship, create healthy boundaries, forgive those who have offended us, and love those difficult people in our lives. We can say, “They handed me the scissors, so I should cut them off”, but how many times have we handed Jesus those same scissors? He has chosen to love us regardless. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. ...

Sierra joined us to talk about how purity culture has spread throughout the church & has harmed many Christians along the way, specifically in the area of modesty. We discussed why the majority of blame is cast only on women, and how every person is called to be pure and have integrity, regardless of gender. Jesus didn’t actually say much about what to wear and not wear, but He always talked about the heart. Purity culture does not fix the root issue of our intentions, but Jesus offers clear per...

Can I be depressed and a Christian? Does my anxiety mean that I’m failing God? If God cares, why does He allow suffering? Victoria Hedger walks through all those questions and shares her own experience in learning how mental illness and faith coexist. She defines prosperity gospel and how the actual Gospel explains that Christ is always with us in our suffering. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://an...
