If you struggle with holding yourself back from pursuing the desires of your heart, this episode is for you! So often I see Christians hold themselves back from all that God has for them. This episode will encourage you to have a bigger view of God and believe that you can work with Him to achieve your dreams.
So many of us feel like we never measure up—especially as Christians. We can feel overwhelmed at the thought of not being “good” enough or “pure” enough to be accepted by God. We can feel like our mistakes and weaknesses keep us from being used by God. If you can relate to those feelings, this episode is for you. Allow me to encourage you by taking you through Biblical examples of people who made mistakes, but were still used by Go...
Church isn’t the place you expect to hear about strippers and sex toys. But some out of control pastors have used sex toys as props in sermons and compared Jesus to a stripper. It sounds too wild to be true, but the episode calls out pastors who have taken it too far. It’s time for us to start holding pastors accountable, and this episode does just that.

In 2008, a prominent pastor from Australia shared that he was battling cancer. What came out of his struggle with cancer was a song he wrote, “Healer,” which became the world-wide anthem for Christians battling their own illnesses. However, the history of this moving song is much darker and stranger than anyone could guess. This church scandal and many like it are sadly all too common. But why do so many prominent pastors seem to g...
Fear of the Devil is nothing new, but this fear was kicked into high gear in 1983 when one woman shared that she had been ritualistically abused by Devil worshippers. This woman’s story started a cultural movement known as the “Satanic Panic.” People distrusted teachers, government agents, neighbors, and even their own family. While this panic died down a decade later, it was reborn in 2020 and persists today. Which leads to the qu...
For decades haunted house attractions would pop up every Halloween at churches in small rural towns across America. However, these were not ordinary haunted houses full of ghosts or ghouls. These were hell houses that depicted disturbing scenes of debauchery and sin. But why were they made? And what went on inside these hell houses? Come explore the dark history of hell houses…if you dare.

This episode continues where the last one left off—where I continue to break down whether mental health issues are demonic activity, or not. I also share practical advice and encouragement for prioritizing your own mental health.
There’s so much stigma around getting help for your mental health, especially in Christian communities. In this episode, I share my own story of getting help for my mental health and overcoming that stigma. I hope this episode normalizes Christians who struggle with mental health issues and who rely on spirituality as well as science to overcome those issues.
We all thought the world was going to end with Y2K, or in 2016 with the Mayan calendar, or even in 2020 with COVID. So many people speculate about the end times, which is human and normal. But I argue that it can be dangerous when people act like they know we’re living in end times or when the world will end—especially people with large platforms. This episode explores the dangerous of speculation and answers the question—does anyo...

This concludes the conversation I had with my friend Logan about his experience being trans, his thoughts on Christianity and our thoughts on what connects us as humans. For the first part of this conversation, be sure to listen to the previous episode!

My friend Logan and I couldn’t be more different. He’s trans, I’m straight. I believe in God, he doesn’t. However, despite or maybe because of our differences, I have learned a lot from Logan about seeing someone as a fellow human and having compassion for their story, even if it’s vastly different from mine. In this episode we discuss Logan’s upbringing in an extremely religious household, being trans and ultimately what we all ...
Just as the title says, in this special installment I sit down with my friend Tyler and his boyfriend Tommy. We discuss growing up gay in the church, the idea that being gay is a lifestyle and how Christians can better love their sisters and brothers in Christ who happen to be gay. I also ask my friend Elena to share her experience with Tyler coming out to her and how she loved him through that journey. If you’re curious about how ...
We need to talk, my fellow Christians because I have seen a lot of disturbing chatter around the LGBTQ+ community, especially regarding Christians in that community. So consider this a come to Jesus meeting about how we can do better to love the LGBTQ+ community because by and large, we aren’t doing so great.
Who knew a movie about a doll could cause so much drama? The Barbie movie has taken the world by storm and brought up a lot to talk about. Curses, the “hidden gay agenda,” and feminism—we cover it all in this episode!
Sometimes Christians do too much, like worrying about what others post on social media. In this episode, I unpack a debate I saw on social media over whether posting a bikini picture is ok or not. I also argue that conversations like this divide us as Christians, when we should be coming together to discuss more serious cultural issues.

Inspired by the docu-series Shiny Happy People on Amazon Prime, I explore fundamentalist Christianity and how cult-like it really is. Often the church doesn’t talk about this sect of Christianity, which is a shame because I think it is important to call out sects of Christianity that don’t reflect the true message of Gospel. This episode does just that.
This episode picks up where part one left off, but you don’t need to listen to them in order! This episode covers more dating related topics that aren’t spoken about much in church. My hope is this gives you a new perspective on dating and helps you feel more free when it comes to navigating the mysterious world of Christian dating.
Dating is already complicated, but Christians love to over-complicate it sometimes! This episode touches on a few dating related topics that the church is either silent on, or doesn't discuss in the most helpful way. With a reality check and some humor, let's uncover some of these mysterious topics together!
