Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Catholic vs Protestant: What We Got Wrong About Each Other

Franni Cash - Finding Jesus After Growing Up In A Cult and What Church Looks Like Now
Q: What message do you want listeners who are wary of church to hear about healing and re-engagement?
Validation of pain, emphasis on accountability over condemnation, and the idea that grace and community can be pursued progressively to avoid returning to harmful patterns.
Franni Cash - Finding Jesus After Growing Up In A Cult and What Church Looks Like Now
Q: What changed for you after leaving the community that allowed you to engage with church and faith differently?
She explains how discovering a kinder, larger vision of Jesus, plus therapy and healthy relationships, helped her reclaim faith without being defined by her past trauma.
Franni Cash - Finding Jesus After Growing Up In A Cult and What Church Looks Like Now
Q: How did you process growing up in a cult and still stay connected to faith through music?
Franni describes finding a compassionate, authentic Jesus after leaving the cult, the role of therapy and community in healing, and her ongoing effort to make Christian music that feels specific and true to personal experience.
