  • Life altering show

    Hearing Rebecca, Liz, and Nika talk through the same life struggles we all have (and by “we”, I mean me!) and their Christ-centric lens of seeing those struggles at the intersection of Christianity and cultural expectations makes this the most unique and valuable podcast in my playlist. A must-have!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 171 | How Much Is Enough? | Guest: Taylor Standridge
Q: Is it a sin to be rich?
No; wealth itself isn't wrong, but the heart behind wealth matters. God cares more about the heart than the money, and wealth becomes problematic when it is acquired or used in ways that exploit others or contradict God's purposes.
Episode 170 | Detangling Toxic Relationships | Guest: Dr. Christine M. Crawford
Q: How does scripture fit into deciding whether to stay or leave in a harmful marriage?
Context matters; there is no universal black-and-white rule. The conversation emphasizes aligning actions with God's character of love and dignity, rather than rigidly applying ancient laws to modern situations.
Episode 170 | Detangling Toxic Relationships | Guest: Dr. Christine M. Crawford
Q: Why is it so hard for some women to leave abusive dynamics even when they want to?
Because financial dependence, lack of education, fear of rejection by the church, concerns about children, and the belief that divorce is morally forbidden can all keep someone stuck, even when their heart longs for safety and dignity.
Episode 170 | Detangling Toxic Relationships | Guest: Dr. Christine M. Crawford
Q: What entry points do you use when helping someone start healing from trauma in a faith context?
Christine describes starting with soul care practices, grounding in a theology of invitation, and teaching people to slow down, listen to their bodies, and reframe prayer as an attentive relationship with God rather than a formula.
Episode 161 | Rethinking Alcohol | Guest: Ericka Andersen
Q: What would you say to someone who is sober curious but isn't ready to take that step?
Follow that curiosity and be open to what God wants you to know, without pressure to make immediate changes.
