  • Please stop interrupting

    Your podcast has made a difference in my life and I am grateful, but it's very difficult to listen when you speak over the person that you're interviewing. Even affirming what they say or quoting Bible verses *with them* as they say it is distracting. Please let them just speak (or do solo episodes).

    I love this podcast so much. I was already a weekly listener and now since giving birth in January I’ve been listening back through the past episodes. I’m currently in 2022! Your voices have become a comfort to me and I love learning about the love of God through you!

    My daughter probably thinks you’re family members at this point 😂 God bless you guys, thank you for all you do x

  • Love the show

    I absolutely love the show and am so excited for the new episodes to drop, but sometimes it’s hard to understand what’s being said when you all talk at the same time or interrupt each other and not let the guest finish their sentence.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Esther
Q: How does Mordecai influence Esther's approach, and what does that teach about leadership?
Mordecai trains Esther to think critically, to keep her Jewish identity discreet, and to lean on prayer and the God-focussed strategy, showing leadership as mentorship and prudent courage rather than bold self-promotion.
Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Esther
Q: Can you explain Vashti's role and why her decision matters for Esther's story?
Cohick explains Vashti's refusal becomes a drastic example of maintaining dignity and agency in a context of coercive power, which in turn frames Esther's later choices to navigate palace politics with wisdom rather than blind obedience.
When Prophets Rise: 2 Kings
Q: Where do we begin in the scripture for someone new or curious?
Lisa suggests starting with John in the New Testament for its accessibility and narrative clarity, inviting readers to see Jesus' encounters and the gospels' authentic voice.
What’s So Audacious About Faith: Numbers
Q: Is there a place in your own life right now where you feel a nudge toward audacious faith?
Lisa reflects on not being trusting by nature and her ongoing journey of learning about audacious faith, especially as her daughter grows up and she may find herself alone again.
All About Abe: Genesis Pt. 2
Q: Hey, hey, Doc H. You know what? I want to ask you a question. And if you don't want to answer it, you don't have to, okay?
What's your middle name?
