  • So relatable

    I found Elizabeth through another podcast and immediately connected with her relatable, chill, and straightforward voice. She truly feels like the friend we all need in our lives. Thank you for bringing the Word of God to us in such a beautiful and down-to-earth way, making it so relevant to today’s world. And yes—I often go back and re-listen to episodes! Not because they simply make me “feel good,” but because she speaks truth shared with grace, but truth nonetheless. I’ve learned so much and ... more

  • You Said What I’ve Needed to Hear for YEARS

    Elizabeth, I am SOBBING right now - I was *led* to you through another podcast and was wondering why/what was I listening for . . . when you said (in a much more lovely artful way) that the fact we are asking questions and/or doubting ourselves is a sign of humility. I can’t possibly explain how that has lifted such a heavy burden from me. I was actually reading Luke 11 to my dog as I was walking her tonight 😄 and God worked through you to lighten my “yoke.” Sending you SO much gratitude & than... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Real Life Discipleship: Belonging with Kyle Worley
Q: How would you define union with Christ?
Union with Christ is the believer's identification, incorporation, and participation into all of Christ's life.
Real Life Discipleship: Faith & Public Witness with Justin Giboney
Q: How have you seen the struggle with nuance and the things you guys are doing offline to engage people in conversation?
Conversations need to happen offline and in person to get to know people's thoughts rather than relying on social media narratives.
Real Life Discipleship: Faith & Public Witness with Justin Giboney
Q: What would you say about why our faith matters to live it out in the public sphere, especially now?
It's important to love our neighbors and build relationships with people outside our communities to better evangelize and understand them.
Church Mothers: Parenting with Susan Seay
Q: If there is one place she can start, one thing she could do today to help bring maybe some more calm, some more structure, or more awareness to even where she's at in her motherhood journey, what would you tell her?
First of all, I get it. I have been in conversation circles where I'm listening to everybody share their wins and their victories, and I'm sitting there like, yeah, I don't know, I'm barely here. I would encourage if there's a mom listening who wants some greater support, go to that podcast and scroll through and find the title that speaks to you and enjoy it.
Church Mothers: Becoming A Church Mother with Yana Jenay
Q: What would you say to that person? Like, how can they go from just hearing truth to taking one step towards applying it?
Start with prayer and pay attention to who God is bringing your way. Invest time into relationships and allow those to develop into discipleship opportunities.
