Hello everyone! Welcome, or welcome back to 2 Trees in a Pod! We are so happy you are here. Happy Tuesday, and happy Women's History Month! For our first episode of the month of March we thought it would be fitting to sit down and discuss the history of some impactful women whose stories are told in the Bible. These women were warriors, courageous and brave, queens, and incredible examples of devotion. Women have played a beautiful and powerful role in God's story and we want to share that with you, today!

Thank you for joining us today for our episode on self-love! Listen along as we share an update on last week's challenge, explore the world's view on self-love, compare it to what God defines self-love as, and share some practical tips on loving yourself better. We also identify what our "key" is to practicing better self-love... and a hint to that is that it comes from our guy, C.S. Lewis! 

Hello friends, and welcome back (or welcome!) to 2 Trees in a Pod! In this episode, listen along as we divulge our opinions conversation-style on modern relationships, what makes them a struggle, and what can be done to help. Due to the conversational manner of this episode, we did go over our 1 hour mark, so buckle up for a lengthier one! We are borderline obsessed with this topic and love talking about it, and probably will again soon. 

Have a great day, and see you next Tuesday!

We look into the comparisons made by Compassion International and then segway into a deep dive into Ecclesiastes (if you haven't read this book in the Bible, you will feel like you did after listening! We still recommend checking it out for yourself.) Solomon is known as one of the wisest men to have ever lived, and his insights into happiness and joy are worth discussing again in the future. 

This is our longest episode yet, and we finally feel like we're getting a little flow in these recordings, which is exciting! Also, please excuse the moments of background noise, we are looking into a better recording method :)

In this week's episode, we unpack the many realities of your 20s that come along with all the emotions... from anxiety about the future, to FOMO in the present... and to reflection on your recent past, this decade is a whirlwind. We share some of our own mini-crises experienced thus far into our 20s, which of these realities we are currently struggling with, and top it off with a little biblical wisdom. This can be a crazy time, whether you are in your 20s yourself or have loved ones going through it, we hope this chat helps you to feel less alone in the process <3

"When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise- In God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" Psalm 56:3-4

While we all go through this crazy journey, let us remember that God has already solved any problem we might face. Let us not be afraid of tomorrow!

Hi! In this episode, we unpack the differences between knowing Jesus and religion itself. We dive into the problem with religious “checklists” and talk about what a genuine relationship with Jesus looks like through the lens of our experiences. We also chat about what The Bible has to say about this topic. Stay blessed, and enjoy the final episode of the launch week series!
