Active Listening

In our final episode with Steve and Jane, we learn about where they are at now and the lessons they have learned so far. It has been quite a journey of discovery, hope, despair, grace, fear, and love. We hope your heart has been touched and your eyes have been opened a bit more to the stories of another.

This episode is where the rubber hits the road with Steve and Jane's journey with Church and Institution – where things get even more real and honest. Through this conversation, we get to hear about the major turning point in their relationship with each other and the Institution.

In our second episode with Steve and Jane, we dive a little deeper into their story with Church & Work. Steve explains what it was like to work in the church setting while also grieving his sister's passing, and Jane shares with us what it was like being the "supportive" wife. The situation gets a bit messy, but they loved the people they were working and serving alongside. There is definitely more than meets the eye when it comes to mixing church with work.

Steve and Jane Warner have been our long time friends, and we have had many great conversations with them. They have been on quite a journey over the last couple years.

In this first of four episodes with them, they begin their story on how the Church & Institution don’t mix. Plus, they share with us some of their history and the lead up to a defining moment in their relationship with each other and church.

In this episode, we will be starting off the season with our own story (mainly Ariana's side of it). After writing a blog post that ended up reaching more people than expected, we figured it was time to share the rest of the story. This is about where we're at now and the struggle between Church & Infertility. (There's also a little bit of Church & Prosperity thrown in there, too.)

Welcome to the Active Listening Podcast! This is the debut episode of the season. We will be touching on the why behind the podcast, what you may expect to hear, and a bit about ourselves.
