In this deeply personal and powerful episode, the team is joined by a very special guest: Tassy’s daughter, Bella. This isn't just a story about teenage rebellion; it’s a masterclass in redemption, the "hounds of heaven," and the fierce, protective love of parents who refuse to let their child go. Bella shares her journey from a childhood of emotional abuse and trauma to a radical encounter with Jesus that changed everything.
In this episode, we explore:
Our Challenge to You
If you are a parent of a prodigal, never stop praying and never stop fighting. Fasting and prayer work. If you are the one running, know that you are never too far gone. The enemy wants you doused in shame, but Jesus is waiting with open arms.
Welcome back to Altar’d Reality! Today, Jen, Lauren, and Tassy wrap up their series on the end times by looking past the chaos of judgment to the incredible beauty of our eternal future. From the Millennial Reign to the streets of gold in the New Jerusalem, we’re asking the big questions: Will we be bored? Will we recognize our family? And what exactly are we going to be doing for forever?
In this episode, we cover:
Our Challenge to You
This week, spend some time reading Revelation 21 and 22. Instead of focusing on what you're leaving behind on Earth, focus on what will be missing in eternity: no more death, no more pain, no more crying, and no more separation. Ask yourself: How would I live today if I truly grasped the weight of the "forever" that is waiting for me?

Our Challenge to You
This week, evaluate what is shaping your worldview: God’s Word or your social media algorithm. Like Noah, who built an ark for something he had never seen before, we are called to live with radical faith and readiness, even when the world mocks our preparation.

Welcome back to the podcast! Today, Jen, Lauren, and Tassy are continuing their series on the end times by walking through the script of the Tribulation. Rather than getting bogged down in every minor detail, the team looks at this period as a series of movie scenes, pointing out the moments that make you stop and say, "Wait, that's in the Bible?".

Our Challenge to You
The goal of studying these events isn't to figure out the identity of the Antichrist, but to know your Shepherd’s voice. This week, seek to deepen your relationship with Jesus so that you won't be susceptible to modern deceptions or counterfeits. Ask yourself: if Jesus came back today, would I recognize His voice?.

Tassy returns to the studio this week, as they explore the complex and often misunderstood topic of the rapture, emphasizing that for believers, this event is a source of hope rather than fear.
Opening and Ice Breakers
In this episode, we cover:
Our Challenge to You
The only question that truly matters regarding the rapture is not when or how it happens, but what side of it you are on. This week, ask yourself: If you knew that Jesus was going to come back today, would you be living any differently than you are right now?

Welcome back to the podcast! Today it is just a duo as Jen and Lauren hold down the fort while Tassy is away for some Summer fun. We are diving into what is known as the Olivet Discourse, Jesus' longest teaching on the end times, delivered right before he went to the cross.
Hot Takes and Rapid Fire
Before getting into the theology, we share some random hot takes and pet peeves. Jen is passionate about people using their blinkers on the highway, while Lauren stands firm that local coffee shops are always better than Starbucks. We also play a round of rapid fire Would-You-Rather.
In this episode, we cover:
Our Challenge to You
This week, read Matthew 24 and 25. Instead of looking for headlines or dates, look for the heart of Jesus. Ask yourself: If I truly believed Jesus could return at any moment, what would I change about my life tomorrow morning?

Welcome back to Altar’d Reality! Today, Jen, Lauren, and Tassy are kicking off a multi-week series on a topic that often gets avoided or sensationalized in the church: the end times. We are dropping the fear and digging into the "blessed hope" of Jesus’ return.
Break the Ice: Rapture Dreams and Gabriel’s Trumpet
Before we dive into the theology, we share some hilarious and slightly traumatic childhood memories of growing up in the church. From being terrified that clothes (but not underwear?) would be left behind in a pile, to waking up and slapping our husbands to make sure they haven't been raptured without us, we’ve all felt the "rapture anxiety."
In this episode, we cover:

Welcome back to the podcast! After a one week break, Jen, Lauren, and Tassy are back in the studio singing the "Golden Girls" theme song and ignoring their feral kids running around in the background. Today, we are moving past genealogy charts to explore the beautifully woven pattern of the 12 tribes of Israel and how their stories are actually our stories.
In this episode, we cover:
Our Challenge to You
This week, pray about which tribe’s story God is telling through your life right now. Look at the traits, both the gifts and the "shadow sides", to see how God wants to use your unique personality and history for His glory.

Welcome back to the podcast! Today, Jen, Lauren, and Tassy are diving into the rich, interwoven story of the Old Testament to show how it truly was all about Jesus from the very beginning. We’re looking at how the scriptures point to Christ not just through promises, but through patterns and physical appearances.
In this episode, we explore:
Our Challenge to You
This week, grab your Bible and go on your own "Emmaus Road" journey. Look for Jesus in the Old Testament stories you think you already know. Ask yourself: what legacy am I leaving behind through the decisions I make today?.

Welcome back to Altar’d Reality! Today, the "Three Amigos"—Jen, Lauren, and Tassy—are getting a little "conspiratorial," but don’t worry, we aren't going down a rabbit hole without our Bibles. We’re looking at the recent government disclosures and supernatural encounters through a strictly biblical lens.
In this episode, we explore:
Our Challenge to You
This week, evaluate what is shaping your worldview. Is it your social media algorithm, or is it God’s Word? Take seven days to turn off the noise—maybe even quit social media for a week—and "touch grass" while you lean into the Holy Spirit.
