We're back with our Top Two! This week, we share lots of thoughts about the practical application of not being a victim of our circumstances and how to confront a person who offends you, but in all honesty, we don't have a lot of answers or resolution. We leave these topics really open-ended as we're literally in the middle of learning these lessons ourselves. 

This is your invitation to join the discussion. We'd love to hear what God's teaching you about these topics, and we're always open to book and podcast recommendations that allow us to study these topics on a deeper level. Please consider leaving us all your thoughts in a short voice memo in our DMs on Instagram @aswegrowpod.

For more excerpts from the book Joy's writing, follow her on IG @joyabaddotcom.

On this week's episode, our Top Two merges into one as we both flesh out the idea of what it means practically to follow God's way versus following the world's way. How do you discern the two? What are the consequences? Why is complete surrender non-negotiable? Warning: we're both feeling a little spicy in this episode. Buckle up!

In this week’s episode, we pick up with the second part of our Top Two. Gretchen shares how a message on heavenly rewards, a moment of questioning her own calling, and a powerful line from Profound Good all collided into a realization that shifted everything. The takeaway? It’s not about the checklist of what we do, but something much deeper.

We’d love to hear what you think! Tap “text the show” above and share your thoughts.

Today we break our Top Two into two parts. On part 1, Joy talks about how surprisingly "blurry" she's found 1 Corinthians to be while reading through it. Some of the verses mentioned are: 1 Corinthians 6:3; 8:5; 10:4, 10; 11:10; and 12:1-3. 

Next time on part two, Gretchen will be talking about how to know what your calling from God is.

The Bible Project series on Ancient Cosmology begins here.

The Blurry Creatures episode we referred to  about the New Age is here: The Medicine Deception: Fallen Angels and Ayahuasca with Christa Black.

After releasing our first five episodes, we decided to do a bonus episode following up on some of the things we've discussed previously and answering your questions. As always "text the show" with your questions, and we may feature your question in a future pod.

Here's where we're going today:

1. A follow-up on how Gretchen is practicing the discipline of celebration (Celebration of Discipline) and where to find more info on the healing properties of leaves (The Biblio Diet & sign up for his free resource here).

2. The Enneagram--our hot takes on using a secular personality modality as followers of Jesus. 

"As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him." Romans 14:1-3 ESV

"But the doubter comes under condemnation if he eats, because his action is not based on trust. And anything not based on trust is a sin." Romans 8:23 CJB

Blurry Creatures episode discussing praying over technology: "The Mystery Schools"
