In this episode, Sara and Emily answer a listener question about their thoughts on deconstruction and the tension between beautiful memories and deep woundings from church experience. If you have been wounded by the church - we see you, you are not alone, and what happened to you is not okay. This episode may contain triggers for those who have been wounded as we talk about the definitions of spiritual abuse, church hurt, and religious trauma. But Jesus. He is with us as we try to make sense of our experiences and rebuild our faith on a solid foundation.

Sara and Emily continue their mini-series on Seasons of Life. Seasons of loss can be devastating, and waiting seasons can be hard, but out of those losses our eyes can be opened to areas of cultivation that can take place during a season of waiting. 2A season of cultivation in our lives isn’t concerned with surface level changes or improvements. It’s about the deep transformation so that lasting changes and improvements can take place, and we can be healthy enough to produce fruit in our next season.

Waiting is hard. In this episode, Sara and Emily share their own challenges in seasons of waiting, as well as the beauty that can come in the in-between when we press in to Jesus.

In our lives, we go through many different seasons. In this episode, we're going to talk about Seasons of Loss. This is not an easy season to talk about, but again - it’s necessary, and the things we experience in seasons of loss tend to prepare us for growth and development that comes in other seasons, much like how the deadness of Winter paves way for the new life of Spring. Join us as we authentically share about our own seasons of loss, and how we can process through them.

We’re so glad you’re here with us in Season 2 as we continue to walk alongside you, authentically, as we follow Jesus together! Join us in this episode as we give a preview of the first topic we'll cover: Seasons of Life. There are seasons of life we enjoy and ones we dread, but isn’t it like God to use them all, for His glory and for our growth? Over the next few weeks of the podcast, we are going to take some time to talk about how to navigate different seasons in our lives, seasons of waiting, seasons of growth and preparation, and seasons of loss.

Emily and Sara are joined by Allison Jones, a counselor at Cornerstone of Hope. Tune in to hear about how to know when it's time to seek professional counseling, steps we can take to improve our mental health on our own and in community, and how we can help break the stigma surrounding mental health issues.

When our lives are busy, particularly when they feel overwhelming and beyond a healthy capacity, we often neglect taking care of ourselves: our bodies, our minds and our souls. In this episode, Sara and Emily talk to Dr. Elisha Jones from Jones Chiropractic to learn how stress impacts our physical bodies and how we can better take care of ourselves.

Emily and Sara have loved walking through this series on eliminating hurry and slowing down our lives with you. When our lives are busy, particularly when they feel overwhelming and beyond a healthy capacity, we often neglect taking care of ourselves: our bodies, our minds and our souls. In this episode, we are specifically going to talk about caring for our souls.

Licensed counselor, Haley Teodosio, joins us for this week's episode. You've heard people say "shame on you", but we are saying "shame off us" as we talk about how we can conquer shame in our lives.

In this episode, we continue talking about things we can put into practice to un-hurry our lives. This episode focuses on simplicity. We talk about how simplicity begins with an inward shift toward the Kingdom of God as our top priority. Once this inward shift occurs, we can see our possessions as gifts that we can trust God with and make available to others, loosening our grip on material things.
