What if the evil we encounter in life isn't from God, but a distortion of the good? This episode features a revealing conversation with Ingrid Faro, author of "Demystifying Evil: A Biblical and Personal Exploration." Ingrid opens up about her arduous journey through abuse and trauma, which tested her faith and propelled her into the depths of theology. Her story is a testament to the power of confronting evil head-on, understanding its biblical roots, and finding redemption through wisdom. Together, we unravel how recognizing our unwitting alignment with evil can lead to profound healing and a stronger bond with God and each other.

Learn to perceive these adversities not as roadblocks but as opportunities for transformation, where God can turn evil into good, granting us hope and resilience. We dive into the significance of seeking God's guidance to ensure our actions are truly benefiting others and reflect God’s love. Ingrid shares moving testimonies of faith, forgiveness, and the complex journey toward spiritual growth, reminding us that God's healing and forgiveness are always within reach. Join us for this insightful exploration of faith's power to navigate life's challenges with grace.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with the ever-curious Bob Goff as he shares his wisdom on living a meaningful life through curiosity and spiritual presence. Bob, the author of "Catching Whimsy: 365 Days of Possibility," guides us through the journey of releasing the tight grip of over-planning to rediscover joy and spontaneity. By recognizing the divine in everyday moments, we find endurance and hope, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary through faith.

Explore the power of storytelling as we reflect on faith and doubt with Bob. Much like the relatable parables of Jesus, our discussion underscores how shared experiences can reveal profound spiritual truths. With humor, Bob shares a story about mistaking a bug on a windshield for a more serious threat, illustrating how our perspective often amplifies minor challenges. This reflection encourages us to break down life's overwhelming moments into smaller, more manageable pieces, bringing clarity and peace.

In our talk, we also explore the dynamic balance between humility and ambition in faith. Drawing inspiration from the Gospel of John, we delve into embodying faith through love and curiosity, steering away from arguments. Bob emphasizes living out a vibrant and engaging faith that inspires bold actions rooted in love. Whether it's through his unique Bible study methods or his knack for finding meaning in everyday occurrences, Bob invites us to a deeper engagement with our values, enriching our spiritual journeys.

Uncover the secret to navigating social media with faith as our guest, Teryn Gregson, reveals how Scripture can be a powerful tool against the pitfalls of digital life. She opens up about her personal experiences with the toxic side of social media and offers unique insights into applying a "faith filter" to our interactions.

We tackle the anxiety and pressure social media can amplify as well as the profound peace found in seeking fulfillment through Christ rather than likes. By drawing a clear line between social influence and soul influence, we encourage focusing on real-life connections and spiritual growth, using social media as a supplementary tool rather than a substitute for genuine community.

Teryn shares practical advice on setting boundaries and achieving true rest, using the Bible as a compass for online behavior. With practical tips and Christian teachings, this episode equips listeners to navigate the digital landscape while staying grounded in God's word.
