Hey, Listen

In this episode, Kayla Wescoat sits down with Joanna Haskins to talk about what it means to love people well, on stage and off. They explore how hospitality shapes a church's culture from the parking lot to the pew, what it looks like to lead worship without becoming the center of attention, and why faithfulness — not visible results — is the real measure of serving well. It's an encouraging look at making people feel seen, heard, and wanted.

Being in Christ isn't an institution to belong to; it's a relationship to live inside of.

The gospel isn't just something to understand; it's something to receive.

In this episode, Kayla Wescoat and Pastor Jeremy Muniz finish our conversation about faith "deconstruction" by looking at the warning signs of unhealthy deconstruction and the core truths that keep us anchored. They dig into what it looks like when feelings override truth, when community gets replaced by isolation, and why questioning Scripture's authority is often the first step away from faith. They close with a hopeful idea: what if instead of deconstructing, we just renovated?

In this episode, Kayla Wescoat and Pastor Jeremy Muniz begin a conversation about faith "deconstruction" — what it really is, where it comes from, and how to tell the difference between healthy questioning and a faith that's unraveling.

Plus, why the answer to deconstruction might just come down to discipleship.
