To find an amazing friend is one thing, but to actively work to become an intentional friend yourself is another thing entirely. So, today I recruited the best person I could think of to discuss this with...my best friend Brooke (aka the world's greatest)! We dig into the best and worst moments of our own friendship, the time where it almost ended, how we came back stronger, and the exact steps we took to build the unbreakable and incredibly intentional friendship we have today. May have cried in this episode. Guess you'll have to listen to know for sure.

How exactly can we navigate a conversation about our faith with someone who vehemently disagrees, or has a very different opinion? Kind of intimidating right? Today I brought in truly one of the best, and it's my very own brother! As a Christian apologist, he has literally traveled the world doing this exact thing -- having incredible conversations about Christianity/Jesus with people of different faith backgrounds (or no faith backgrounds at all). In this episode, he is here to give you hyper-practical ways in which you can discuss your faith with someone who doesn't agree, and have an amazing conversation as a result! These are actionable steps that you can take and use TODAY in your own life!

What is discussed in this episode:
-What is Christian Apologetics?
-Is God real?
-Is Christianity true?
-What evidence is there for God's existence?
-How can I talk about faith with someone who doesn't believe in God or agree with me?
-How can I have a conversation about faith if I don't know much about the bible?
-Bonus Q&A speed round between my mom and brother
...and much more!

We are back with PART 2! Continuing our conversation on "How to Be Content and Happy While Single," Lou and I now dive even deeper in this second part to more nuanced facets of singleness. We discuss shame, regret, temptation, how married/dating friends can best support their single friends, and what the gospel actually means for us. Oh, AND Lou answers questions YOU asked! Sit back, relax and enjoy, as Lou and I try and address every possible angle of this "singleness" conversation.

Lou Phillips is a global speaker, and he also has been single for these past 29 years of his life, which is why he is the absolutely perfect friend to have this important conversation with!

He's a global speaker, and he also has been single for these past 29 years of his life. I couldn't think of a better person to sit down with and discuss practical ways in which people can learn to be not only content, but joyful and happy in their "singleness"...for however long that is, whether it be temporary, or for a lifetime. My friend Lou Phillips and I get extremely candid about our experiences being single for so long, and in this episode (Part 1 of a 2 part series), we try and address every possible angle of the "singleness" conversation.

If you're married, this conversation is also for you, as we address ways in which not only married couples/dating couples can improve, but also what the church can do better to help the single people out there. HINT: It's NOT to try and set us up.

If you've ever been to, or even associated with a church before, there is a high chance you have experienced "church hurt." It's the act of being hurt by someone in a church. It's an important conversation to have, and in this episode, Mackenzie and I (Zoe) are going to share our own personal experiences navigating church hurt, between one another, and how we have learned to heal from deep wounds we caused, and wounds that were given to us as well.

Someone "stole my idea". Well, technically I let them. It's confusing, I know. In this short bonus episode, I share what happened, and how a recent conversation with a friend brought this moment back to my memory. I have since learned what the brain is trying to tell us when we are afraid, and how we should handle it.
