Welcome back to Moms With A Call, where real stories meet real faith.

In this thoughtful and deeply respectful conversation, McKenzie and Rebecca sit down with Mattie Mae Motl, a PhD candidate at the University of St. Andrews whose work focuses on gender and sexuality in the New Testament. Mattie Mae brings both scholarly insight and personal vulnerability as she shares her journey from growing up Southern Baptist to walking through faith deconstruction alongside her atheist husband.

Mattie Mae gently challenges surface-level interpretations, emphasizing the role of love, inclusion, and humility when engaging with difficult or debated texts.

Rather than offering easy answers, this conversation makes space for curiosity, questions, and compassion. Together, they explore how faith can evolve, how parenting shapes our spiritual lens, and how God’s presence remains even in seasons of deconstruction and reimagining belief.

This episode is for anyone who has wrestled with Scripture, felt tension between belief and lived experience, or longed for conversations that honor both faith and complexity.

In this intimate late-night episode, McKenzie reflects on a year marked by spiritual warfare, internal tension, and the slow unraveling of control.

This conversation explores what it looks like to release control to God, confront deeply rooted fears, and allow healing to happen at a soul level.

A pivotal encounter with a spirit portrait artist becomes a moment of clarity and confirmation, illuminating the unseen spiritual work happening beneath the surface and affirming a connection to God that transcends language and logic. The episode closes with a vision for a coming Connection Year, a season devoted to deeper alignment with self, community, and God.
