February 09, 2024 44. If I Had to Do It All Over Again: Misti Hallum
If you've been away from church for some time, this one is for you. Over the course of the coming year we intend to be releasing episodes featuring the stories of church people, who haven't exactly always been "church people." Maybe they stepped away, maybe they were never really in it. But somehow they made the radical shift from the outside to the inside. Today we feature the story of Misti Hallum, and her journey from being the "backslidden, divorced girl" to the pastor's right hand lady who is a "Mountain Mover!"

February 01, 2023 42. Why so Weird?
Simon Sinek introduced the concept of "The Golden Circle" in his book and TED Talk about starting with Why. Typically when trying to share a concept we tell what it is, maybe even how to do it, but if we really want to change things we have to consider why. Today I'm sharing a bit about why it is that the central statement of our show is true, "Church people are weird." Or at the very least I'll tell you why this particular member of the church community is.

January 25, 2023 41. Peculiar Process: Can We Stick with It?
Since December it seems this podcast has slipped off schedule. If you follow my other show, Reality Speaks, you'll notice a similar pattern. This isn't an unusual pattern this time of year. What's up with that? Can it be fixed? Let's talk about that.
