November 08, 2023 My Sister Is 23 And Never Had A Boyfriend?
Let's talk dating.
Normalizing not dating.

Let's normalize, not looking at all.
Let's have fun and talk book crushes. Hopes. Dreams. And mistakes we made along the way.

October 19, 2023 Should Women Be Pastors? (Please Don't Hate Me)
This is by no means a perfect episode. I stumbled in my words a little (corrected in the final part of the episode). I said Jesus wrote the Bible but I meant it was inspired by God. *face palm*
I'm human. I pray before each episode that I make sense in my fallible humanness.
But a few months ago, I was asked on my Instagram to share what I learned when I researched if women should be pastors or should churches have women in leadership positions in the church. Please don't hate me after this and let's still be friends regardless of what you believe. *proceeds to hide until you've listened*
Love you guys!

May 01, 2022 This One Is For The [Unhappy] Singles Like Me
I'm 23 and I've been single most of my life, but recently, I've really let go of a LOT of anxiety circling around my singleness and it has been so freeing. So sit back with a cup of iced coffee (or tea) for an episode about some cringe-worthy guy stuff I've experienced, as well as how I'm attempting to live my best single life possible.

Kara's:
Backstory: Don't let this being from a Christian perspective fool you! World News, in my opinion, honestly does strive to give facts and not just opinion. I have seen articles both for and against the vaccine, neutral thoughts (and only facts) on political campaigns, etc, showing that they do not carry just one opinion and strive to give readers both sides of an argument. I truly appreciate them and the money to get their magazine is so worth it!
