Chris and Steph were high school sweethearts who were "following all the steps that the typical southern church would have spelled out." They got married in college and everything seemed to be fine, even great. But Chris began to have doubts that didn't align with his view of faith. This episode is a conversation about Chris and Steph's journey through peaks and valleys related to faith, marriage (and divorce/remarriage), fear, freedom, and authentic community.

God calls his followers to live a life of sexual integrity (see 1 Thes. 4:1-8). Sometimes this is also stated in the phrase "sexual purity," which gets a lot of bad press -- even in the church. In this episode, our guest Jasper Hall, president of Pure Hope, helps us understand God's greater story of sex, how to reframe what it means to be "pure," and how we can better reflect the holiness and purity of Christ.

We say all the time that our deepest need is to be known and loved. But when it comes to being known, how well do you know yourself? Are you knowable? How do you really "know" yourself in order that others too might know you and love you?

In this episode, we share and analyze one man's story to help you understand how to "map" your own emotional system to get a clearer picture of who you are. This message is about hope and growth. Dive in with us to go deeper with yourself and others.

(While this episode focuses on men, the principles can apply to everyone.)

We all live with a core fear of some kind, a belief deep in our soul that states we aren't worthy or that we will be rejected or make a mistake and fail (and more; core fears are personal). Ultimately, core fear drives you to believe that others won't like you and they would reject you if they really knew you. In this episode, we brainstorm (on air) 50(ish) things to do when your core fear gets triggered. There is hope for responding to core fear in healthy ways and we want to model for you an exercise that can help you do this well.
