Stoop Theology S1 Episode 17: What Makes Relationships Hard?  
When we talk about relationships, the word "baggage" comes up a lot, but what does it actually mean?  
In this episode, we talk about 4 things we all bring into relationships: sins, weaknesses, wounds, and damages, how they differ, and a biblical framework for navigating them well.  
Guest: Jessica Rice  
Stoop Theology is a series rooted in honest, thoughtful conversations about real-life questions. From faith and doubt to culture, justice, relationships, and everyday struggles, we explore what it looks like to wrestle with life and belief—like neighbors talking it out on a stoop. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.  
Hosted by Jordan Rice

John 5:1-9
Sometimes we are in situations in life where we feel hopeless. We actually don’t believe that we can change nor can the situation. When Jesus visits the man waiting at the pool of Bethesda, He comes to bring deep transformation. He heals him and tells him to pick up his mat and walk. He is no longer known as an invalid, he is known as a regular part of society. We are the invalid and Jesus comes to us asking “Do we want to get well?” Knowing that the deep transformation of hopeless situations awaits!
