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
