Welcome to the very first episode of Moms With A Call, a podcast for the ones who’ve been judged, wounded, or just worn out by religion. Hosted by McKenzie and Rebecca, two moms with messy stories and hearts hungry for more, this is a space where faith is explored with honesty, curiosity, and compassion.

In this debut episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on why we started this podcast, what we’ve walked through, and why “surrender” is the heartbeat of Season One. Whether you're deep in the trenches of motherhood, deconstructing faith, or just looking for a soft place to land, this table was set with you in mind.

We talk about:

Why we believe presence matters more than perfection

The stories and struggles that led us to say “yes” to this call

What it means to wrestle with God and still belong

The sacredness of testimony and why we’re not here to preach

What to expect from our first season, Surrender, and the special Midnight Series

This is your invitation to pull up a chair, take a breath, and feel a little less alone.
