To wrap up our limited series podcast, we bring together threads from across the conversation: family, politics, belonging, and the stories we tell about what makes a life “good.”

Drawing from our own experiences in evangelical spaces, we talk about how our formation shapes the way we show up in hard conversations today.

At the heart of this episode is an invitation to build a life that reflects your actual values, not just inherited or aspirational ones. 

This season has been about learning how to live and relate in complicated times with integrity, curiosity, and care.

Thanks for listening from the Side Aisle. 

A special thanks to all of our paid subscribers on Substack for making it possible for us to have these kinds of conversations. Thanks, too, to Dan Koch for the music and Nate Sahr for audio engineering.
