  • 38: How Do We Engage in the Fight for Equality?
    Kathryn and Alli interview Christina Carter, a single black mother of two children who uses her voice to fight for diversity and inclusion for everyone in the room.

    Christina shares with us the heart she has for dance and using movement to praise and worship as a ministry. She also talks about how she felt compelled to join a protest to protect the sanctity of black lives. Topics we address: How do we talk to our kids about diversity? Where do we start to engage in the fight for diversity?

    Our favorite quote from Christina from this episode: "All of our blood is red, we are all children of God."

  • 33: Dayna Voetberg / Is there even such thing as "mediocre"?
    Dayna Voetberg shares her experience of finding and walking with Jesus! We admire her fresh take on learning what it meant to follow Christ in college (this is a perfect epi. for those just headed off to study), getting connected in community again after graduation (here's to you newly grads!). We also chat a lot about social media, and how it plays into our mental state of viewing our every day as "mediocre", when in fact, if we've decided to follow Jesus, we can expect anything BUT that. He promises us the abundant life. Please enjoy this story of faith!
