We’re low key thrilled to introduce the Still Christian Podcast’s fifth season! Church Kidz: Where Are They Now? follows the stories of ordinary Evangelical church kids who grew up going to Sunday school. As adults, they’re wrestling with how to appreciate their childhood faith heritage while embracing the new thing God is doing in their lives and churches.

If you find yourself having grown up in the American Evangelical church and also wanting to experience more breadth and depth to your faith, you’re not alone. Each author and ministry leader featured in Season 5 offers a unique perspective on what it looks like to live out authentic faith in today’s spiritual and cultural climate.

More than anything, we hope these stories inspire you tokeep pressing in to Jesus—the source and goal of our faith.

So buckle up, Church Kidz. . . there are beautiful things ahead.

On this final episode of the Embodied Faith series, Sarah and Katie reflect on what they’ve learned about how to live out their faith in a more embodied way with God, self, and others. Our bodies are messy and fragile, but they are also vessels that beautifully reflect the glory and goodness of God.

Season 5 set to premiere January 2026!

What does the way our bodies function tell us about God’s design for humanity? We invite you to pull up a chair as Sarah, Katie, and reproductive health nurse Lindsey explore what it looks like to celebrate the goodness of God by learning to embrace the body in all its complexity.

Although many who grew up in Western Evangelical circles were taught to be suspicious of the body, this episode is a gentle, corrective invitation into holy curiosity regarding the body's beautiful design.

Topics covered:

• The role of community in faith and health

• Women's reproductive cycles exemplifying rhythms of exertion and rest
• Misconceptions in women's health education

In this special episode, we interview author Liz Charlotte Grant about her new book, Knock at the Sky. Together we wonder,

-Is it possible to have a view of the Bible that's authoritative but not authoritarian?

-Is doubt a problem, or could it be the place we meet the God who's been seeking us all along?

-What does it look like to love and know God in and through our imperfect bodies?

For those seeking a revivifying way to relate to the Bible and the God we find in its pages, listen, lean in, and be refreshed.

Join us as we explore what it means to bring our minds and our bodies into our faith.
