In today’s episode we dive into our post-election reflections. It’s been a few months since the re-election of Donald Trump as President and we have lots of thoughts, reactions and reflections. The biggest one being why would someone vote for Trump?

This episode is dedicated to processing these events, communicating what we’ve seen, and sharing our thoughts on the matter. Using the bible as our foundation we are still struggling to see how so many people of faith have idolized this man. 

While we don’t want this to be a rant, that won’t exclude us from authentically sharing our emotions, concerns, and observations. We are human; make space for grace. 

What we’re going to cover:

Initial reactions and how we feel now

Why would someone vote for Trump? Why did so many vote for him?

Identity politics

Pro-life, the economy, immigration, Christian values oh my!

In today’s episode, we dive into one of our favorite topics: Politics. It’s crucial to seek the Lord’s heart and Word when it comes to any topic, especially one as controversial as politics. Which is why our intention with this episode was not a focus on endorsing a candidate or party (we didn’t mention any candidates names at all, actually), but to explore Biblical principles on politics. Here, we take a deep dive into servant-leadership, the political parties during Jesus’ time, and what are the principles that we are called to uphold as followers of Jesus. 

What we’re going to cover 

Bible verses referenced (NT = New Testament, OT = Old Testament):

In today’s episode we focus on Dana’s journey: leaving her profession as an educator to pursue art-making full-time. Being a high school art teacher was hard, but being a solopreneur is even harder. 

Here’s some topics covered: 

While we recognize the system of education has much to improve upon for the sake of students and teachers alike, we will always value the work, dedication, and sacrifices of educators and school leadership. 

We also know that God will take us on unique journeys through different seasons that don’t make sense in the moment. However, it’s not our job to know, it’s to trust and be obedient to Him who does.

In today’s episode we talk about Tania’s career journey and when she knew it was time to leave her corporate job of 10 years despite not having another one lined up. This is a personal story of surrender, obedience and complete trust in God when you don’t know what’s next.  Some of the topics covered in this episode are: 

Some of the scripture we get into can be found in Proverbs where it talks about revenge, retaliation, dwelling and the four tongues: 

Proverbs 25:13 

Proverbs 25:21-22 

Proverbs 25:27 

Jehová Jirah: God is my provider

Jehová Nissi: God is our victory
