  • Tasha + Moses: Leading From the Middle
    In this episode of Faith Between the Lines, we explore what it means to lead when you don’t feel qualified, prepared, or positioned for the role. Through the stories of Moses in Scripture and Tasha St. Patrick from Power, we dive into the tension of carrying responsibility you didn’t ask for, guiding people who don’t always see your value, and showing up in places where you feel unseen.
    We unpack their parallel journeys — Moses’ reluctance, Tasha’s resilience, and the quiet strength found in leaders who stand in the middle. Whether you’re navigating family, work, ministry, or personal transition, this episode reminds you that God equips you even when you’re unsure, overwhelmed, or overlooked.
    If you’ve ever felt stuck between expectation and exhaustion, calling and insecurity, or purpose and pressure — this conversation speaks directly to you. Tune in and be encouraged as you discover the truth that God uses middle leaders in mighty ways.

    We break down their journeys, highlight the spiritual lessons in their transformation, and reflect on how God uses conflict, discomfort, and change to rename us and redirect us.

  • Annalise + Deborah: The Weight of Wisdom
    Wisdom looks good from the outside — but carrying it? That’s a whole different story.
    In this episode of Faith Between the Lines, we’re sitting with two powerful women who know what it means to lead under pressure: Deborah, the prophetess and judge from the Book of Judges, and Annalise Keating, the complex, brilliant lawyer from How to Get Away with Murder.
    Both women lead with strength and strategy, yet both know the loneliness and weight that come with being the one everyone turns to. Through their stories, we’ll talk about the tension between calling and capacity, the price of discernment, and the peace that comes when you let God hold what you’ve been carrying alone.
    This episode is for the strong ones — the steady ones — the people who lead from empty places and still show up.
    It’s for anyone who’s ever whispered, “Lord, I know what You told me to do, but this is heavy.”
    ✨ Tune in as we unpack what it really means to carry wisdom with grace, courage, and trust.

  • Zacchaeus + Paper Boi: Seen From The Sycamore
    What happens when the need to be seen leaves you climbing for clarity? In this episode of Faith Between the Lines, we look at Zacchaeus — the tax collector who climbed a sycamore tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus — and Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles from Atlanta, a rapper climbing the ladder of fame but losing sight of himself along the way.
    Through their stories, we unpack what it really means to be seen versus just visible, and how Jesus meets us right where we are — even in the trees we’ve built to feel important.
    🎧 Tune in for a powerful conversation about identity, visibility, and grace that reminds us:
    You don’t have to climb higher to be seen by God — you just have to come down and let Him call your name.
