The Misfit Messengers Podcast

We’re back for Episode 151! This week, Jenny and Amanda are tackling a topic that often gets misunderstood, avoided, or just plain done wrong: Fasting.

If you’ve ever thought fasting was just a "spiritual hunger strike" to get God’s attention, think again! We’re diving deep into Isaiah 58, where God pulls no punches about what kind of fast He actually wants. Spoiler alert: It’s less about skipping lunch and much more about breaking chains.

Big milestone alert! We’ve hit the big 1-5-0, and to celebrate, Amanda and Jenny are getting back together for a deep dive into one of the most personal corners of the New Testament: The Book of Philemon.

It’s short, it’s sweet, and it was originally just a private letter—but it packed such a punch for the early Church that it became Scripture! We’re looking at how a messy situation between a runaway slave and his master became the ultimate blueprint for restored relationships.

Whether you're dealing with a friendship fallout or just love a good redemption story, this one is for you. Let’s celebrate 150 episodes together!

Ever felt completely overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of God? We’ve all been there! This week, we are diving into the breathtaking scene in Isaiah Chapter 6.

We’re breaking down the prophet Isaiah’s life-changing encounter with the Almighty—think high-flying seraphim, shaky foundations, and a serious realization of human frailty. It’s a powerful look at what it truly means to encounter Holiness, and more importantly: How are we supposed to respond?

This week, we’re cracking open Romans Chapter 6 for a dive into one of the most paradoxical, challenging, and ultimately freeing concepts in the New Testament: what it actually means to be a "slave to Christ."

It sounds heavy, but trust us—it’s a game-changer. We’re breaking down the shift from being "slaves to sin" to finding true life under the "mastery" of Grace and how being "bound" to Christ is actually where real liberty starts.

Hey friends! The wait is over—we are officially back in your ears! To kick things off, we’re taking a little trip back in time. These next three episodes were actually recorded during the heat of the summer, but don’t let the "back-dated" status fool you—the energy is fresh, and we are officially back in the studio recording new content as we speak. Get ready for some (hopefully!) great topics and even better conversation.

We’re diving into the deep end with our first episode, and we brought backup! We sat down in person with our awesome friends, Andy and Corey Wheeler, at The Salvation Army’s Central Bible Leadership Institute (CBLI).

Together, we’re unpacking the Book of Philippians—finding joy, perspective, and maybe a few laughs along the way.

Thank you for your patience. This summer has created quite a challenge to our ability to record, edit, and publish episodes for the podcast. 

In today's episode, we chat about grace. How does our understanding of grace change over time? As we grow in faith and maturity, how do we deepen or adjust how we show and receive grace?

How do you understand the character of God—do you see Him more as just, loving, both? That's the question we tackle in today's episode. And how do we live out the understanding of God's character?

In today's episode, we talk about radical stories of answered prayer inspired by Jenny's reading of Dirty Glory by Peter Greig. What does your prayer life look like? What does following Jesus mean to you? What does it look like?

A foundational building block to building a relationship with Jesus is prayer. What is a wild story of GOD's answering prayer in your life?

The clothes make the man is a long-used phrase. Does it matter what we wear? Throughout the Bible, there are many references to clothes, not just physical ones, but spiritual and metaphorical ones as well. In today's episode we chat about a few different images of clothing through the Bible.
