April 21, 2021 XXX Church and Purity Culture | with PJ Gal-Szabo
EPISODE 20
I had the opportunity to sit down with filmmaker, father-to-be, and former XXX Church employee, PJ Gal-Szabo, to have a conversation about the harmful and toxic narratives of purity culture. This was a really healing and restorative conversation for both of us and PJ has so much wisdom and insight to offer throughout the episode.
Note: This is a very honest and vulnerable conversation around some pretty sensitive issues. So for those of you who have trauma around purity culture, be advised and please listen with discretion.

March 31, 2021 Where Does Your Support Money Go?
In our 18th episode, we’re talking about a few of the non-profits and partnerships that we support and are involved with here in Spokane. Since we are bivocational (only work at a church part time), we raise support to supplement our income. We thought we'd give our listeners a little glimpse into our vision for support raising and some of the organizations we love to partner with in our city.

February 09, 2021 Power, Privilege, and Toxic Theology
In our 16th episode, we’re talking about how our power and privilege can often lead to toxic theology and bad Bible reading. We'll look at how Jesus leveraged his power and privilege for the inclusion, affirmation, freedom, healing, salvation, and liberation for the people who were most marginalized, oppressed, abused, and rejected by society. Joseph shares a little bit about his journey with toxic theology and offers a few questions for those who might still currently hold to various forms of toxic theology, doctrine, or hermeneutics.

February 03, 2021 2021 Rule of Life
In our 15th episode, we’re talking about our 2021 Rule of Life and answering the question “who am I becoming by what I am doing.” Our rule of life is a schedule and set of habits and relational rhythms that help us create space to be present to ourselves, God, and others, as we learn to abide in Jesus and become the best version of ourself. Essentially, it helps us dismantle my destructive rhythms and routines that prohibit us from pursuing life to the full and helps us live in alignment with our deepest passions, desires, and priorities In this episode, we both share a few of our goals for 2021 and give some tips on how to develop your own rule of life.
