Just because we love our spouses and are happy to be their life partners does not mean that we coast through life with zero friction of conflict. Even the healthiest and happiest of marriages experience disagreements and arguments. Some would even argue that the presence of disagreements and arguments actually are symptoms that the relationship is healthy! In this week’s episode, Peter and Suah delve into some of the lessons they have learned while “fighting” with their spouses and take a look at what it means to “fight well.”

This week’s episode was inspired by Suah’s recent readings of the major prophets and the recurring theme of God being the only source of hope for His people. As Christians, we often speak of God or Jesus being our only hope and our ultimate hope, but what does this actually mean in reality? How does putting our hope in God impact the way we live our lives? Tune in to hear this week’s conversation.

One of the gravest errors we can make as Christians is to believe that spiritual formation only happens when we’re paying attention. Spiritual formation is happening all around us, all of the time, whether we are aware of it or not. According to surveys, the average person spends approximately 2.5 to 4 hours of their day browsing social media. How does the personally curated and tailored content that we consume on the daily affect our inner spiritual worlds? Tune in to hear Peter and Suah’s conversation.

This week’s conversation is just Peter and Suah talking about new things that they’ve been learning. The topics are broad and the attention spans short, but we think God’s been teaching us some good stuff these past few weeks. Tune in to listen!

We have an awesome guest with us this week! Jerome Dillard is Executive Director and one of the Founders of EXPO (Ex-Prisoners Organizing). In this episode, he shares his incredible story of incarceration, re-entry and God’s redemptive work in his life. He also shares about the work that he champions through EXPO, an organization that seeks to end mass incarceration, eliminate all forms of structural discrimination against formerly incarcerated people, and restore formerly incarcerated people to full participation in the life of our communities.

Tune in for an episode you won’t forget.

Every day, we are bombarded with advertisements for products that promise a better life. Social Media paints everyone’s grass as greener than our own. We know that the tenth commandment tells us that we “shall not covet,” but is it actually possible to live without “wanting?” Is the desire for things actually a sin? This week, Peter and Suah discuss their own thoughts on this commandment and what they believe it actually means.

I’m sure many of you, whether on t-shirts or inspirational wall decor, have come across this idea of “faith over fear.” This idea that fear is the result of insufficient faith is very common-place, but in a world full of uncertainty, how can one go through life without experiencing fear at all? How can we reconcile these two concepts? How should a Christian understand faith and fear? Tune in to this week’s episode to get our takes.

This week, we have one of our favorite guests ever - Pastor Nancy Sugikawa - back on the show to continue her story where we left off. It was a real cliffhanger when we ended Part I, so we could not wait any longer to air this second part. We just want to say: this is the stuff of k-dramas. Of course, because it’s Pastor Nancy, there is plenty of sage insight and words of grace. You do not want to miss this!

One of the most common questions that we often received as children or young adults was “What do you want to be when you grow up?” And it’s not surprising that this should be such a frequently-asked question given that most of us spend a huge portion of our lives “at work.” But what is the biblical view of “work,” and is the occupation we choose for ourselves our actual “calling” in the faith? How do work and faith come together? Tune in to get Peter and Suah’s takes.

We have a very very special guest this week, and yes, we realize we say this all the time, but we really really really mean it. Pastor Nancy Sugikawa brings over thirty years of pastoral ministry experience, having served the local church through seasons of leadership, discipleship, and spiritual formation. She currently serves as a Discipleship Consultant for the Northwest Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church, partnering with pastors and congregations to cultivate healthy, sustainable discipleship pathways and vibrant spiritual growth.

In this week’s episode, we get a glimpse into her walk and accompanying dialogue with Jesus, with a special emphasis on life as a single person throughout her first few decades. You do not want to miss this episode!
