Friendship is more than just having people to do things with — it’s a gift from God. In this episode, we explore the deeper meaning of friendship and why authentic connections are becoming especially essential in our current world. Tune in to hear our conversation.

We’re back from our summer hiatus with a very important topic. Church is supposed to be a place where people encounter grace, community and the love of Christ. But what happens when the very place that was supposed to help you heal is the place that actually ends up hurting you? If you’ve been part of a church community, chances are, you’ve experienced some level of hurt, whether it be from a trusted friend or even a leader. So how should we respond when someone tells us they’ve been hurt by the church? How do we hold others accountable for their mistakes? And perhaps, most importantly, how do we move on and separate the failures of Christians from the perfect love and character of Jesus? Tune in to hear Peter and Suah’s conversation.

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.
