Sadie, her mom Korie, and her husband Christian all tackle a messy conversation about cussing. Is it okay for Christians to ever cuss? What about replacement cuss words—is that okay? And ultimately, is any cussing a sin? What about cussing in movies or music? And swearing an oath? Sadie, Korie, and Christian dive into the Scriptures to read what God has provided to us as a guide. Topics like this are brimming with nuance and even cultural differences, depending on where you are in the world. So wherever you land in this conversation, remember that extending grace and reserving judgment is a great way to start! And never forget the power of the tongue—it can be a weapon or used for good!

Bethany explains that talking about the worst day of her life—when a shark attacked her, and she lost her arm—was perhaps the best thing for her in processing the horrific trauma. Sadie asks Bethany how she was able to face her fear of sharks and return to the water. Bethany encourages everyone to face their fears—just do it! Then, Adam and Bethany share some behind-the-scenes details about their season on The Amazing Race (Season 25) and how they almost didn't make the initial cut!
