Adira chats with brother-sister filmmaking duo Noah and Jenna Sue Bennett. For years now, Adira has been watching the Bennetts craft their forthcoming short ANTI (produced alongside The Chosen's Justen Overlander!!), which chronicles the life and temptations of the Antichrist. WHY the Antichrist? In this episode, the Bennetts explain their motivations, and what the Antichrist's humanity means for the rest of us.

I've received a number of interview pitches, but Mason Skaggs sent me one of the wildest pitches I’ve ever read:

“I started using drugs at 14 years old and began worshipping Satan shortly afterward. I eventually got to the point where I had a new sexual partner about every week, sold ounces of cocaine, used heroin and meth and a slew of other drugs daily, and continued worshipping demons for power and fame. I had supernatural experiences regularly. I am skipping a lot of details, but I ended up having an overdose that changed everything.” Needless to say, I responded to that email and I’m so glad I did.



Though Mason’s story is a jaw-dropper, it’s not just that. Ultimately, it’s a picture of how grief, abuse, and cultish theology led a young boy to go his own way — until he finally found his way back into the arms of his loving and impossibly patient Savior.

In 2008, Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi tragically lost her fiancé Jeff. The immensity of Gretchen's grief led her into a long season of anger toward God -- but as she shares in this interview, God could handle it. Not only was the Lord capable of sticking near to Gretchen in that season — He also had a redemptive plan.

In this episode, Gretchen and host Adira Polite revisit Gretchen's decision to join the Housewives franchise, the CHAOS that ensued, and how God used it all to prove Himself faithful. They discuss the media's potentially godly and demonic influences (and the need to guard your heart!!), God's use of suffering to produce character, the true meaning of surrender, and the importance of documenting your answered prayers.

Outspoken de-transitioner Laura Perry recounts the childhood sexual trauma that resulted in lifelong hyper-sexuality, pornography addiction, and persistent gender confusion. As you’ll hear, Laura went to great lengths to overcome her dysphoria, including a full mastectomy and hysterectomy. Yet, Laura’s mental battle raged on and on and on…until God moved. This is the miraculous story of an unexpected, deep-healing transformation made possible in Jesus Christ.

Having grown up with few financial means, Erica Hardy has long dreamed of making her own way. But since exchanging crystals and yoga for Jesus and prayer, Erica has undergone a massive heart and mind transformation... and with that has come a renewed vision of "success." So what is healthy, God-honoring ambition? And how does it differ from the ambition of the world?



In this episode, Adira and Erica discuss Erica's new age past (which included strange rituals involving menstrual blood...), her decision to marry her husband the week she met him, her hard-won victory over limiting thought loops (spoiler: it was won by Jesus), and how we can confidently work "as to the Lord and not to men" (Colossians 3:23).
