Forgive Me Father John Adams

In the Confession Booth this week is Patty Mata aka Jesus Ate Too. We talk about turning society expectations and judgments on body image into a healthy perspective to love self. Patty shares how to shift our perspectives, I get vulnerable with my body dysmorphia, and AJ came prepared with a scripture?! Come listen and if you want to get to know Patty more, she's available on Instagram @jesusatetoo or her email is jesusatetoo@gmail.com

Part 2 with our friend Katie Grimes! We've got the advice portion as well as a little something extra for you long time fans - a rant from yours truly about Pitbull and DJ Khaled. Come listen to us wrap things up nicely then unravel out of character with some shenanigans!

Being positive when things are going poorly is a great quality, but too much positivity can become dismissive. Katie Grimes is in The Confession Booth this week and next to discuss the dangers of Toxic Positivity. We discuss the dangers of always saying "God's got you" or "Just be faithful", as well as why Katie doesn't have a sense of smell. If you have any questions or want to talk with Katie more she is available through email at katie.grimes13@gmail.com or Instagram at Katerrss. And as always, follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date!

A sense of community is one of the greatest strengths to any group of people and church is no exception. It can be great for holding each other accountable and growing together, but does that Christian love stay when someone leaves Christianity? Allen Kittrell is in The Confession Booth to discuss how Jesus' love shouldn't be conditional to church attendance. If you have any questions for Allen or want to talk more, he is available at kittrellallen9@gmail.com and also on Instagram at @kittrell_4. And as always follow us on Instagram and Facebook!

"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation..." but does that mean we have to lose our sense of self? Cat Castillo is in the Confession Booth to discuss her journey to embracing her true self and authenticity, even though it meant leaving church culture. We discuss the pressures she felt, when she knew it was time to leave, and how others can best help friends who are going through something similar. If you want to contact Cat, she is available on Instagram and Twitter, @catcastillo_, and don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook if you want to reach out to AJ and me!

What does it mean to be a man of God? Well, the men God chose and the ones society tells us to be are in contrast. DeZavier Dewberry sits in the Confession Booth this week to tell us his experiences with a toxic standard of men. We discuss how mental health and taking care of one's hygiene has been twisted into being less of a man within a church that should be looking at how God sees us, not society. If you want to get in touch with DeZavier, you can reach him via email at dza.talks@gmial.com.
