  1. Where Motherhood Meets the Heart of God with Elizabeth Berget

    Where Motherhood Meets the Heart of God with Elizabeth Berget

    In this episode of Theology on Purpose, Sarah talks with Elizabeth Berget, author of Love Like a Mother, about how the sacred, everyday work of motherhood can reveal the heart of God. Together, they explore how Scripture holds both paternal and maternal imagery for God—inviting us into a richer, more expansive understanding of who He is and how He meets us in our daily lives. Elizabeth shares how seeing God through a maternal lens transformed her own faith, especially in the demanding early years of motherhood, reframing ordinary moments as meaningful encounters with God's presence. In this episode, you'll hear: How maternal imagery for God is rooted in Scripture Why seeing God as both Father and Mother deepens our theology How motherhood can be a context for spiritual formation—not a barrier Encouragement for releasing guilt around spiritual disciplines in busy seasons What foster and adoptive motherhood reveal about God's love and attachment A fresh perspective on interruptions as invitations to encounter God Get the show notes here Take the Connect with God quiz here

    Holding Onto God When Our Plans Fall Apart

    Sometimes the plans we build so carefully unravel in an instant, leaving us holding disappointment we didn't see coming. In this episode, I share a personal story of unexpected change and reflect on Mark 2, where Jesus responds in a way no one anticipated. Tune in as we consider what it looks like to trust God in the middle of unmet expectations and to believe He is at work in ways that are deeper (and better!) than we can see.

    Rethinking Faith Without Losing It with Kate Boyd

    Kate Boyd joins Theology on Purpose to talk about her book An Untidy Faith and the real-life experiences that reshaped how she understands God, church, and discipleship. Drawing from her global travels and seasons of questioning, Kate shares how faith can be stretched without being lost—and how disentangling what we've been taught can lead to a deeper, more integrated life with God. In this episode, we explore the tension between certainty and curiosity, and what it looks like to hold onto Jesus while reexamining long-held beliefs. Kate offers a hopeful vision for those navigating doubt, deconstruction, or spiritual transition, reminding us that this work—though often painful—is also deeply formational. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between doubling down, demolishing, and disentangling your faith How to navigate seasons of doubt without walking away from God Why humility, curiosity, and empathy are essential for a mature faith How spiritual practices can evolve in seasons of questioning A healthier, more relational approach to evangelism How to rediscover joy and authenticity in your walk with Jesus Get the show notes here Take the Connect with God Quiz here

In this episode, you'll learn: How to reframe labels like "shy" and "quiet" as strengths, not limitations What true confidence in Christ looks like (beyond personality or performance) How to recognize and challenge your "inner bully" Practical ways to take thoughts captive and root your identity in God's truth Why your presence and words matter more than you think How God can use you right where you are, even if you feel unseen Find the show notes here: https://sarahkbutterfield.substack.com/s/podcast Take the Connect with God Quiz here: https://connectwithgodquiz.com/

    Why Justice Matters in the Christian Faith

    Why do we feel such a strong reaction when something unfair happens, even something small? That instinct for justice may actually point us to the heart of God. In this solo episode of Theology on Purpose, I explore what the Bible really means by justice. Looking at passages from Amos, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and John, we'll discover that God's justice isn't only about punishment—it's about restoration, renewal, and bringing life to broken places. And through the Spirit, God invites us to participate in that work right where we are! Take the Connect with God quiz here: https://connectwithgodquiz.com/
