    Ep 182: Why Playing Both Sides Is Costing You (ft. Hailey Julia)

    Hailey Julia grew up in a Christian home, said all the right things, and still found herself fully split, faith in one hand, the world in the other. In this conversation, she talks honestly about what it looks like to know something is true and still not live like it. She peaks on the loneliness that builds when you isolate yourself and wait for community to find you instead of going after it and the night at Pepperdine when she sat on a dorm room floor, said it out loud, and went all in.Since then, God has taken her from timid to bold in ways she can't explain. She hosted a group of women she barely knew on a faith-rooted trip to Bali. She walked onto a stage at a revival in Texas with no notes and felt the Holy Spirit carry every word. She built Bible Buddies, a kids' plush toy business born from a midnight vision, grounded in Hebrews 4:12.This episode is for anyone who knows the pull. Who's been running at half strength and wondering why nothing feels settled.Hailey Julia is a Christian content creator, entrepreneur, speaker, and world traveler based in New York City. She leads faith-rooted group travel experiences and creates content that mixes conviction with comedy.

    Ep 180: Why Growing Up Religious Isn't Enough (ft. Alex Quist)

    Knowing the rules doesn't mean you know God. Alex Quist spent years doing everything right but missing God.Most people who grew up in church know how to perform faith. They know the prayers, what to avoid, how to look like a believer around believers. What they often don't know is what it feels like when faith stops being performance and becomes real.Alex Quist lived both sides. This episode is about what flipped it: a junior year of college, a community whose joy didn't add up, and a slow realization that knowing about God and knowing God are not the same thing.Recorded live in Jerusalem during a week-long trip through Israel's holy sites, Alex and Doug also discuss marriage, fatherhood, what a toddler charging at an electrical outlet has to do with trusting God, standing at the Mount of Beatitudes, Bible open, tracing three chapters of Scripture across the actual landscape where they happened, Alex says, “these aren't Bible stories, they're Bible events. The evidence is everywhere.”This conversation is grounded in the conviction that Jesus is real, community is essential, and the gospel is genuinely good news.
