    Sacred, Not Shameful

    This week on Rooted and Raw, we step into a conversation many avoid but desperately need: How do we reclaim healthy conversations about sex in Christian spaces? For too long, silence, shame, and confusion have shaped the narrative—but what if God’s design was always meant to be discussed with truth, wisdom, and grace? In this episode, we unpack cultural messages, church experiences, and biblical perspective as we seek healing, clarity, and restoration. Because when we bring hidden topics into the light, freedom begins—and real growth can take root.

    Let’s Talk About It: Women, Ministry, and the Bible

    We’re going there this week on Rooted and Raw. The question: Can women lead in ministry? The deeper question: How do we wrestle with what the Bible says when it challenges us, stretches us, or leaves us searching?

    Is This God or Me? Learning to Discern His Voice

    How do we know the difference between God’s voice and our own thoughts? In this episode of Rooted and Raw, we wrestle with a question many believers ask in seasons of decision, prayer, and waiting: How do I know if I’m hearing from God or myself?We talk about how God speaks, the role of Scripture in discernment, the importance of alignment with God’s character, and why spiritual maturity often grows through obedience and confirmation—not feelings alone. This conversation invites you to slow down, test what you’re hearing, and develop confidence in discerning God’s leading without fear or confusion.Rooted and Raw Crew:DeAndra BowieSherita BrooksFlora De La CruzTamara HewettStephanie BoegelJaemi SerranoSpecial Thanks to DNT for the original music.We highlighted some powerful Scripture today!

    What If I Don’t Feel Like Going to Church Anymore?

    What do we do when our feelings no longer line up with our commitment to the Church—the body of Christ? In this episode of Rooted and Raw, we explore the honest question many believers wrestle with but rarely say out loud: What if I don’t feel like going to church anymore? We talk about separating people from the Church, choosing obedience over emotion, and why feelings are often an invitation to dig deeper rather than disengage. This conversation challenges us to examine the “why” behind our resistance, while also affirming the importance of gathering, even in seasons when it feels difficult. If you’re navigating apathy, fatigue, or spiritual dryness, this episode invites you to stay rooted, remain faithful, and grow through it—not run from it.
