    Charting College: Holding Onto Faith in the Middle of the Noise

    How do you keep your faith honest and alive when identity, culture, and ministry expectations all pull at you at once? In this conversation, I sit down with Carrie Burge, a college student preparing for youth ministry, to talk about faith formation in the middle of busyness, doubt, and cultural pressure. Together, we explore spiritual balance, identity in Christ, and why the Gospel loses its power when grace and holiness are pulled apart.

    Charting Ziggurats: Exploring Towers, Temples, and Hubris

    Why did ancient people build ziggurats, and what do their towers reveal about humanity’s ambition and hubris? Why do humans keep building monuments that reach toward the heavens? In this episode, I explore the world of ziggurats with Dustin Wright. These towering temples that once dominated Mesopotamia and other regions now stand in ruins. We’ll consider what they meant to ancient cultures, how they connect to the biblical Tower of Babel, and what they tell us about humanity’s search for meaning, power, and transcendence. Along the way, we’ll uncover how these ancient structures still speak to our own modern attempts to climb higher than we were ever meant to.

    Charting the Feminine: The Nature of God and the Bible's Women

    Can we fully understand God by only seeing the masculine in Scripture? This episode explores the nature of God as well as the Bible’s portrayal of women. With openness and curiosity, we wrestle with questions about God’s character, the cultural backdrop of Scripture, and what these narratives could mean for us today. This conversation is shaped by both shared convictions and respectful differences, aimed at seeking a fuller understanding rather than easy answers.
