Everyday Truths is where honest faith meets real life. Hosted by Sherri Richard, this podcast is all about living out what you believe—in the middle of laundry piles, unexpected detours, and seasons that don’t look anything like you planned. You won’t find polished sermons or Pinterest-perfect advice here. Instead, you’ll get vulnerable conversations, laugh-out-loud moments, and practical encouragement to follow Jesus in the everyday, ordinary, beautifully messy parts of life. From candid solo episodes to heartfelt guest stories, Everyday Truths is a reminder that God meets us right where we are—not where we think we should be. Pull up a chair. Bring your coffee. And let’s talk about faith for real life.

In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, Sherri sits down with Tiff for a deeply vulnerable conversation about fatherlessness, rejection, identity, and healing.

    When Faith Feels Like Pressure Instead of Freedom | Letters to Me - Damaris Fike | Episode 38

    What if the version of faith you learned… isn’t the one Jesus intended? In this episode, Sherri sits down with Damaris to unpack a deeply personal and often unspoken struggle: living as the “put-together Christian” while quietly feeling angry, pressured, and disconnected from the grace of God. As part of the Letters to Me series, Damaris reflects on a season of legalism, judgment, and performance—and the moment everything began to shift. This conversation is for anyone who has:  Felt like their relationship with God was based on getting everything right  Struggled with church hurt or disappointment  Found themselves caught between grace and judgment  Wondered why faith felt heavy instead of freeing Because sometimes the issue isn’t your faith… it’s the version of God you’ve been carrying. ✨ In this episode, we talk about:  The trap of performance-based Christianity  How legalism affects both how we live and how we treat others  The difference between knowing about grace and experiencing it  Healing from church hurt and finding safe community  What it looks like to actually live from grace 🔔 If this episode encouraged you: Leave a review—it helps more people find conversations like this and reminds them they’re not alone.

    Running From God… But Still Chosen? | Letters to Me - Clayton Tyner | Episode 37

    What do you do when you feel called by God… but your life looks nothing like it should? In this episode, Sherri sits down with Clayton Tyner for a powerful and honest conversation about identity, expectations, rebellion, and the grace of a God who never stops pursuing us. As part of the Letters to Me series, Clayton reflects on his journey—from the weight of being “the kid with a calling,” to running hard in the opposite direction, to ultimately encountering the kindness of God in a way that changed everything. This episode speaks to anyone who has:  Felt crushed by expectations  Wrestled with identity or purpose  Questioned if they’ve gone too far  Tried to run from God Because sometimes the truth is simple: You’re not too far gone… you’re just on the wrong side of your story. And God is still writing it. ✨ In this episode, we talk about:  The weight of expectations and identity  What happens when you rebel against your calling  The difference between performance and grace  Why God’s kindness—not shame—leads us back  How your story (even the messy parts) can be redeemed 🔔 If this episode encouraged you: Take a second to leave a review—it helps more people find these conversations and reminds them they’re not alone.

    Adopted, Rejected, and Still Chosen | Letters to Me - Lyndy Stokes | Episode 36

    What would you say to a younger version of yourself? In this first episode of our new Letters to Me series, I sit down with Lyndy Stokes to talk about her story—one shaped by adoption, identity questions, and the deep ache of rejection… and ultimately, the truth that she was chosen all along. Lyndy is an author, mom of three, and the creator of Light and Truth Company, where she helps families engage with Scripture in simple, meaningful ways. In this conversation, we walk through her story—from being adopted as an infant, to a pivotal moment as a teenager that shifted how she saw herself, to the years that followed as she searched for identity in all the wrong places. We talk about:  how adoption shaped her understanding of identity  the moment everything changed at 13  what rejection can do to the way we see ourselves  where we tend to look for worth when we feel unseen  how God was present in every part of her story—even when she couldn’t see it  and what she would say now to her younger self This conversation is honest, raw, and full of hope for anyone who has ever questioned their worth or wondered where they truly belong. If this episode encourages you, make sure you’re following the podcast so you don’t miss the rest of the Letters to Me series.

    Temptation When You’re Hurt, Unseen, or Doing “Fine” (Part 2) | Episode 35

    Last week, we talked about how temptation shows up when we’re overwhelmed, burned out, and just trying to survive. This week, we’re continuing the conversation—looking at the quieter, more subtle places temptation shows up in our everyday lives. Because sometimes it’s not about survival mode… Sometimes it’s when you’re:  Hurt or misunderstood  Feeling unseen or overlooked  Or honestly… when everything seems “fine” In this episode, we talk about:  Why hurt can make us want to pull others into our offense  The temptation to isolate, avoid, or justify distance  What it really means to feel unseen (and how we sometimes contribute to it)  How “good seasons” can quietly pull us away from God  And how to actually respond in the moment—not just in theory We also break down three simple anchors to help you navigate temptation in real life: The Spirit. Scripture. And Relationships. This conversation is honest, layered, and incredibly practical—and a reminder that you are not alone in any of this. If Part 1 helped you recognize temptation… Part 2 helps you respond to it.

    Episode 33: Jesus, Pride, and the Blessings That Lead Us Away

    Temptation doesn’t always come dressed as something bad. Sometimes it looks like a blessing. In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we finish our journey through the temptations of Jesus in Matthew 4 and uncover why the most dangerous temptations are the ones that feel justified, spiritual, or even good. We explore: How temptation meets legitimate needs in illegitimate waysWhy pride and self-reliance quietly erode our relationship with GodThe danger of choosing shortcuts over callingWhy Satan’s offers often look like blessingsHow Jesus resisted temptation and protected what mattered mostJesus was offered power, validation, and relief — things His people wanted and expected. But instead of taking the shortcut, He chose obedience, trust, and purpose. This episode is for anyone who’s tired of chasing things that look good but leave them empty — and who wants to become an overcomer by following the way of Jesus. 👉 Subscribe to the Everyday Truths Podcast so you don’t miss what’s next 👉 Share with someone who’s wrestling with temptation or direction 👉 Leave a review to help this ministry reach more people 👨‍👩‍👧 Don’t forget to check out the Everyday Truths Kids Podcast, now live for families.

    Episode 32: Jesus, Pride and Twisted Truth (The Temptation to Prove Yourself)

    Pride doesn’t usually feel like pride. It feels like being right. Being justified. Being better. Being seen. In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, we continue our conversation on temptation by looking at the second temptation of Jesus — when He’s challenged to jump from the top of the temple and prove who He is. We talk about: Why pride always looks like truth from the insideHow Scripture can be twisted to support the wrong agendaThe danger of testing God instead of trusting HimHow pride damages relationships with God, others, and ourselvesWhy Jesus refused to take the shortcut — even when it made senseJesus didn’t overcome temptation by proving Himself. He overcame it by protecting relationship and trusting the Father. This episode is Part 2 in our temptation series. 👉 Subscribe to Everyday Truths so you don’t miss what’s coming next 👉 Share with someone who’s wrestling with pride, control, or validation 👉 Leave a review — it helps this ministry reach more people 🎧 Plus: check out the Everyday Truths Kids Podcast, now available wherever you listen.Everydaytruths.com/kids
