    14: When Christian Art is Actually GOOD - How an art & faith conference changed me

    Send us Fan Mail I went to an Art & Faith conference, and it changed me. Actually, this is the THIRD year I've been to this conference. I always love going because, as a deconstructing Christian, I find the space to be friendly to questions, intellectual pursuits, and uncertain faith. Art is a great place for these things in general. For something that is so beyond us and filled with such mystery -- aka GOD and religion -- we need good avenues to explore it without putting it in a human-size box. This, I believe, is where the arts come in. Art (in all its forms) is vital for exploring the mystery of The Other. In this video, I share about my experience at this conference: the great minds and artists I've learned from, my biggest takeaways, and the reasons why I keep going back. I also talk more broadly about art and faith and why they should absolutely go together.  I would love to hear about your own faith/spiritual journey! What were some milestones for you? Where have you temporarily landed, or is everything still very much in flux? Meet me in the comments or head over to our Discord for a more in-depth discussion!  https://discord.gg/gdTMBzkNjY P.S. Welcome to our solo episode series! Eventually, we will post solo episodes from each Passionfroot creator. We like to think of these as "breakout sessions" -- a chance to go deeper on the subjects we each represent here on Passionfroot. Expect more creativity-focused solo episodes from me in the future! ⬇️ Find us in these places too!  ⬇️ Instagram: http://instagram.com/passionfroot.co Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@passionfroot.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/passionfroot.collective ⬇️ If you want to connect with Darcie ⬇️ Instagram and TikTok - _thatoneartist_ YouTube and Facebook - thatoneartist www.darciedenton.com https://linktr.ee/_thatoneartist_ Music: Track and Field - Arc de Soleil #thepassionfrootpodcast #artandfaith #deconstruction

    13: The Surprising Power of Doing LESS

    Send us Fan Mail Purpose isn’t found by adding more. Sometimes it emerges when we strip back, pay attention and choose intentionally. In a world that tells us to know more, do more and have more, many of us are quietly exhausted, and still unsure of our purpose. In this episode of the Passionfroot podcast, Adjoa, Darcie and Max have an honest conversation about minimalism, hustle culture and the surprising power of doing less. From intellectual hoarding and digital overwhelm to creativity and faith, this episode explores how stripping back, mentally, digitally and spiritually, can create space for a more grounded, purpose-filled life.  This episode isn’t about aesthetic minimalism or rigid rules, but about intentional living, letting go and trusting that purpose often emerges when we slow down enough to listen. We hope you enjoy and look forward to engaging with you in the comments and in our discord. ~ Adjoa 💌 Continue the conversation by joining our Discord server: https://discord.gg/gdTMBzkNjY We’d love to hear from you!

    12: Is Comfort KILLING Our Generation?

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back friends! We're so excited to bring you another FULL group episode! Today, we talk about when to seek discomfort vs comfort. They say "discomfort leads to growth," which is true, but it's not always the best option. Sometimes you need to follow the ease.  But...how do you discern when to choose comfort and when to choose discomfort? When do you pivot in your career and when do you push through? When does comfort become avoidance, and when is escapism actually a GOOD thing? Tune in for an in-depth conversation and let us know what you think! 💭 Join the conversation: When has choosing discomfort been the right decision for you, and when has it been the wrong decision?

    11: Can FAITH and knowledge-seeking coexist?

    Send us Fan Mail Darcie posed an interesting question in our team group chat: was the first sin committed by Adam and Eve related to wanting knowledge? And if so, is knowledge itself dangerous? The question got us talking, and over the next few weeks it came up a handful of times, until we knew that it had to turn into a full conversation. The dynamic is interesting, with Darcie approaching this as a “lay” person and myself coming at it with formal theological training. We examine both the Eden story and the Tower of Babel story as paradigms for how to approach reading the biblical text with both a critical and faithful lens.  The deeper question, of course, is about defining what “faith” and “knowledge” are. A spiritual question, and an epistemological question. These aren’t fully resolved in this episode, but we hope it’s a meaningful starting point or refining reference for you in the process of getting to wherever you land on this issue. -Max 💭 Join the conversation: Have YOU ever asked this question or a similar one? Where did you find answers, if any?  Share your thoughts below ⬇️ and continue the conversation by joining our Discord server: https://discord.gg/gdTMBzkNjY We’d love to hear from you! Links/Resources mentioned in the episode: This video was not mentioned in this episode, however, I would highly recommend the episode “Embodied Knowing: Polanyi, Scripture, and the End of the Mind-Body Divide” by The Biblical Mind Podcast (by Dr. Dru Johnson) for another layer of really interesting discussion on the nature of knowledge.  https://youtu.be/_i1qjm1mqQA?si=LHgM--hu8SNUNKUu “What is the Bible” by Rob Bell - https://www.amazon.ca/What-Bible-Ancient-Transform-Everything/dp/0062194267  ⬇️ Find us in these places too!  ⬇️ Instagram: http://instagram.com/passionfroot.co Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@passionfroot.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/passionfroot.collective ⬇️ If you want to connect with Max and Darcie ⬇️ Darcie🎨 Instagram and TikTok - _thatoneartist_ YouTube and Facebook - thatoneartist www.darciedenton.com https://linktr.ee/_thatoneartist_ Max🎸 Instagram and TikTok - maxwellkozen YouTube - Maxwell Kozen Streaming platforms - Maxwell Kozen https://beacons.ai/maxwellkozen Music: Track and Field - Arc de Soleil #faithandknowledge #passionfroot #thepassionfrootpodcast

    10: Building Community in the Gaps with Reese Hicks

    Send us Fan Mail What does it look like to build community where you see it needed most? In today's episode, Adjoa and Darcie are joined by our very first podcast guest, Reese Hicks. Reese is the founder of SOBI -- a community for creatives that curates unique, cultural, art-centered events in Chattanooga, TN. As Reese and Adjoa share about their parallel experiences in building communities, we discuss: how an idea goes from seed to reality, the importance of diversity in a time where a divisive narrative is being sold,  and why you should lead with curiosity as both a community leader and a community member. Join the conversation: What kinds of communities do you belong to, and why are they important?

    9: Finding Your Way When Everyone Has An Opinion (Pt. 2)

    Send us Fan Mail We live in a world where everyone has a strong opinion, especially when it comes to faith and belief. But what does it look like when your own faith journey leads you to feeling it necessary to challenge existing opinions?  We began this conversation 2 weeks ago in PART 1,  discussing things like: outgrowing what you were taught, thinking differently amongst conformity, reconnecting with cultural roots, and how mystery and curiosity can lead you through a journey of finding your own way.  Today, in PART 2, we go deeper into exploring those talking points and more with Max leading the way via his background in theology and philosophy. How can we find our own way through the great mystery that is belief, religion, and spirituality?  Join the conversation: What is your current relationship with faith/belief? How are you navigating places in your life that diverge from what may be the status quo?
