    Episode 309: Pete Enns & Elizabeth Petters | Deconstructing Faith While Parenting

    I am really excited about the conversation going into your ears today. Both of these guests have been on the show separately, but now we had a conversation all together. I am happy to welcome Pete Enns and his daughter Lizz Petters back to the show. Pete was on episode 181 and Liz joined me for episode 229. Pete is a college professor who has been teaching, writing and speaking about the Bible for over 20 years. He is a storyteller which is one reason why I love his writing but I also love that Pete isn't afraid to lean in and ask hard questions. He values hearing the stories of everyday people and their struggles with the Bible. That drives so much of what he does with his writing and with his podcast, The Bible For Normal People. He has authored many books which include his most recent one Curveball: When Your Faith Takes Turns You Never Saw Coming or How I Stumbled and Tripped My Way to Finding a Bigger God. Liz is a writer, co-host of the Deconstructing Mamas Podcast, and mom to two. She is passionate about creating space for spiritual misfits to find a sense of safety and belonging on their faith journeys. She is especially passionate about empowering young moms and parents who are doing the hard work of healing while raising kids. In this conversation, they share both of their perspectives about growing up and faith. And we really wrestle with the tensions we feel around raising kids while deconstructing and what that means when it comes to church. I really appreciate the honestly and vulnerability here.  Connect with Sarah: Website | Instagram Sign up for Sarah's monthly Survival Kit Newsletter

    Episode 307: Ally Fallon | How to Make Sense of Your Story Through Writing

    I am happy to welcome Ally Fallon to the show. I've been interested in having her on the show for a long time so when I saw her name come through my inbox, I was very excited. Ally is an author, speaker, and founder of Find Your Voice, a community that supports anyone who wants to write anything. She is a self-described writing coach. I read her most recent book titled Write Your Story: A Simple Formula to Understand Yourself, Your Story and Your Purpose in the World.  In this conversation, we talk about how and why writing your story is so important and powerful—even if you only write for your own eyes. We also talk about how we've been in a creative drought and overall burnout as people and even a country. Her thoughts on creativity and how to get out of burnout were very helpful.

    Episode 303: Emily P. Freeman | When to Stay or When to Go?

    I am so happy to welcome Emily P. Freeman to the show. Emily is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of five books and host of The Next Right Thing podcast. Emily just has a way about her that can make you feel seen, heard and at ease.  Many of us have experienced a lot of change in the last few years. And sometimes, we are left feeling uncertain and unsure on where we are or where we go next or even how to process what happened before. I asked Emily to join me on the show because she published a book titled How to Walk into a Room and it really is such a helpful guide to to navigate this. In this episode, we talk about the metaphor of the rooms we experience, how to know when to leave a room, what to do when you need closure, and how to walk into a room—especially when it comes to making your own decision and not by people pleasing. This is a thoughtful conversation, full of insight. I think you are really going to benefit from it. Connect with Sarah: Website | Instagram Sign up for Sarah's monthly Survival Kit Newsletter

    Episode 302: Rachel Macy Stafford: Letting Go and Getting Unstuck

    I am so happy to welcome my dear friend, Rachel Macy Stafford, back to the podcast. Rachel is a New York Times bestselling author and one of the most compassionate humans I know. You may know her best as the Hands Free Mama. She has joined me on Surviving Sarah on episodes 58. I asked Rachel to join me on the show again because she speaks to often about how to find your authentic self and how to let go and get unstuck. She most recently has written a book on the subject called Soul Shift along with a retreat that focuses on it. In this episode, we talk about the shifts we can make internally to help us find self-acceptance and how to let go of perfection. Rachel is a compassionate guide as we navigate being human and being in process of letting go from things that keep us from self-acceptance and learning how to embrace ourselves.  (As a quick note, you'll hear my dog, Murray, losing his mind in the distant background early on in the conversation. His favorite UPS driver showed up and his enthusiasm was obvious.) Connect with Sarah: Website | Instagram Sign up for Sarah's monthly Survival Kit Newsletter
