    Shane Claiborne on the Election, Israel, and His Miracle Child | Ep. 61

    Who should Christians vote for? Are we commanded to vote at all? In this episode, I’m joined by speaker, activist and author Shane Claiborne. Shane is the co-founder of Red Letter Christians, an organization striving to live out the words of Jesus as if He MEANT them. Shane has also authored many bestselling books, including Jesus for President, Jesus Revolution, and Executing Grace: How The Death Penalty Killed Jesus and Why It's Killing Us. Shane and I discuss many things here, including the presidential election, Israel and Palestine, pro-life ethics, crime and punishment, forgiveness and reconciliation, Jesus’s radical response to violence, and the wisdom he’s gained from marriage and unexpected fatherhood.

    Grief, Racial Trauma, Disordered Eating, and WORTH | Ep. 60

    I’m joined by health and wellness coach Sierra Brown to discuss nearly everything under the sun, including performative Christianity, perfectionism and sports, disordered eating, dating, domestic violence, divorce, worthiness, and perhaps most timely for me, how to grieve with God. I was massively encouraged while re-listening to this conversation during edits, and I pray that it will encourage you, too.  Connect with Sierra on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠ and check out her podcast!

    Psychedelic Addiction, Sorcery, and the Enneagram | Ep. 59

    How does a new age psychedelic lover stumble upon the truth of Jesus Christ? I recently had the pleasure of chatting with artist, writer, and outspoken ex-new ager Ashley Lande, author of the recently released book The Thing That Would Make Everything Okay Forever: Transcendence, Psychedelics, and Jesus Christ. Ashley and I discussed her childhood skepticism of Christianity and preference for the esoteric, her battle against a raging psychedelic addiction, the dark spiritual places to where these drugs led (spoiler: demons), and the restless love of Christ that freed her. This interview also includes mention of yoga, horoscopes, the enneagram, and other forms of divination — all of this to say, prepare yourself!

    MINI: A Chance Encounter w/ a Spirit-Led Uber Driver | Ep. 57

    In this spur of the moment recording, Lisa and I discuss her ex-husband's abandonment of their family and how God ultimately redeemed it, what parenthood reveals the sacrificial love of God, and to my surprise, what she believes to be the TRUTH about the Mormon church (SPOILER: it involves the word "cult").

    From Promiscuous Lesbianism to Holiness (Debating LGBT #3) | Ep. 56

    Imagine this: You're sitting at home, daydreaming about proposing to the love of your life when out of nowhere, the Spirit of God rushes in and shuts the whole thing down. This is part three of my series on the truth about gay sex. This go round, I'm chatting with longtime basketball player and coach Jordan Greenleaf. Jordan revisits the childhood rejection from boys that convinced her that she could only be desirable to women and the long season of rebellion that followed. As you'll hear, it was only through God's intervening grace that Jordan came to believe what she now believes. For this reason, she remains compassionate toward those who believe differently, and shares my concern for the homophobia (*true* homophobia) that exists within the church.

    Ex-Nazi Delivered from Hate, Psychosis, and Addiction | Ep. 55

    In this shocking conversation, Pastor Sean Finch details the childhood trauma that led to decades of anxiety and extreme timidity. We discuss his unhealthy coping mechanisms (beginning with the alcoholism he developed at age 13), and the drugs, violence, psychosis, and eventual white supremacy that came to define his young life. So how did a drug-addled, psychotic Nazi find Jesus? You gotta hear this one. Want to WATCH this interview, instead of just listening?

    How Does Sex Reflect the Gospel? (Debating LGBT #2) | Ep. 54

    Should we really believe what Scripture says about homosexuality? If you listened to the end of my most recent episode featuring gay (and openly sexually active) creator Melody Rachel, you know that MY answer is YES. Though I shared my own thoughts on that episode, I also wanted to share a few additional perspectives. To that end, I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Autumn Joy, whose testimony truly blew my mind! Autumn and I covered quite a bit, including God’s very intentional design, trauma and psychosexual development, the inner workings of desire (and why some men seem to think with one particular organ), the connection between religious spirits, legalism, and homosexuality, and the reliability of God’s Word. This was such a fun and God-glorifying interview — I hope you enjoy it! Want to WATCH this interview, instead of just listening?
