Unearthed & Unhinged

Glennis Lamm

Unearthed & Unhinged is a podcast that explores sacred texts with honesty and curiosity, teaching everyday people how to thoughtfully access, interpret, and apply Scripture to modern life. Each episode invites listeners to wrestle, reflect, and reimagine what faith can look like today — not fragile or performative, but resilient, rooted, and real. We believe Scripture still speaks — and that when we learn to handle it with care and courage, we cultivate a faith strong enough to hold both mystery and meaning. And that kind of faith doesn’t just sustain us — it empowers us to love boldly, live purposefully, and impact the world for good.

    EP. 031 | He Knew, And Still He Went

    Ep. 031 | He Knew, And Still He Went: The Archaeology, Science, and Prophecy Behind the Crucifixion What if the cross wasn’t something Jesus stumbled into… but something He walked toward—fully aware? In this episode of Unearthed & Unhinged, we step beyond the familiar story of the crucifixion and uncover the historical, medical, and prophetic realities behind it. Because somewhere along the way, the cross became something we recognize—but stopped truly feeling. This conversation brings it back into focus. We explore the Old Testament prophecies written centuries before the crucifixion—detailing piercing, suffering, and even the casting of lots. We examine the rare medical condition described in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus’ stress became so intense it manifested physically. And we walk through the brutal, historically documented process of Roman crucifixion—from scourging to suffocation—grounded in both ancient sources and modern medical research. This isn’t symbolic. This isn’t softened. This is what He knew. And still… He went. We also step into the archaeological evidence surrounding crucifixion, the reality of the tomb, and why the historical details matter more than we often realize. Because when you understand not just that it happened—but how it happened—it changes the weight of what it meant. This episode is not about shock value. It’s about clarity. It’s about truth. It’s about love that chose the cross with full knowledge of the cost. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from the story of the crucifixion… this is your invitation to see it again—with depth, honesty, and reverence.

    Episode 029 | The Spiritual Discipline of Stewarding Health | Guest: Danielle Raesz Physical • Mental • Emotional What if caring for your health wasn’t just a personal choice… but a spiritual responsibility? In this episode of Unearthed & Unhinged, we’re diving into a discipline that often gets overlooked in conversations about faith—stewarding our health. Not from a place of pressure, perfection, or performance—but from a posture of faithfulness. Because the truth is… this is the only body you get. Together, we unpack what it really means to care for your physical, mental, and emotional health as an act of worship—not vanity. Not selfishness. Not control. But stewardship. We explore: Why your body is not your own—and why that changes everythingHow physical health impacts your capacity to serve God and othersThe connection between mental health and spiritual maturityWhy emotional health matters more than we often admitThe danger of burnout disguised as faithfulnessAnd how Jesus Himself modeled rest, limits, and sustainabilityThis conversation isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters—with wisdom, intention, and obedience. If you’ve ever believed: “I don’t have time to take care of myself…” “It feels selfish to focus on my health…” “God will just sustain me no matter what…” We gently challenge those narratives and invite you into something better. You’ll also walk away with simple, practical ways to start stewarding your health today—one small, faithful step at a time. Because caring for your health isn’t stepping away from your calling… it may be exactly how God sustains you in it.

    Ep. 027 | The Spiritual Discipline of Service

    Ep. 027 | The Spiritual Discipline of Service Learning to Love Without Needing to Be Seen Most of us don’t mind serving… until it costs us convenience. We love to help—just not when it’s invisible, inconvenient, or completely unappreciated. In this episode, we’re unpacking the spiritual discipline of service and why it’s about so much more than being helpful. Service isn’t primarily for others—it’s one of the primary ways God forms us. When practiced intentionally, service confronts our pride, loosens our grip on control, and reshapes our hearts to look more like Christ’s. We’ll look at Jesus as the ultimate model of service—not just in what He taught, but in how He lived. From constant interruptions to washing His disciples’ feet, Jesus shows us that authority in the Kingdom flows through humility, not visibility. The highest authority took on the lowest task—and then told us to do the same. We’ll also get honest about the difference between serving and people-pleasing—because not all “yeses” are obedience. True service flows from love and obedience, not fear of disapproval or a need for affirmation. And when that line gets blurred, burnout isn’t far behind. This episode is an invitation to ask the hard question: Am I serving out of love… or out of fear? If you’ve ever felt unseen in your obedience, weary in your giving, or unsure how to serve without losing yourself—this conversation is for you.

    Ep. 26 | Spiritual Disciplines of Silence & Sabbath

    Ep. 026 | The Spiritual Disciplines of Silence & Sabbath Learning to Stop, Listen, and Trust God Enough to Rest We say we’re exhausted… but when God invites us to rest, we suddenly don’t know how. And silence? We love the idea of it—until it actually happens. In this episode, we’re diving into two often-neglected spiritual disciplines that quietly push back against hurry, noise, and hustle culture: Silence and Sabbath (Shabbat). These practices aren’t about withdrawing from life—they’re about re-centering our lives around God instead of productivity, urgency, and constant output. We’ll talk about why silence feels so uncomfortable, what it reveals about our inner world, and how Scripture shows us silence as a place of attentiveness—not emptiness. From Jesus withdrawing to lonely places to Elijah encountering God in a gentle whisper, we’ll explore how God often speaks when everything else quiets down. Then we’ll turn to Sabbath—not as a spiritual nap or a bonus practice for people with margin, but as a gift and a declaration of trust. Sabbath reminds us that God provides, that the world keeps turning without our striving, and that our identity is rooted in being God’s people—not in what we produce. This episode is an invitation to resist the lie that everything depends on you… to move from doing to being… and to relearn how to stop long enough to listen—and rest—in the presence of God. If your soul feels tired, noisy, or constantly “on,” this one’s for you.

    Ep 025 | The Spiritual Discipline of Studying the Bible | Guest: Danielle Raesz

    Episode 025 | Studying the Bible | Guest: Danielle Raesz Knowing God by Knowing His Word We say we want to know God—but how often do we slow down to truly listen to what He’s already said? In this episode of Unearthed & Unhinged, we explore the spiritual discipline of studying the Bible—not as homework, pressure, or a spiritual performance, but as a relational practice of intimacy with God. Scripture is not meant to be mastered for information or arguments; it is meant to form us, renew our minds, and draw us deeper into who God actually is. If you’ve ever thought: “I want to read the Bible, but I don’t know where to start,”“I read it, but I don’t always understand it,” or“I feel guilty when I miss days,”...this conversation is for you. We talk about why Bible study is a spiritual discipline, not just a habit—and how disciplines shape us slowly and faithfully over time. You’ll hear why relying only on sermons, podcasts, or social media clips can never replace personal engagement with Scripture, and how God uses His Word to anchor us when emotions fluctuate and culture distorts truth. You’ll also be introduced to multiple approachable ways to engage Scripture, including: Listening to the Bible in busy or neurodivergent seasonsSlow, intentional reading for contextLectio Divina (sacred, prayerful reading)Inductive Bible study (observe, interpret, apply)Topical and thematic studiesStudying Scripture in communityMemorizing Scripture as a form of internalizing truth—not performanceThroughout the episode, we return to a central reminder: studying the Bible is about formation, not information. Scripture convicts, comforts, corrects, and calls us deeper—not into perfection, but into relationship. It’s okay to wrestle. It’s okay to ask questions. God is not threatened by curiosity. We also gently reframe common barriers like lack of time, lack of understanding, and guilt—inviting listeners to start small, stay consistent, and approach God’s Word with curiosity instead of pressure. If you’re longing to know God more deeply, this episode invites you to come to Scripture not to check a box—but to meet a Person.
