Asking a Pastor Controversial Questions You’re Afraid To Ask
Happy & Healthy with Jeanine Amapola WardShow Notes
Okay you guys, this episode is a GOOD one. Kaleb and I are sitting down with Pastor Luke Lezon and putting him in the hot seat with some of the questions Christians are actually asking—but sometimes feel afraid to say out loud.
We talk about everything from Christians drinking alcohol, pastors drinking, and expensive church buildings, merch, politics, predestination vs. free will, women pastors, and what it looks like to actually stand on biblical truth without becoming overly critical of everyone around you.
We loved this conversation because it reminded us that we don't have to be scared of hard questions. We can wrestle with Scripture, have disagreements, use wisdom and discernment, and still keep Jesus at the center. My hope is that this episode encourages you to dig into the Word for yourself, extend more grace to other believers, and focus less on winning arguments and more on genuinely following Jesus.

Girl, this episode is for you if you've been secretly struggling but feel like you have to pretend everything is okay because you're a Christian. 🤍
Kaleb and I are back with PART TWO of our marriage confessions series, and y'all… the husbands did NOT hold back! 😂
Okay y’all… this episode is JUICY. 😂 Kaleb and I asked women to anonymously share the things they would never tell their husbands, and some of these confessions genuinely had us speechless.
Today we’re talking about everything I think we need to leave behind this fall: productivity guilt, doom scrolling instead of having hobbies, being reachable 24/7, performing our lives instead of actually living them… and yes, decorating for Christmas WAY too early. Plus, I’m answering your questions at the end! Grab a coffee, go on a walk, and let’s catch up. 🤎
Ten years later, I’m finally ready to share a part of my story that I’ve carried quietly for a long time: my past marriage and annulment.
