Show Notes
We’re back with Part 2 of our spicy Q&A, and wow… this one takes us everywhere—from influencer culture to church hurt to godparents and discipleship. We get real about the tension of social media and faith, the beauty (and struggle) of staying rooted in a local church, and what it actually looks like to walk alongside someone who’s new to following Jesus.
We also share some of our personal stories—like navigating seasons of apathy, finding the right church home, and even the deeper conversations around raising kids and choosing godparents. This episode is honest, a little funny, and full of heart. Our prayer is that it reminds you that following Jesus isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about staying connected, staying humble, and staying in community. ORDER OUR LATEST STUDY!
