The Unavoidable Podcast

First things first — if you notice a few audio hiccups in this episode… blame it on the creative energy in the room. (Or the Wi-Fi.) Either way, thanks for sticking with us! In this beautiful conversation, I’m joined by my sister-in-law Ashley — a deep feeler, creative thinker, and fiercely loyal friend — as we dive into the themes of individuality, family roles, and owning your strengths without...

In this final episode with my brother Elliott Bingham as cohost ( cue the sibling send-off music ), we’re wrapping things up with a real and honest conversation about the beauty—and the mess—of community. We talk about how our personal strengths and weaknesses show up in relationships, why conflict is unavoidable (and actually really important), and how grace, humor, and a willingness to see thing...

In this episode, I sit down with my brother Elliott for another honest conversation — this time, we’re digging into our weaknesses (yay?), the struggle of people-pleasing, and why honest communication is so hard but so necessary. Elliott opens up about his tendency to avoid conflict (aka, “I’m fine” in human form), while I share what it’s looked like to stop fawning and start being real — with mys...

In this episode, I’m joined by my brother Elliott (yes, the Elliott — the one with the dry humor and the sneaky one-liners) to talk about something we’ve both wrestled with in different ways: how to be confident and humble, especially when it comes to relationships. We unpack what real confidence looks like — not the loud, look-at-me kind, but the grounded, quiet strength that makes space for othe...

In this final episode with my father-in-law (and unofficial co-host for the month), Frank Childs joins me one last time to dig into what real, meaningful community actually looks like — and spoiler: it’s not all potlucks and polite small talk. We talk about how God designed each of us to be uniquely ourselves on purpose , and how that uniqueness is actually what makes community so rich and powerfu...

We’re back for round two with my father-in-law, Frank Childs — and this time, we’re talking about the sneaky struggle of indecision and the heavy weight of a scarcity mindset. Frank opens up about moments in his life where hesitation and fear of “not enough” held him back from fully stepping into the blessings God had for him (yes, even the wise ones wrestle with this stuff!). With his usual hones...

In today’s episode, we’re talking all about the strength of graciousness, understanding, and the power we receive from God to live it out. I’m joined by a very special guest — my father-in-law, Frank Childs — who has a real gift for seeing situations from someone else’s perspective and being remarkably slow to anger (seriously, it’s impressive). Frank shares practical tips for inviting God into ev...

In this episode, I sit down one last time with my sister, Jesse Dear, for a real, raw, and surprisingly hilarious conversation about sisterhood, healing, and finding common ground (even when you’d rather throw a shoe). 😅 We’re keeping it honest as we unpack how two very different humans (with years of built-up misunderstandings and opposite approaches to, well... everything ) found a way back to...

In this episode, I’m joined again by my sister, Jesse Dear, for a conversation that’s way too real —especially if you’ve ever put off a dream because you were afraid it wouldn’t be perfect. 🙋‍♀️ We dive into Jesse’s journey with perfectionism: the pressure to always get it right, look like you have it together, and basically win an imaginary gold medal in life. (Spoiler: that medal doesn’t exist....

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my sister, Jesse Dear, to talk about something so many of us wrestle with: how to stay truly passionate and present in a world that's always online. 🌎📱 Jesse opens up about her journey growing up surrounded by social media and how it sometimes made it hard to fully embrace her passions without comparison or pressure. We dive into what it means to l...

Endurance—it’s more than just pushing through pain; it’s about showing up, again and again, even when failure feels inevitable. In this final episode with guest host Isaac Childs, we dive deep into the parallels between long-distance running and self-discipline. How can we cultivate the kind of endurance that not only fuels our own journey but also inspires those around us? We’re talking about the...
