We started off 2021 interviewing Deidra Riggs, and that’s how we’re ending the year, too! On January 6th, 2021 we launched our first podcast of the year, interviewing Deidra about how 2021 would be “The Year of Dismantling: Eliminating Systems that Marginalize and Oppress.” She is back this week to share what she has been working on and learning this year. Full disclosure, I had originally asked D...

A topic that we all are aware of, but tend to shy away from: the wage gap. There are so many glass ceilings - for women, and especially women of color. Anna Fontus is here to talk about what creates those glass ceilings and how we can start to push on them a little harder. They may not shatter, but maybe they can crack. Anna talks especially about the intersection between the wage gap and diversit...

Loving our bodies isn't easy. In this episode, we delve into the notion that loving our bodies isn't something we "achieve." We don't just wake up one day and love our body and never feel shame again. Instead, it's a daily - and sometimes moment by moment - practice. . . . Connect with us on Facebook , Instagram , or online . 

This week we have a solo episode - meaning just Pastor Kelsey is hosting and discussing how it's okay to be angry with God. To be human is to experience grief, and pain, and loss. But the biggest thing to remember is that God abides in Jesus, Jesus abides in us, and we abide in each other. Through our pain and our grief it is important to remember that we are not alone. After all Jesus wept,...

The choice to not have children is a path a lot of folks take, and it can often come with a stigma. There’s often a response those folks get when they tell others they don’t want kids - everything from “Are you sure?” or “One day you’ll change your mind.”  Today we have on Rev. Liz Miller to talk about why saying some of those things can cause harm, and how they are really rooted in the notion tha...

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness month, and October 15th was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. In honor of that, we invited Rev. Dr. Colie Bettivia to come on the podcast to talk about why this topic is so personal and important to her. She shares her own experience and talks about what to say and what not to say when someone you know is going through the trials of pregnan...

There is a great deal of work being done in many Christian denominations to make them more welcoming, open, and affirming. While there is still a long way to go in making the church a safer and more inclusive space, much has been done along that path. However, one group of folks that still feels ostracized in many communities is those who practice polyamory and/or consensual non-monogamy. Gabriela...

A few months ago, some colleagues of mine shared a video on their facebook pages announcing that they were getting divorced. We were so impressed by how they handled the announcement and when we reached out to interview them, they offered to come on together! So today we have Rev. Katrina Macaluso and Rev. J. Eric Thompson to share their story and insights with us. We dove deep into some heady the...

We are smack dab in the middle of our relationship series and we’re making our way to the deep end. This week, we are diving into the topic of parenting and faith, and some of our upcoming episodes include the topics of divorce, polyamory, pregnancy loss, infertility, the choice not to have children, and more. Like I said - we’re moving into the deep end. Today’s guest is Rev. Kimberly Knowle-Zell...

Ever wondered what faith has to do with finances? Or how to steward your budget in a faithful way? Or how to even *start* a budget? Rev. Jessica Shine is here to teach us all about how Jesus can function as a great financial advisor. In fact, she even says he talks more about money than most things (though she also says you can debate her on that!).  In this episode we cover: What the Bible tells...

Do Better Young Life was started by Kent Thomas. He shared his experience on social media of being asked to leave Young Life because he is gay and used the hashtag #dobetteryounglife. Almost 1,000 people have since used that hashtag and shared their stories. #DoBetterYoungLife has quickly evolved into a grassroots movement to transform Young Life, encouraging the organization to live into who it s...

It's HERE! Our most-requested episode with Pastor Kelsey and her husband, Rev. Kevin Beebe! They talk about everything from how they handle conflict to how they keep faith an integral part of their relationship.  We took requests for questions and had a blast talking through them. Here are some of the things you asked and we answered: What is your story? How did you meet? What are your Enneag...

In the past year and a half, especially since Spring 2020, so many people have branched out and started working for themselves. Whether it is a side-hustle or a full-time gig, the field of entrepreneurship is growing rapidly. Even pastors are wading out into these waters (my friend Heidi calls it “pastorpreneurship” which I love !) So we have invited on an incredibly brilliant marketing strategist...
