Unfiltered Christianity

Grief is often reduced to the loss of a loved one, but grief shows up in far more places than we realize. In this conversation, we explore the many forms of loss that shape our lives: unmet expectations, broken relationships, lost identity, career changes, shattered hopes, and even the quiet grief of growing older or watching our children change. Drawing from personal stories, Scripture, and lived...

Grief feels unbearable because it was never meant to be familiar. In this episode, we sit with the weight of loss and explore why grief feels so disorienting, uncontrollable, and deeply personal. Through raw personal stories of losing a child and losing a mother, we talk about why death still shocks us, why the pain doesn't follow a timeline, and why trying to "get over it" often does more harm th...

What if the wilderness isn't where God abandons you but where He matures you?

From David to John the Baptist to Jesus Himself, we explore how the wilderness consistently appears as a place of testing, refinement, in...

The wilderness isn't where God abandons us. It's where He teaches us to lean. In this episode, we walk through Scripture to discover why God repeatedly meets His people in the wilderness and what it reveals about trust, dependence, and intimacy with Him. From Adam's creation to David's caves, Elijah's burnout, Hosea's love story, and the bride leaning on her beloved, the Bible tells a radically di...

Lament isn't complaining. It's not disrespect. It's not faithlessness. It's the honest, unfiltered cry of the soul — the place between what we know about God and...

LEARN MORE ABOUT SILENT RETREATS: kallahculture.org In this episode, Joey and Carla step into one of the most misunderstood parts of the Christian life —  prayer . Not the polished, word-heavy version many of us grew up with, but the real thing: the communion, the awareness, the soul-level connection with God that often has no words at all. We talk about why so many believers feel like they're "no...

In this episode of Unfiltered Christianity , we dive deep into one of the most familiar but often least understood titles for Jesus: the Lamb of God . Using real-life stories, Scripture, and raw personal reflection, we unpack what it actually means that Jesus is the Lamb, why God chose this imagery, what it tells us about His character, and how it reshapes our understanding of power, spiritual war...

Why does Scripture use this imagery? And why do so many believers, especially men, feel disconnected from it?

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the name of this podcast and talk about why "unfiltered" matters so much to us—and to real faith. We dive into the pressure so many Christians feel to say the right thing, believe the right thing, and show up polished before God and people… even when what's actually happening inside is messy. Using Scripture, personal stories, and a lot of honesty, we t...
