UnqualifiedPK

In this episode of UnqualifiedPk, we talk about a kind of faith that doesn’t get much airtime — the faith that lives quietly in the background. The kind that shows up every Sunday but sits against the back wall. The kind that loves Jesus deeply but doesn’t want a microphone, a platform, or a stage. We unpack the tension many people feel in church and Christian culture: the pressure to be visible t...

In this episode of UnqualifiedPk, we talk about one of the most overused — and misunderstood — words in Christianity: love. Most of us grew up believing love was a feeling. Something emotional. Something warm. Something that comes naturally when circumstances are good. But when we slow down and look at Scripture, we start to realize: biblical love doesn’t look anything like the version we’ve been...

In this episode of UnqualifiedPk, we wrestle with one of the most misunderstood words in Christianity: joy. We both assumed joy was a feeling — excitement, happiness, a good season of life. But the more we studied Scripture (and honestly questioned our own assumptions), the more we realized… we didn’t actually know what biblical joy was. This conversation unpacks why: joy isn’t circumstantial joy...

In Episode 6 of UnqualifiedPk, we dive into the Advent season — not the polished version you see on church stages, but the real-life version of hope and peace when life feels heavy, confusing, or downright impossible. Advent traditionally invites Christians to slow down, reflect, and anticipate the arrival of Jesus. But what do you do when life speeds up instead? When suffering feels endless? When...

In Episode 5 of UnqualifiedPk, we break the “episode 4 curse” and invite you into our real-time struggle — not a polished testimony from years ago, but what we’re walking through this week. Adrienne shares honestly about wrestling to feel forgiven, even though she knows God has already wiped her clean. Travis talks about carrying the weight of the past while trying to fight new battles, and how co...

It’s Thanksgiving week, and after a few heavy episodes, we wanted to sit down, breathe a little, and talk about gratefulness —not in a cheesy way, but in a real, practical, “this actually helps my anxiety” kind of way. In this episode of UnqualifiedPk , we share some of the things we’re genuinely thankful for right now: our home and this little podcast corner, the wild journey of doing a show toge...

Content Warning: In this episode we talk honestly about abortion, shame, and spiritual warfare. Please watch with care if this is a sensitive topic for you. In Episode 3 of UnqualifiedPK , we share one of the most painful parts of our story: the abortion we had over a decade ago. As two pastor’s kids who “knew better,” this was never something we imagined would be part of our lives or our marriage...

In Episode 2, Adrienne opens up about coaching volleyball, showing love through everyday moments, and what it’s like to walk through grief as a teacher when a student’s family faces tragedy. We talk about what it means to live out your faith in public spaces, letting your light shine even when it’s uncomfortable, and trusting God’s plan when life feels heavy. This week isn’t about being perfect —...
