  • 354: Things We’re Trying (That We’re Still Not Sure About)
    Feb 11 2025

    On a podcast about decision making, I'm always looking for ways to drop us into the middle of the process because I believe there is helpful nuance and insight there. So today I'm hosting a conversation about those things in our lives where we've maybe started something but we're not sure if they're worth finishing. You'll hear from listeners who were willing to answer the question, "what's something I'm trying that I'm still not sure about?" Let's see what insight we can take away while listening to other people. Listen in.

  • 353: Faith After Faith with Erin Moon
    Feb 4 2025

    My guest today is someone who is well acquainted with the decision fatigue that comes along with navigating questions about your faith. I’m so glad to welcome Erin Hicks Moon to talk about the questions we have but are hesitant to bring into the light, about what to say to people who question our faithfulness when we question our faith, and how to move beyond the deconstruction conversation into our next right thing with God, others and ourselves.

    Erin is the perfect person to have this conversation with as she’s been talking about and writing about this for many years. She also has a brand new book to help you if you’re wrestling thorough your own disentangling moment, I’ve Got Questions: The Spiritual Practice of Having it out With God.

    How can you hold onto your faith when you feel lost? How can you respond when people dont’ understand what you’re going through? What are some of the things no one talks about when they talk about deconstruction? We’ve got all of that and more with Erin Hicks Moon. Listen in.

  • 351: The Heartbeat of Christian Hope
    Jan 21 2025
    Today I'm sharing a story of a time a few months back where I was asked a question and I didn't have a great answer. I'm still not sure my answer is great today, but it's done good work for me and in me to reflect on the recent election, our walk of faith and the heartbeat of Christian hope. Listen in.
