What if the way we understand the Trinity could completely change how we think about power, belonging, justice, and Christian community? We sit down with Liz Daye, author of Interwoven Discipleship, to explore how a God defined by mutuality and interconnectedness invites us into a faith that's about more than saying the right prayer—it's about showing up for one another, embracing human dignity, and pursuing justice. From disability and church community to gender hierarchy and abuse reform, this conversation offers a fresh, challenging, and deeply hopeful vision of what it means to live as God's family.

What happens when one spouse is neurotypical and the other is neurodivergent, or when both spouses have different neurodivergent needs? Rebecca sits down with Dr. Stephanie Holmes, co-author of Uniquely Us, to explore the realities of neurodiverse marriage, including emotional regulation, mental load, accommodations, gender expectations, and why traditional Christian marriage advice can sometimes make things harder. Together, they unpack how couples can extend grace without enabling, take responsibility without sacrificing themselves, and build a marriage that works for the actual people in it—not some imaginary version of Christian marital perfection!

Can a pastor bounce back from scandal and reclaim the spotlight? Sheila and Rebecca unpack Carl & Laura Lentz’s book Overcoming Infidelity, exploring the difference between forgiveness and accountability, the privilege of celebrity pastors, and what genuine healing after betrayal requires. We also ask some bigger questions about evangelical celebrity culture, who deserves a platform, and why supporting the betrayed partner matters just as much as believing in redemption.

What do we do with Bible passages that seem to portray God as indifferent to violence against women? Sheila sits down with Dr. Helen Paynter of the Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence to explore disturbing Old Testament stories, the historical context of biblical laws, and the difference between describing violence and endorsing it. Together, they consider how reading Scripture through the lens of Jesus can help us wrestle honestly with difficult questions, take survivors' experiences seriously, and rediscover God's care for the vulnerable.

Is Philippians 2 a biblical argument for male headship, or is it a call for ALL Christians to give up status and power in the way Jesus did? In this episode we unpack Kathy Keller’s teaching in “The Meaning of Marriage,” examining the assumptions behind complementarianism, the difference between sacrificial love and unequal authority, and what it really means to take Scripture seriously. Join us as we ask whether our ideas about gender roles reflect the upside-down kingdom of Jesus - or preserve the very power structures He came to challenge.
