    Nov 25 2025

    How do we engage with the Bible in a way that’s both honest and faithful? In this episode, Erin and Ramonita dive into the complexities of interpreting scripture. They explore the tension between absolute and subjective truths, the challenges of understanding God’s Word, and why personal exploration is essential in your faith journey. Whether you’re a lifelong believer or simply curious, this conversation invites you to wrestle with questions about the Bible’s authority, interpretation, and the ongoing discovery of God’s truth.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. The Bible speaks truths that are universal, and truths that we discover personally through reflection and context.
    2. Understanding scripture grows through exploration, context, and curiosity.
    3. Recognizing literary styles and historical context deepens comprehension.
    4. Faith is a journey—discovering God’s truth unfolds over time.

  • S3E9: Is Jesus Really the Way, the Truth, and the Life?
    Nov 11 2025

    In this conversation, we dive deep into what it really means when Jesus says He is “the way, the truth, and the life.” Together, we explore faith, reconciliation, and the bold claims of Jesus—how they challenge us, comfort us, and invite us into something deeper. We talk about what it looks like to feel God’s presence, to walk the ongoing journey of reconciliation with ourselves and others, and to wrestle with questions that strengthen, not weaken, our faith.

    We also unpack why context matters when interpreting scripture and how to hold both grace and truth in tension. Ultimately, this episode reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about religion—it’s about relationship. It’s an invitation to stay curious, keep asking questions, and live anchored in His love.

    Takeaways:

    1. Jesus’ words are an invitation into relationship, not exclusion.
    2. Truth is personal—it’s embodied in who Jesus is.
    3. Following the Way means walking with humility, not certainty.
    4. The life Jesus offers starts now, in the everyday moments.
    5. Holding truth and love together is the heart of reconciliation.

    Oct 27 2025

    In this week’s episode, Erin and Ramonita dive into a question that so many of us have wondered— is there really a right way to be a Christian? From childhood church experiences to moments of doubt and discovery, they share stories that reveal how messy, beautiful, and real faith is.

    This conversation isn’t about having all the answers but about creating space to ask the honest questions. Together, they unpack how culture, tradition, and personal experiences shape our view of faith, and why understanding the heart of Jesus matters more than checking all the boxes.

    If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit the “Christian mold,” this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that faith is a journey, not a formula.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Faith is meant to be explored, not perfected.
    2. Safe spaces for honest dialogue are where real growth happens.
    3. Personal experience plays a huge role in how we understand God.
    4. Love and accountability belong together in the Christian life.
    5. The goal isn’t getting it “right” — it’s getting closer to Jesus.
