  • S3E6: A House Divided: Can We Disagree and Still Be United?
    Sep 30 2025

    Reconciliation is needed more than ever in today’s world. The body of Christ often appears fractured and divided, but Jesus prayed for unity among His followers. So what does it look like to actually live that out?

    In this conversation, Ramonita and Erin dive into the pressing need for reconciliation in the body of Christ amidst a week filled with heavy news and heightened division. They explore the complexities of human experiences, the impact of social media, and the importance of unity over uniformity.

    Together, they wrestle with hard but necessary questions: How do we love our enemies? How do we forgive when it feels impossible? And how do we move from building walls that divide to tables that invite conversation, understanding, and healing?

    This episode will challenge you to see disagreement differently, encourage you to listen deeply, and invite you to step into the reconciling work Jesus calls us to.

    Key Takeaways:

    * Unity does not mean conformity—it’s about understanding different perspectives.

    * Social media can amplify division, but intentional dialogue can foster reconciliation.

    * Disagreement is not the same as disunity; we can disagree and remain united in Christ.

    * Forgiveness is difficult but essential for healing and reconciliation.

    * Our identity in Christ empowers us to extend love and grace even in conflict.

    * Building tables for dialogue is more powerful than building walls of division.

  • S3E5: Are Humans Innately Good, Bad, or Somewhere In Between?
    Sep 16 2025

    Are people born good? Broken? Or somewhere in that messy middle? In this episode, we dive into one of the oldest (and most important) questions about human nature.

    Together, they explore:

    * How nature, nurture, and choice shape who we become

    * Why grace and accountability both matter in how we see ourselves and others

    * The power of love to transform lives and communities

    * What the Bible says about being created in God’s image while living in a fallen world

    This conversation is all about wrestling with the tension between who we are, who God created us to be, and how His grace makes reconciliation possible.

    Whether you’ve always believed people are “mostly good,” wrestled with the reality of brokenness, or are just curious about how faith fits into it all, you’ll find encouragement and honesty here.

  • S3E4: Does God Really Answer Prayers?
    Sep 2 2025

    Ever wondered if God really hears your prayers? In this episode, we get real about the times God has said yes, the times He’s said no, and the harder ones—not yet or not like that. We share our own stories of waiting, wrestling, and finding hope, and remind each other that prayer isn’t a formula to get what we want—it’s about staying close to God in every season.


    Here is some of what we discuss in this episode:

    * Why unanswered prayers can shake our faith

    * The difference between treating prayer like a formula vs. a relationship

    * The role of trust, patience, and perseverance when God says wait

    * Personal stories of provision, heartbreak, and hope that shaped our prayer lives

    * How shifting our prayers from self-focus to kingdom-focus changes everything
