In Episode 5 of Rooted & Radiant, Lydia sits down with her sister-in-law Morgan for one of the most honest and respectful conversations we’ve had yet, an open dialogue between a believer and a non-believer. Morgan brings real questions many people quietly carry: “Why do I need God if my life is already good?” “Is God real if I can’t see Him?” “Is Christianity built on fear?” “What does it mean to deny the flesh?” “How do you forgive someone who keeps hurting you?”

This episode isn’t about winning an argument, it’s about planting seeds, creating space for truth, and walking through hard questions with love, patience and humility. If you’ve ever wrestled with belief, struggled with faith vs. logic or wanted to explore Christianity without pressure or pretending, this conversation is for you.

We talk about identity in Christ, intrusive thoughts and temptation, why faith is “believing before seeing,” support systems vs. an eternal foundation, boundaries vs. control, and what it truly means to “fear God” as reverence, not fear-based faith.

If this episode encourages you, consider sharing it with someone who’s curious, skeptical, searching, or simply needs the reminder that questions are not the enemy, sometimes they’re the beginning.
