  • Why Does Christian Art SUCK?! (And is Fake Cussing a Sin?)
    Jun 7 2026

    Episode 4 is what happens when we don’t really have a topic and just start talking. We cover worship songs we’re loving, cussing and replacement words, how the three of us became friends, and whether guys and girls can actually just be friends. Then we get into real friendship, humility, Christian art, Christian apparel, Christian rap, cross necklaces, Bible verse bios, and Bible verses people use out of context — especially Jeremiah 29:11 and Philippians 4:13. Basically: friendship, Christian culture commentary, theology-adjacent chaos, and the three of us trying to figure out if we have actual thoughts or if we’re just talking.

  • Defending Charismatic Worship & Worship as Adoration
    May 31 2026

    Episode 3 is about worship: what it is, why we do it, and why one of us had to be theologically convinced that raising our hands in church wasn’t weird. The three of us all grew up with pretty different worship backgrounds: Bex in a charismatic Pentecostal church, Destiny in the Catholic Church, and John in a more conservative Bible church environment. So we talk through how those backgrounds shaped us, what we used to think worship was, and how the Lord has changed the way we understand it now. We get into John 4, where Jesus says the Father is looking for worshipers who worship in spirit and in truth, and we talk about what that actually means in real life. Not just singing the right words. Not just having good theology. Not just feeling something during the bridge. But actually offering something to the Lord. We also talk about worship and prayer rising like incense in Revelation 8, the sacrifice of praise in Hebrews 13, thanksgiving as worship in Psalm 50, David’s worship in 1 Chronicles 15 and 25, and Romans 12, where Paul says our whole lives are meant to be offered to God as spiritual worship. Basically, this episode is our attempt to defend worship that is expressive, biblical, surrendered, and maybe a little uncomfortable if you grew up a part of the “Frozen Chosen.” We talk about lifting hands, sacrifice, surrender, Catholic reverence, charismatic chaos, Gary V, and why worship is not ultimately about what we get out of it.

  • How Does God Actually Change Us?
    May 24 2026

    Episode 2 is here! We are talking all about how we actually change by the power of the Spirit, how good friendships lead to conviction and repentance, and how Jesus brings reconciliation to broken relationships. This week we get into Romans 8:14–17, aka the “Call Him Abba” origin story, and then dive into John 15 to talk about Jesus as the true vine, what it means to abide in Him, and why pruning is painful but necessary. We also talk through 2 Corinthians 3 and how the Holy Spirit transforms us “from one degree of glory to another,” which sounds very holy and also very much like God graciously wrecking our plans. From there, we get into friendship, rebuke, repentance, and why “do you, girl” is not biblical love. We talk about Proverbs 27:5–6, 2 Corinthians 5, the ministry of reconciliation, forgiveness in Mark 11, living at peace with people in Romans 12, and not letting anger give the enemy a foothold in Ephesians 4. Enjoy!
