This week on the podcast, I am joined by Kat Wordsworth, author of "Let's Talk About Doubt", to... well... talk about doubt!
In our conversation, we discuss the misconceptions we can have about doubt, the way it is perceived and navigated by many spiritual communities, and the opportunity it offers us for growth.
This episode follows the topics and themes of Chapter 16, "Seeking The Uncertainty", in my book "A Jumble of Crumpled Papers".

This week I am joined by Luci Coblentz and Sovi Louise, sisters who grew up in an Amish community, and ran away together when they were 17 and 20. In this episode they share some of their incredible story and offer some amazing insight into both the similarities and differences between Amish culture and many modern Christian churches, particularly in the ways shame is imbued and experienced.
This week’s focus is on shame, and we have a fantastic conversation on it’s pervasiveness across cultures and systems, and how our perception of God plays a pivotal role in both instilling us with or freeing us from it.
This episode follows the topics and themes of Chapter 10, "A System of Shame", in my book "A Jumble of Crumpled Papers".

This week on the podcast, it's just me, and it's story time!
In this episode I delve into my experiences in my church's high school ministry when a girl and I began to develop feelings for each other, and how the church responded and navigated our relationship. I cover topics such as where the ultimate authority falls in a young person's life, and the damage that can be inflicted when a church's decisions are guided by fear and a desire for control.
This episode follows the topics and themes of Chapter 8, "About A Girl", in my book "A Jumble of Crumpled Papers".
