Living in the And

Would you give your kid the option of whether to attend Sunday morning church or not? What about letting them attend a different church than your family? On this episode, we talk about giving our kids the freedom to choose what their faith journey looks like and the beauty we've found in doing so. We hope this episode gives you a little peace and a whole lot of freedom as you parent your kids on their faith journey.

Let's talk about our state of mind, shall we. It seems like there's tragedy and trauma all around us everyday. We've gotten better at talking out loud about mental health, but how are we really? We talk about being better communicators when we are unwell and better partners when our friends and loved ones are suffering. We hope you listen today and find that you are not alone.

It is time we close our mouths and start to listen.

We need to accept that we really don't know.

It is time we start listening to each other again.

It is time for us to get outside of our four corners & see each other.

We chat about how we've been pretty bad listeners lately. We are longing for certainty in a world of constant chaos and unrest. What is we found peace in the chaos by living in the unknown; in the and? It is time we stop talking and start listening.

Have you ever noticed that most churches don't have windows? What about how the church wants members to serve within its four walls and not outside of that space? What about programs? Oh, the programs. While none of these things are wrong or bad, we chat about the need to get outside out four walls and live in the and: in community with those outside of the church.

Welcome back! Can you guess who took a break from church and who went back? We give you a life update and chat about where we are at in this whole faith and church thing. Come along and let us know where you are in your faith.

We go there, in this episode. The two of us are passionate about healthy conversations about our sexuality. Today we chat about the lack of teaching in regards to sexuality and the Church. We also talk about the shame culture that comes with sexuality for both men and women. Our hope and desire with this episode is that you can begin to have a healthy relationship with sex and your own sexuality.

When we hear someone say they've been hurt by the church, we often think of the big hurts: abuse of power, sexual abuse, lack of opportunities for women in leadership, etc. While we briefly touch on these topics, this episode is about the unspoken church hurts; the ones that happen but you don't really talk about because they aren't big. But, it still hurts. Come along with us as we work through the complexities of church hurt, how to identify these hurts, and how to move past them. 

We would love to hear your thoughts. Please leave a comment or review. And don't forget to subscribe and follow us on Instagram.@livingintheandpodcast @megankfish @beautebybrit
