#286 "I Am Me" - Tell Us More Sep 16, 2024

Show notes

Emmy and Natalia answer a listener question about what it means that we're all loved the way we are and how our lives are supposed to be for a "purpose." What purpose? Is that really true? Or is it just a holdover from some toxic early 2000s theology?

#285 Is Confession "good for the soul"? Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

Emmy and Natalia keep the sacramental conversation going with confession - what is it and do we need and why do we do it and does it even matter if it's not officially a sacrament for everyone?

#284 Does God Still Anoint People? Sep 02, 2024

Show notes

Emmy and Natalia do a little more sacramental conversation and then move into a current topic of political anointing. Does God anoint candidates? How do we talk to people who believe certain people are anointed for a particular political position and others are not?
