**Releasing Our Feelings (Instead of Bottling Them)** May 24, 2022

We have moralized the experiences of feeling either UP (it’s good!) or DOWN (that’s bad). It’s seen as better to be happy, peppy, and positive; whereas if you’re feeling blue or sad or angry, we’ve turned that in to a negative. Part of what still needs deconstructing for many of us is this moralization of our emotional world. Rather than bottling or repressing our “down” feelings, may we learn to name, accept, and release them.

**Deconstructing While Still Going to Church** May 19, 2022

Lots of us have experienced a kind of Deconstruction from conservative/evangelical religion. A good portion of those folks have left the church entirely (for very good reasons). But some of us have remained in the world of church. And then a handful of us (like, well, Kate & Colby) have both stayed AND tried to LEAD churches. What is like to try and deconstruct while still attending (and leading!) church?
This is a faaaaascinating conversation!!

Transgender Soul Care (with Austen Hartke) Apr 21, 2022

You know what can suck? Reading your Bible and feeling like you are neither included nor counted.

You know what can be incredibly healing? Having someone show you how, in fact, you are right there on the page, part of the story.

This is one of the many gifts Austen Hartke gives people, a way to read the Bible so that trans and gender-expansive people see themselves in scripture.

Austen is the author of "Transforming: The Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians" : https://amzn.to/3iUcMhZ

and the founder of Transmission Ministry Collective (https://www.transmissionministry.com)

**Why We Don't Entirely Identify with the #Deconstruction Movement** Apr 04, 2022

In part three of our series, “Quote, unQuote, Deconstruction,” we attempt to get a little more clear about why it is that we don’t always entirely resonate with or connect to the #Deconstruction movement. We totally affirm the value of such language and terms, and yet sometimes we find ourselves feeling, well, not very deconstruction-y.

**Investigating Our Savior Complexes** Mar 29, 2022

Continuing our series, “Quote, unQuote, Deconstruction,” we talk about how we grew up being told a story where we were responsible for the eternal safety of our loved ones. We needed to get them to be Christians, or else they’d spend forever in hell. Now, even on the other side of such (bad) theology, we still suffer from the impact of a kind of savior complex.

Recovering an Enchanted Faith in a Skeptical Age (with Richard Beck) Mar 17, 2022

More and more people don't believe in God anymore. At least, not as they've previously thought of "God."

In our modern, secular age, dominated by science and technology, is there space for enchantment any longer? Or have we left all that behind?

In his latest book, "Hunting Magic Eels" (https://amzn.to/3gpDIWz) Richard Becks offers a way to re-enchant our faith in the midst of this, our skeptical age.

We met Richard years ago at our church camp, and instantly we knew he was one of our favs.

Hope you enjoy either getting to know him for the first time, or learning more about his latest work!

It's an honor to have Paula back on the Show!

The Crossroads of Joy and Pain (with Stephanie Tait) Dec 28, 2021

As an author, speaker, disability advocate, and trauma survivor, Stephanie Tait aims to do what she believes is sorely lacking in and around Christianity--connect sound theology and practice with the unashamed acceptance of struggle in the present tense.

According to Stephanie, pain does not exist on a spectrum opposite of joy. Rather, pain, with the way it weaves into our lives, families, and work habits, has been the connecting point of grace and struggle that defines her career.

Come be a part of what will surely be a real, raw, and fascinating conversation!

(Originally recorded as a LIVE Show on August 4th. You can watch that here: https://youtu.be/cdLKo3p2MHs)

**When Evangelical Leaders Tell You Your Why** Dec 20, 2021

In this Garage Session, we discuss the phenomenon occurring right now where evangelical leaders are attempting to tell people why they’re deconstructing.
Kate points out that this experience—of leaders/pastors telling us our story for us—is precisely what evangelicalism has always been about.
Join us as we begin pushing back against this effort to control those of us who’ve left evangelicalism behind.

**Kate's Journey of Bisexual Identity (Garage Session 3)** Dec 17, 2021

In this Garage Session, join us as we talk publicly for the first time about Kate’s journey of discovering and naming her sexual orientation as bisexual.
While it has always been a part of how she’s seen herself, it wasn’t until fairly recently (via a post on Instagram) that she realized this part of her was less clear—at least, explicitly so—to others in her life.
May you, however you identify, find acceptance, belonging, safety and love in this special episode.

Her insight, charm, and heart simply blew us away. We do hope you go check out her work with Faith in Public Life (https://www.faithinpubliclife.org) as well as check out her new book, "Who Stole My Bible?" https://amzn.to/2UrCrqh

More Like Jesus Now Than When I was a Christian (with Susan Cottrell) Jul 14, 2021

When Susan Cottrell was faced with the decision to either support her daughter (who'd just come out as a lesbian) or maintain alignment with her evangelical church, she chose her child.

Then, she created Freed Hearts (https://www.freedhearts.org) because she knew that other people had to make similar choices, and needed resources, support, and belonging.

We welcome Susan to The Kate & Colby Show with wide open hearts, astonished by her tenacious insistence to love people unconditionally. Listen in as Susan talks about her journey of discovery that sometimes in order to more closely follow Jesus we must shift away from conventional religious systems.

To learn more about her story, watch her TED talk which has been viewed over one million times: https://youtu.be/rP01bH9Ljf4

Join us for what will sure to be a night of laughter, tears, and a-ha moments as Flamy shares how Matthew grew up knowing that there was a Flamy inside him, but religion and culture squashed her. Now, as an adult, s/he's out to eff-up gender and liberate people from harmful religious ideas.

Session Two.png — **When You and Your Life Partner Believe Differently** Jun 29, 2021

What do you do in a close relationship when one of you starts shifting to new/different ideas and beliefs? Maybe it’s religious beliefs, or political… but suddenly, you (or your partner) are not on the same page anymore. Scary, right?
In this Garage Session, Kate and Colby share from their experience when they began moving in different directions from the agreed-upon-script they were both given (and dutifully lived out) from their evangelical heritage.
Listen in as Kate shares how, no, actually she’s not just “okay” when her and Colby disagree on something. Rather, she moves through a process of discernment to figure out what the feelings are and why.
It’s some real good stuff, y’all. You’re gonna love it.
———
ALSO IN THIS EPISODE
-Our dog, Belle, struggles to let us get started. She’s a needy (and loud) pup.
-Kate and Colby discuss how/why the feel differently about greeting each other in the morning and wishing one another goodnight. This little convo is worth the price of admission!
-The hosts reflect on how humans became so tribal (good and necessary!) and how now that mentality can work against us.
———
The GARAGE Sessions are special episodes where we pick a particular subject to discuss, share stories from the heart, and laugh while we learn to love one another.
CATCH US LIVE ON WEDNESDAYS
For you podcast listeners, don’t forget that we stream LIVE to YouTube and Facebook, Wednesdays at 7pm PST.

What do you do when you're trying to raise kids in this world and you don't want them weighed down with some of the same religious baggage you had, but you also want to contribute to shaping their values and inspiring them to see what it means to show up in the world for things like justice and peace?
Well, if you're Daneen Akers, you create a stunning illustrated book of modern day saints and holy troublemakers.

Session One.png — **How a Progressive Tolerance Demands a Kind of Intolerance** Jun 01, 2021

Welcome to The GARAGE Sessions! Beginning with Season 6, The Kate & Colby Show became a LIVE show on YouTube and Facebook. Which we love. AND, we also miss the old days of just sitting down talking to each other about life, love, heartache, faith, and all the other good stuff.
Enter, The GARAGE Sessions.
These special episodes are for those of you who, like us, miss the format of Kate and Colby taking on a particular subject, or, sharing stories from the heart, or, just laughing and learning to love one another.
On this episode, we explore the idea that even though within progressive land there exists high values on tolerance, the truth is that in order for that to be most fully lived out there must be a kind of intolerance toward certain ideas, beliefs, and postures.
It’s a tricky balance, but Colby thinks Kate is on to something when we she starts considering the work of birth and death doulas.
You’ll just have to listen to know what we mean.
ALSO IN THIS EPISODE
We get in to some classic “how are Kate and Colby so freaking different in so many ways!” as it relates to lighting. Yup. Lights. We can’t agree.
Or, how/when/if to watch movies.
As Kate says at one point, “it’s remarkable that we’re still together.” :)

Podcast Episode Graphics for IG-6.png — **Breaking the Religious Ties Between Sex and Shame (with Dr Tina Schermer Sellers)** May 19, 2021

Many of us were raised where all things sex was either ignored/repressed on one end, or made the center of the universe (in a bad way) on the other. This created so much Shame. Dr Tina Schermer Sellers is here to help.

**In Consideration of New Evangelicals (with Tim Whitaker, aka, @TheNewEvangelicals)** May 05, 2021

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

If you’ve been around The Kate & Colby Show for even a little bit then you know we have feels about evangelicalism—the religious heritage from whence we came. So when the IG account @thenewevangelicals started popping up everywhere, we got curious. So curious, in fact, that we invited the founder, Tim Whitaker, to come on the Show and chat with us. What ensued was educational, inspiring, and gave us all dose of hope for the future.

We are joined by Candice Czubernat, founder of the nation's premiere LGBTQ telehealth organization, The Christian Closet (thechristiancloset.com)
Candice became a dear friend of ours when (among other things) she visited Sojourn Grace years ago, was a brilliant guest speaker, and challenged us as leaders to be MORE clear about just how open and affirming our faith community is. And she was/is RIGHT! That sort of clarity is desperately needed.
We talked about all sorts of good things, such as: when she told us about some of the gifts of being queer; how an LGBTQ person can navigate the complexities of a family that doesn't accept them, and why tele-health is actually really, really good and important.

Season 5_Ep4.jpg — **Finding Gratitude in the Midst of Suffering** Dec 02, 2020

No one is “grateful” for the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent quarantine life. AND, also, there have been things that have happened during—and as a result of—it that, well, we might really be thankful for.
In this week’s show, Kate and Colby discuss navigating that tension. Of honoring and holding space for life’s Lemons, but also being grateful for the Lemonade.
PLUS: We ask for your help deciding how much Christmas music is enough/too much?

S4,E9 On Faith and Justice.png — **On the Intersection of Faith and Justice** Jul 29, 2020

Maybe you, like us, grew up in a religious context where “justice” was basically just something God would deal with—and much later down the road. In this episode, we share how our evolving beliefs led us to understand that seeking justice HERE and NOW is very, very much a part of what it means to have and do Faith. If God hears the cries of the oppressed, and if we are how God moves in the world, then its up to us to do something about injustice.

S4,E8 On Faith and Choice.png — **On the Intersection of Faith and Choice** Jul 22, 2020

Last week we described faith as, “The things we choose to believe, which inform how we choose to act.” Some people weren’t digging our use of the word “choice.” So in this message, we explore how much agency do we really have in terms of what we believe and how we act. Is it really our “choice?” Such a fascinating conversation.

S4,E7 Pendulum of Faith.png — **Swinging the Pendulum of Faith** Jul 16, 2020

Can we talk about FAITH for a bit? What IS it? Why do we have it? How do we practice it?
In this episode, we share a talk that we gave together at Sojourn Grace Collective exploring two lexical categories of the word faith: as a noun and a verb. Sometimes we need to swing the pendulum from one usage to another as we round out what it means to have/do faith.

S4,E6 Too Emotional pt 3.jpg — **The Myth of Being Too Emotional, Part 3** Jul 08, 2020

Our religious heritage taught us to mistrust our emotions, thus creating a whirlwind of shame and confusion. In this, our final of a three part series on emotional wellbeing and intelligence, we dig in to how Christianity contributed to the emotional stunting of its adherents. Plus, Colby shares about the only 3 times he can remember crying as a kid/teenager/young adult. And Kate takes on the “head vs heart” false dichotomy.
The Kate and Colby show is recorded in San Diego and produced by Wholly Living Studios.

(Song during the episode is “Peace Be Still” by The Hunts)

S4,E5 Too Emotional pt 2.jpg — **The Myth of Being Too Emotional, Part 2** Jul 01, 2020

Myth: Woman have too many emotions, Men have none. Can we talk about that, please? What if ALL humans have deep emotional realities, but women (for a number of reasons) tend to be more connected/in-tune with them than men. Kate shares how society contributes to this dynamic, and Colby shares how he spent most of his life completely detached from his emotions. Plus, have you heard of #Gaslighting? Let’s talk about it.

S4,E4-Too-Motional-pt-1.jpg — **The Myth of Being Too Emotional, Part 1** Jun 25, 2020

Have you ever been told “stop being so emotional?” Or maybe thought, “wow, that person isn’t thinking with their head, they’re being controlled by their emotions.” In this episode, Kate and Colby dive in to this phenomenon, where society often over values what we call “rational thinking” and under vales our emotional capacity. This often shows up in gendered stereotypes as well (which Kate and Colby happen to fulfill rather predictably, so we need to talk about THAT, yes? ;)

S4,E3,Meditation-Defensiveness.jpg — **Guided Meditation for Defensiveness** Jun 11, 2020

In this mini-episode, Colby offers a guided meditation focused on identifying and moving through a defensive response. Specially designed for this moment, those of us who are white are being challenged right now to learn better how to listen and learn about racial injustice WITHOUT getting defensive about it. For some of us, that’s easier said than done. We hope this guided meditation will help you in this effort.

Don't Stop Being You Jun 02, 2020

So about that whole “perfectionism” thing… yeah, let’s talk about that. Both of us are perfectionists, but each in our own unique way. Learn as Kate encourages us to not try and do away with those parts of us, but rather try and turn up the things to help us find balance. Plus: an insightful conversation about the illusion of a “perfect fit” in relationships.

Also, episode includes more original meditations written by Kate. So that’s a win.

What's Making Us Come Alive Right Now Oct 17, 2018

In our first season of this podcast, we used to end each episode with a quick example of a piece of art, a book, a quote, or something else that was making us come alive—i.e., inspiring, motivating, and moving us. We haven't done that in awhile, but today that changes. Here's a whole entire episode of us sharing all the things that are giving us major energy right now. From magic shows to children's TV to old-fashioned dating, come along as we share a few of our favorite things.

A Conversation with Erica and Logan Martin Sep 19, 2018

Hello Pod Pham, we're just so happy to introduce you to some of our favorite people this week! Yes, Erica and Logan Martin are family (Colby and Logan are brothers), but that's far from the only reason why we wanted to sit down and have a conversation with them. They have an incredible story about their journey together and as individuals as they've navigated a lot of loss in leaving church and a lot of new life on the other side. These are beautiful people doing beautiful work in the world, and we think you ought to know about them. Thanks for listening!

A Conversation with Paula Stone Williams Sep 05, 2018

Pod Pham! We are so, so delighted to bring you today's conversation. Welcome Paula Stone Williams: pastor, counselor, coach, speaker, and so much more. We have both been so lucky to get to know Paula as a friend—she is a kind, wise, straight shooter who has done so much to help us come more alive. If you haven't encountered her yet, it's a treat to make the introduction; and if you have, we bet you'll still find some powerful resonance with the stories she shares in today's really special interview.

Making Space for Apostasy: A Conversation with the Hosts of Heathen Aug 22, 2018

Pod Pham, check it out: For the first time in our show’s history we have guests! In this rambunctious and oft-tangented (but the tangents are GOOD, dangit!) episode we sit down with the co-hosts of one of our favorite podcasts, Heathen: Spiritual Conversations for the Godless. Matthew Blake and Karyn Thurston host an incredible podcast that creates sacred space for those who have history with either leaving or being exiled from their faith community. Full of laughs, inappropriate comments, and free-therapy, this episode is a keeper.

Why We Quit Parenting Aug 08, 2018

Gardening & woodworking & parenting, oh my. We love the metaphors that kinder-gardener Alison Gopnik shared on a recent episode of NPR's Hidden Brain podcast, and it sparked our own discussion about raising children. Let's talk the relatively new idea of "parenting," and what we can learn from the art of gardening.

Cancel Culture: When People and Organizations Offend You Jul 26, 2018

What happens when you're already enjoying a book before you realize its author is an unofficial spokesperson for the Alt Right? Today's conversation is a deeply nuanced look at our reactions and responses to people when we discover they're not perfect, have different ideologies than we do, or break faith with us—otherwise known as "cancel culture." What does it mean to receive information from sources we might disagree with—or are we better off in our bubble?

SEASON 3 PREMIERE: But Am I Pretty? Jul 11, 2018

Welcome to season three of The Kate and Colby Show! We're excited to be back and we have a whole new series of questions and topics to talk through, starting with what it's like to grow up girl. Kate shares a piece she wrote about how it comes to be that the only question young girls are taught to answer is, Am I pretty? Then we talk it out: feminine/masculine roles in society and church, the ways we learn to interact with each other based on sex, and more.

A Mother's Passion, What's Different Now, and Coco (Rebroadcast) Jul 04, 2018

(Originally aired December 20, 2017.) Welcome to the final episode of season 1! Kate and Colby close out their 4-part discussion about their faith journeys by talking about how they're different now that they've moved from a conservative to a more progressive understanding of Christianity, as well as the (surprisingly few) things they would tell their younger selves about what they know now. Kate opens with a meditation on motherhood and pursuing your own passions, then she and Colby share what's making them come alive—which happens to be the same thing for both this week!

Reckoning, The Myth of Christian Marriage, and P!nk (Rebroadcast) Jun 21, 2018

Ready to get real? Kate and Colby talk about the myth of a Christian marriage and share some of their own story along the way. Kate imagines what she'd do with a time machine - do we tell our younger selves the things we've learned, or do we let them experience the reckonings to come? Lastly, what do pop star P!nk and those cute Dreamworks Trolls have in common - besides brightly-colored hair? They're both making Kate and Colby come alive.

Ask Kate and Colby: Who Is God To You (Rebroadcast) Jun 11, 2018

(Original air date: January 17, 2018) We're continuing to sift through some of the questions you've sent our way, and today's is a doozy! Andrea wrote in to share that she's become an "accidental agnostic," and wanted to know what we think about the nature of God. Being, spirit, energy, force, guy in the sky—what do we mean when we say "God?" Let's dive in the deep end together!

The Splash Zone, Kaepernick, and Instapoetry (Rebroadcast) Jun 05, 2018

(Original air date: October 24, 2017) This week Colby talks about what it means to be in the splash zone, then he and Kate get into current events with a discussion about Colin Kaepernick, the NFL, and #TakeAKnee before finishing with two very different but equally impactful book recommendations to help you come more alive.

Ask Kate and Colby: Is Jesus Really the Way, the Truth, and the Life? Apr 04, 2018

It's the season 2 finale! We've had a great time responding to a whole bunch of listener questions in this season, and we're closing it out with one more big one. Julie wrote to us sharing her thoughts about how we can learn so much from other religions when we approach one another with respect and open minds, but what do we do about the seemingly exclusive claim to truth that Christians often insist belongs to Jesus alone? Specifically, what do we do with the words of Jesus himself found in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Let's do a bit of a deep dive into these words from the Bible and see what we uncover. Thanks for tuning in for this round of "Ask Kate and Colby," and we're looking forward to kicking off a new season of The Kate and Colby Show in a few weeks!

Ask Kate and Colby: What Is Masculinity? Mar 28, 2018

A very important question—which came first, the chicken or the egg?—leads to an even more important question: what is masculinity? This extension of last week's episode where Kate interviewed Colby goes deeper into what we've both been learning about gender roles and how we're not truly whole people when we only live into the parts society tells us we're supposed to play. How do we reframe our understanding of masculinity and femininity so that all of us can be both strong and tender, bold and nurturing? This is one of the most important topics we've discussed, and we hope you find yourself coming alive through the conversation.

Special Episode: Get To Know Colby Mar 21, 2018

A couple of episodes ago, we let Colby ask the questions as he interviewed Kate. Today, we're flipping the script and it's Kate's turn to draw some interesting stories out of Colby as we get to know him better. We talked career choices, masculinity, what it's like to be a published author, and more. Find out a bit more about what makes Colby tick in today's special episode.

Ask Kate and Colby: What Are The Most Important Things You Teach Your Kids? Mar 14, 2018

This week's question from Mary Jo is a straightforward one: what are the most important things you teach your kids? From bodies and boundaries to hospitality to emotional intelligence, here are some of those top priorities for us. Parenting is hard and beautiful and one of the most important things many of us will ever do. Here's to the parents out there!

Special Episode: Get To Know Kate Mar 07, 2018

The Kate Interview! We've had such a great time answering listener questions in Season 2 of The Kate and Colby Show. In today's very special episode, we decided to shake things up a bit.

Ask Kate and Colby: Why Does It Feel Like You're Attacking Christianity? Feb 28, 2018

We are so thankful for today's listener question. It's not often these days that people who find themselves disagreeing are willing to work to understand one another, but that's exactly what Liza is doing. She is attempting to better understand progressive Christianity as someone who considers herself a modern Christian, but who holds to some more traditional beliefs: things like heaven and hell, for instance. She confesses that sometimes she feels like we are attacking traditional Christianity, and has some questions for us about that approach. Her letter opened the door for some great conversation about how we hope to interact with our fellow Christians who are more traditional, and what we can all do to better understand one another.

Ask Kate and Colby: Do I Need To Do Big Things For God? Feb 21, 2018

Today's question comes from Sara, who is working out how to handle a message she carries with her from her time in a traditional evangelical upbringing. Sara really just feels compelled to live what she calls a simple life: raise great kids, take care of the land she feels fortunate to live on, love the hell out of her husband. But she struggles with the narrative of the "epic Christian" life—one that so many of us have been told our own lives should resemble. Sell everything, go into missions, serve 19 times a week at church—do BIG things for God! How can we reframe our understanding of "big" and "small" things, and the value they each have when it comes to how we live our lives?

Ask Kate and Colby: Unequally Yoked—Can I Date a Non-Christian? Feb 14, 2018

Rebekah sent us a great question to discuss this week. She is dating—and lately, talking marriage and kids with—a partner who is agnostic, which has created some tension with her traditionally conservative Christian family. She was raised to believe that being "unequally yoked with unbelievers" is a pretty serious offense. We can relate. Let's talk about where that idea comes from (the apostle Paul), who it was meant for (Christ followers in the city of Corinth), and how it's been used and abused in our modern lives (Colby may have once quoted this principle when breaking up with a girlfriend!).

Ask Kate and Colby: Can Progressive Christians Still Worship? Feb 07, 2018

We are still taking questions! This week, Matt, who is a worship leader at a progressive Christian church, writes in with a question we've found to be a common one—in fact, it's one we've asked ourselves over the years. When you've embraced a more open and progressive theology, how do then find ways to worship that better align with these values?

The bottom line: it's hard to keep singing songs about substitutionary atonement and total depravity when those things are no longer the crux of your faith. We've had quite a journey with this topic, and it turned out we had a lot to say about where we've found great resources and music to help the people who attend the church we pastor worship in a way that aligns with our mission to help people come alive in the truth that they are loved, liberated, and empowered. You might even be surprised to hear that we didn't completely ditch the whole traditional church music catalog... listen in as we share our thoughts and journey around this issue that so many progressive Christians seem to encounter.

Aske Kate and Colby: I Want To Create, But I'm Stuck—Help! Jan 31, 2018

This week's question comes from Tina, who is looking for a little guidance on how to overcome the fear that inevitably shows up when your soul is calling you to make, write, create, say, and share something. This question got us very excited, because we LOVE to make stuff and we know how challenging the creative process can be, especially when you're battling that inner critic and the fear it likes to stir up. We're excited to share some of the practices and ideas that help us when we need to write books and blogs, preach sermons, or even make this podcast. This conversation is all about how to create fearlessly—let's dive in!

Ask Kate and Colby: Is Chivalry Dead? Jan 24, 2018

We're continuing to answer listener questions, and this week's comes from James, who champions feminism AND also likes to hold doors for the women he dates. What place, if any, does chivalry have in modern relationships between women and men? There are quite a few layers to this quandary, and today we're going to unpack the roots of chivalry, power dynamics between the sexes, and courteous impulses that just might stem from a patriarchal system that still has a small foothold in our thinking.

Ask Kate and Colby: Who Is God To You? Jan 17, 2018

We're continuing to sift through some of the questions you've sent our way, and today's is a doozy! Andrea wrote in to share that she's become an "accidental agnostic," and wanted to know what we think about the nature of God. Being, spirit, energy, force, guy in the sky—what do we mean when we say "God?" Let's dive in the deep end together!

SEASON 2 PREMIERE. Happy New Year and welcome back to The Kate and Colby Show! We're starting our second season by answering YOUR questions! You've been talking to us, and we're excited to respond to some of the great comments and questions you've sent our way. Today, we're responding to Mackenzie who asked: how do I move from a worldview that says "you are completely sinful" to one that says "you are beloved and good?" Join us as we talk about why it matters that we believe in our inherent goodness, and how that changes how we look at everything—the world, people, the Bible, and more.
