Ask Kate and Colby: Am I Inherently Good? Jan 10, 2018

Show notes

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.

Eucharist, Fairy Tales, and Real Greeting Cards Nov 15, 2017

Show notes

When someone tells you their story, do you ever wonder if you're getting the fairy tale version? Kate and Colby had everyone's favorite "how we met" story, and they had telling it down to an art. The only problem? It wasn't the whole truth. Tune in to hear about their transition from telling their Disney story to something just a little more authentic. Also, Colby gives you something to consider the next time you take communion, and he and Kate share about a crooner and a greeting card artist that are making them come alive.

Reckoning, the Myth of Christian Marriage, and P!nk Nov 08, 2017

Show notes

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.

Benefit of a Doubt, Conflicting Creation Stories, and a Broken Piano Nov 01, 2017
