Show notes

What does it mean to pray? How can we do it in a way that both feels like us but also doesn't make all about us? And for lack of a better way to word this question: How can we know if it's working? In today's episode we'll share listeners' experience and questions about prayer as well as what may be important to remember as we engage with God and each other. Listen in.

354: Things We're Trying (That We're Still Not Sure About) Feb 11, 2025

Show notes

On a podcast about decision making, I'm always looking for ways to drop us into the middle of the process because I believe there is helpful nuance and insight there. So today I'm hosting a conversation about those things in our lives where we've maybe started something but we're not sure if they're worth finishing. You'll hear from listeners who were willing to answer the question, "what's something I'm trying that I'm still not sure about?" Let's see what insight we can take away while listening to other people. Listen in.

353: Faith After Faith with Erin Moon Feb 04, 2025

Show notes

My guest today is someone who is well acquainted with the decision fatigue that comes along with navigating questions about your faith. I'm so glad to welcome Erin Hicks Moon to talk about the questions we have but are hesitant to bring into the light, about what to say to people who question our faithfulness when we question our faith, and how to move beyond the deconstruction conversation into our next right thing with God, others and ourselves.

Erin is the perfect person to have this conversation with as she's been talking about and writing about this for many years. She also has a brand new book to help you if you're wrestling thorough your own disentangling moment, I've Got Questions: The Spiritual Practice of Having it out With God.

How can you hold onto your faith when you feel lost? How can you respond when people dont' understand what you're going through? What are some of the things no one talks about when they talk about deconstruction? We've got all of that and more with Erin Hicks Moon. Listen in.
