Special guest Rachel Judge joins the podcast and talks through her experience growing up in the church and then finally navigating through making faith her own. From feeling faith was obligatory to now feeling like it's one of the most important parts of her life, Rachel's thoughts and feelings on faith have changed over her life.

Sometimes faith can be hard, especially if we grow feeling pressured to perform or look a certain way. As we explore faith first through that lens and then outside of it there can be a number of challenges. Our experiences with churches can reinforce our own misunderstandings about faith or challenge us to define it well.

Juliana Nelson joins the podcast to talk about her experience coming to faith and then considering a career in ministry. From an amazing encounter with Christ, to some frustration, and even some hurt, Juls talks through her faith story and where she's at now.

Church can be hard, especially the path to vocational ministry. From experiencing deep joy and excitement on one side to unmet expectations and hurt on the other, the intersection of faith and life can be a challenge.

Special guest Joshua Vicenti joins the podcast to talk through his experience coming to Christ and the Church later in life. From experiencing the life change of the Gospel to growing in a church and experiencing some frustration he walks through his experiences and the ways he seeks to follow after the Lord.

The path to Christ, the Church, and finding a church isn't a cookie cutter, one size fits all journey. Joshua's insight and experience stresses that there's no wrong time to turn to the Lord and that sometimes exploring and living in the tension between our expectations and experiences can be challenging but ultimately health.
