Embracing Discomfort - Christians: Love or Hate? w/ Rachel Sprague

Christians: Love or Hate? w/ Rachel Sprague

08/27/20 • 67 min

Embracing Discomfort

It's no secret that Christianity is the most controversial religion there is in North America. What is the Church doing well and what are some points to critically analyze as we look at this religion? In the current climate of the world how is being a Christian something you have to Love or Hate? What can we do better as warriors for Jesus? Are Christians loving more than they are hating? Why is religion something that people have a hard time talking about and how can we speak to people who don't share the same beliefs? There was a lot more to uncover and there is so much more controversy than we got to ,but what is going on with God's church? Why is the Church so quiet? Rachel and I sat down and started a very special conversation about the Church as two women who just do their best to Love God and love our neighbors. She broke down the anthropological definition of racism and how we misunderstand that definition of that word. We dove into boundaries, safe spaces and racial divisions......all the while laughing at the span of the things that divide us as humans ,but even more so as Christ Followers, we offer some solutions and hope anyone regardless of their background can share with us in this uncomfortable conversation!
Much Love!

Amplifying Local Businesses @CommonGroundsGSO w/ Dusty Keene

Hope you've grabbed your coffee this morning! Episode 5 is about my favorite place to get coffee. In this episode, I sit down with Dusty Keene in Common Grounds and he gives me a little history of the place and we talk about what makes Common Grounds so special! We talk about the evolution of the place and some exciting things to look forward to. From the local goods displayed throughout the place to the one of a kind blend that can only be found in this coffee shop. Common Grounds is a place for everyone as well as as every animal it seems! Local Businesses are the heart of any community in my opinion and I hope to highlight some of the local places that I stumble upon and get us all on the local business train.

Amplifying Dominic Vazquez: The Bigger Picture...BLM? Self Love? What Don't We Know?

Dom and I have a enlightening conversation on the topic of Self - Love and how it is the missing piece to the bigger picture that we can only begin to start seeing. We dive into the areas of life that lack a understanding of the benefits of having Self - Love. We consider if the BLM Movement has been co-opted? What even is ANTIFA? The way that self-love is slowed down by co-dependency. Who are the Rothschild's and why do they own all these banks? Why is the world seeming to make the most sense in a time where it seems beyond chaotic? Dom spends a lot of time looking past what the media tells us to pay attention to and sees that there may be a bigger force controlling everything we know. We had so much fun recording this episode, there was so much laughter and I learned a little about a lot of different things. The portrayal of picking sides rather than admitting we may not know if there is one side that is completely correct. The time that we should all take in order to process how we feel and what we want from life. Dom also tells us his unorthodox journey that led him to seeking self love over worldly love. We hope you start considering some of the things we speak about and do some digging for yourself.
Much Love as Always
