91X. Love Makes Room with Staci Frenes
06/17/22 • 59 min
We're joined today for a special bonus episode, in celebration of Pride Month 2022, by Staci Frenes, author of the book Love Makes Room: And Other Things I Learned When My Daughter Came Out.
Staci is a singer songwriter, business woman, author, and perhaps most pertinently to today's conversation, a mother. She shares her story with us today of what it took to make room within her evangelical faith structure for her own daughter who one day came out to Staci as a beloved member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

91. Denominational Diversity 102
Why do we have so many different denominations of Christian churches? What is gained and lost with so many divisions, drawing lines in the sands? This question comes from the Patreon group as Sarah wonders why we insist on fracturing when the promise of the new heavens and new earth seems to be unity. What are we missing that we can't begin forging that unity now?
Mentioned in the episode:
- Columbine by Dave Cullen

92. Faith and Imposter Syndrome [Press F To Doubt]
STARTER PACK: Press F To Doubt
Who am I to say what any of this means? When we feel like a fraud as our beliefs ravel out, it's normal to feel isolated and alone. But that's a thing with imposter syndrome, it's a lie. You are valid. Your thoughts are valid. Your beliefs are valid. Today we explore the possibilities on why imposter syndrome can sneak into our faith lives.
