Season 2 of "The Puzzlers" kicks off with a re-introduction of your hosts: Sue, Val, Tracy, and Catherine. They reflect on moments of faith, growth, and creativity that they experienced since the last season was aired. Together, they explore the theme of granting ourselves permission—to rest, play, fail and talk about the tuff stuff - while teasing thought-provoking questions that shape this season's episodes. With heartfelt stories and a playful energy, Season 2 promises a transformative journey of discovery, connection, and uncovering God-sized dreams.

Previous Episode

The Puzzlers - Season 1_Episode 5 - Holy Living or Wholly Living

Last episode we left you with a few questions to ponder: Is life just supposed to be hard, especially as a christian, or is there any way to build our capacity to handle struggles in life?

In this episode we will puzzle over how we CAN grow in capacity to navigate struggles in life and regain wholeness. Join us as the puzzlers discuss ruptures, repairs, rebuilds and resilience. Along with a lot of laughter we get pretty excited as we springboard off one another with discoveries we've each had in cultivating self awareness of our personal capacity to not just live holy but feel whole. Connect with us as we share deep aha moments that increased our ability to live in peace versus fractured from our best version of ourselves. We talk about perceptions, expectations, building reserves, honoring our personal limits, as well as necessary permissions we need to give ourselves to fuel with joy in a fractured world.

Permission to Talk About the Tuff Stuff

“How are you?” Maybe one of the most frequently asked questions in day-to-day life. It’s a common greeting often responded to with the easy, feel-good answer of “Good-and you?” - even when life is challenging. Puzzle with us over why it’s often hard for us to wholeheartedly share our reality: the good, bad and ugly.
