Evil and Demons and the Occult... OH MY!
Dear Christians, we're not in Kansas anymore.
In this episode I get really real about the presence of demons and evil in my own life, my own past screwing around with the occult, and how real this enemy is.
We cover everything from the fall of 1/3 of the angels who ended up being cast out of heaven, how this spiritual attack is ignored within our big C Church and little c churches, and a little bit of what you can do about it!

SO, YOU'RE A HOMESCHOOLER NOW?
I caused a bit of a stir when I slammed my fist and shouted "What the public schools are asking you to do right now is NOT SCHOOL and you don't have to do it!"... ok, so I didn't slam my fist but I did tick some people off.
How in the world are families that weren't already homeschooling expected to school, sometimes multiple children, continue to work full time from home, and not loose their ever loving minds??? Well, here are some tips and encouragement!

PANDEMIC SCHMANDEMIC
So, I caused a bit of a stir with a COVID-19 pandemic related blog post: you can read that here: This is NOT Homeschooling and You Don't Have to Do It.
This has been the most Lent Lent ever, am I right? Let's give up Netflix and chocolate and God is all: oh, and mass, and parks, libraries, leaving your house.
It's all a crazy mess but we can't allow the world and the insanity that is happening in it to fog our view of life - which should always be through a lens of eternity.

Finding Friends & When Friendships Fizzle

FINDING FRIENDS & WHEN FRIENDSHIPS FIZZLE
It's been on my heart for a while to speak about making friends as an adult. That ish is HARD. What happens when those friends we thought were going to be BFFLs fizzle out and you're no longer talking? It's heartbreaking and we can feel like "what's the point in all of that time on that friendship?" The root of it all is the trust that God is either using them or us or both to lead us to sainthood whether or not the friendship lasts 2 days or a lifetime.
