In this episode, we unpack the tender and often complicated reality of spiritual wandering—whether you’ve felt like the black sheep, wrestled with doubt, or found yourself misunderstood in faith communities. Through honest dialogue and biblical reflection, we talk about the difference between falling away and being left behind, the pain behind anger, and how judgment often masks what is really just deep hurt.

We explore what it means to be a campfire kind of Christian—not someone who tries to fix, lecture, or shame—but someone who radiates the warmth of Jesus. Drawing on passages from John 18 and 21, we reflect on Peter’s denial and Jesus’ gentle, redemptive response: a charcoal fire, a shared breakfast, and a reminder that failure doesn’t disqualify us from love.

✨ We discuss:

Why knowledge and wisdom aren't the same—and how too much pride in "being right" can isolate us.

The ways anger can be a cry for connection rather than rebellion.

What people in pain actually need: not correction, but compassion.

The idea that we are not the light, but vessels that carry the Light.

Jesus’ use of setting, memory, and symbolism to redeem Peter’s shame.

How coming back to Jesus often looks messy—but it is always worth it.

If you’ve ever felt lost in the dark, or if someone you love has drifted from their faith, this conversation is for you. We hope it reminds you that Jesus is still by the fire, waiting with love—not shame.

🔥 Come as you are. Sit by the fire. You are not forgotten.

Welcome back to A Walk Through Genesis with your host, Anna! This week, we’re re-visiting Genesis Chapter 1 — but not like you’ve heard it before.

In this episode, Anna walks us through surprising and often-overlooked truths in the creation story. From the structure of the six days to the significance of the number seven in Hebrew culture, you’ll come away with new insight into the intentional design God wove into the beginning of everything.

✨ Highlights:

Why the real creation on Day 1 might be time — not just light.

How God filled creation in mirrored layers (and why that matters).

The jaw-dropping truth about animals (and humans) possibly being vegetarian pre-flood.

How you were made in the image of God to bring order to chaos.

What it truly means to be an ambassador of God in this world.

We’ll also reflect on 2 Corinthians 5 and the powerful reminder that our earthly lives are temporary — but our role as representatives of the Creator is eternal.

Come for the "did-you-know" facts — stay for the theological encouragement.

Episode Summary:

What is biblical womanhood, really? In this raw, reflective, and challenging episode, we dive headfirst into the complexities, callings, and contradictions surrounding womanhood in the Church. From childlessness and calling to careers and compassion, this conversation is for every woman who’s ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or misrepresented.

Whether you're single, married, a mother, or not—a therapist, a missionary, or somewhere in between—this episode reminds us that our purpose is not a checklist of accomplishments or roles. It’s simply this: to glorify God.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

💼 Calling vs. Career: Why your purpose isn’t your job—and what glorifying God looks like outside of professional titles.

👶 "What if you’re childless?": Navigating the painful and often judgmental question of purpose when you don’t have children.

🧠 Experience vs. Knowledge: Can you teach about marriage or parenting if you’re single or childless? What about counseling if you’re not a parent?

🚺 Gender Bias in the Church: Why female voices are often dismissed where male voices are respected—and how to start shifting that.

📚 Scripture and Balance: The wisdom of Proverbs, the weight of God’s creation, and how balance and unity are central to womanhood.

🤝 Unity Among Women: Homeschool vs. public school. Stay-at-home vs. working moms. We get real about division in the Church and how compassion changes the conversation.

🌍 From Tanzania to Teen Ministry: How years of working with children—biological or not—can still qualify you to speak into the lives of families.

🙏 The Power of Women’s Prayers: A biblical reminder that our prayers matter—to our families, our husbands, and the Kingdom.

Scriptures Mentioned:

Proverbs 11:1 – “A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.”

Isaiah 40:12 – A beautiful reminder of the divine balance in creation.

Psalm 133:1 – “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!”

Key Quote:

“Our children and our marriages can be a product of glorifying God, but they should never replace Him as the purpose of our lives.”
