In 2008, Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi tragically lost her fiancé Jeff. The immensity of Gretchen's grief led her into a long season of anger toward God -- but as she shares in this interview, God could handle it. Not only was the Lord capable of sticking near to Gretchen in that season — He also had a redemptive plan.

In this episode, Gretchen and host Adira Polite revisit Gretchen's decision to join the Housewives franchise, the CHAOS that ensued, and how God used it all to prove Himself faithful. They discuss the media's potentially godly and demonic influences (and the need to guard your heart!!), God's use of suffering to produce character, the true meaning of surrender, and the importance of documenting your answered prayers.

Outspoken detransitioner Laura Perry Smalts is the founder of Transgender to Transformed, a powerful ministry that helps folks suffering from gender dysphoria. In this conversation with Adira, Laura recounts her childhood understanding of gender differences and early sexual trauma, which resulted in lifelong hypersexuality, pornography addiction, and persistent gender confusion.

As you’ll hear, Laura went to great lengths to overcome her dysphoria, including a full mastectomy and hysterectomy. Yet, Laura’s mental battle raged on and on and on…until God moved. This is the miraculous story of an unexpected, deep-healing transformation made possible in Jesus Christ.

Having grown up with few financial means, Erica Hardy has long dreamed of making her own way. But since exchanging crystals and yoga for Jesus and prayer, Erica has undergone a massive heart and mind transformation... and with that has come a renewed vision of "success." So what is healthy, God-honoring ambition? And how does it differ from the ambition of the world?

In this episode, Adira and Erica discuss Erica's new age past (which included strange rituals involving menstrual blood...), her decision to marry her husband the week she met him, her hard-won victory over limiting thought loops (spoiler: it was won by Jesus), and how we can confidently work "as to the Lord and not to men" (Colossians 3:23).
