"Leading Conversations Podcast" launches November 7th, 2026.

In today's episode, we tackle a tough but important topic: DIVORCE in the Christian community. We'll dive into why the church needs to be more understanding and supportive, especially when it comes to abusive relationships or marrying the wrong person.

We'll chat about what the Bible says, share some eye-opening statistics, and most importantly, offer hope and encouragement. Whether you're personally facing this challenge or supporting someone who is, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore how to find healing and strength in the midst of life's toughest seasons.

In this episode, "Breaking the Silence – Re-examining Women's Roles in the Church," we tackle the often misunderstood topic of women's roles in the church, inspired by 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.

Join us as we dive into the cultural context of Paul's time, explore how these verses have been interpreted, and discuss why they shouldn't restrict women in today's church. We'll also highlight how Jesus empowered women and their crucial role in spreading the gospel.

Whether you're questioning traditional views or seeking encouragement in your faith journey, this episode offers scripture, reasoning, research, and hope.
