In this episode, we walk through John 8:21–30 and talk about why Jesus’ words often feel uncomfortable — not because they’re confusing, but because they challenge control.

This conversation is for anyone who:
• Believes in Jesus but struggles to follow Him fully
• Feels tension between faith and real life
• Is tired of performative or fear-based Christianity
• Wants Scripture explained in simple, modern language

We explore:
• Why people pushed back against Jesus
• How avoidance and sarcasm show up in faith
• What “walking in the light” really means
• Why following Jesus feels harder than believing in Him
• How faith can grow without pressure or perfection

This isn’t about having it all figured out.
It’s about honesty, curiosity, and taking one small step toward the light.

📖 John 8:21–30
☕ A real-life Bible study for everyday faith

Why does caring what people think take up so much space in our minds?

In this Between the Verses episode, Christina talks through the quiet pressure of managing others’ opinions — from parenting in public, to over-apologizing in everyday situations, to navigating faith without shrinking yourself to keep everyone comfortable.

This conversation is honest, calm, and grounded — for anyone who feels mentally tired from overthinking, people-pleasing, or carrying expectations that were never theirs to hold.

You’re not weak for feeling this way.
You’re human.
And you don’t have to carry it alone.

In John 8:1–11, Jesus steps into the middle of a moment filled with shame, accusation, and condemnation — and everything changes.

A woman is dragged before Him, exposed and powerless, while religious leaders demand punishment. Instead of responding with anger or shame, Jesus slows the moment, silences the accusers, and shows us what grace really looks like.

In this episode of The Even If Project Podcast, we walk slowly through this powerful passage and talk about:

• how Jesus responds when people are ready to destroy someone

• the difference between conviction and condemnation

• why shame never leads to real change

• and how grace creates space for honesty, healing, and transformation

This conversation is especially for anyone who feels weighed down by their past, afraid to come to God honestly, or unsure how grace and obedience fit together.

You don’t have to have it all together.
You just have to be willing to come close.

📖 Scripture: John 8:1–11
☕ Grab your coffee, open your Bible, and let’s walk through this together.

Have you ever prayed for something over and over again… and nothing changed?
The kind of prayer that keeps showing up in your chest, even when you’re tired of saying it out loud?
In today’s episode, we’re getting honest about the quiet ache of persistent prayer, the fear that comes with hoping again, and the sacred work God does in us while we wait.

In today’s episode, we’re walking slowly through John 7:25–52 — a chapter full of tension, opinions, misunderstandings, and people trying to figure out who Jesus really is.

This moment in Scripture is loud, messy, and divided… and honestly, it speaks straight into what many of us feel today.
If you’ve ever been confused about God, frustrated with His timing, unsure about your faith, or thirsty for something real — this passage is for you.

We break everything down in simple, modern language to help new believers and growing believers understand what’s really happening here, why people responded the way they did, and how Jesus invites us into something deeper.

🌿 Reflection Questions for the Week

• 1. Where might God already be moving in your life — but because it looks ordinary or familiar, you haven’t noticed it yet?

  2. Where have you settled for knowing about Jesus instead of actually knowing Him?

  3. Where are you trying to control something instead of trusting Jesus with it?

  4. Where are you spiritually thirsty right now — and what would it look like to bring that thirst to Jesus?

  5. Where might you be resisting God simply because His plan doesn’t match your preference?

  6. Have you been looking for Jesus only in “religious” places, when He may be meeting you somewhere simple and unexpected?

  7. What small step of courage is God asking you to take this week — even if no one celebrates it?

     🌿Application — Living This Out

  • Notice the ordinary places where God might already be moving

  • Be honest with Jesus instead of trying to perform

  • Surrender one thing you’ve been gripping tightly

  • Bring your “spiritual thirst” to Jesus instead of filling it yourself

  • Ask Him to show you where He’s already speaking

  • Take one small step of courage, just like Nicodemus did

In this episode, we’re talking about something a lot of Christians feel but rarely say out loud: the rise of fear culture in modern Christianity.
You know… where every movie is picked apart, every symbol is “demonic,” and every piece of normal entertainment becomes a spiritual conspiracy.

But when we look at Jesus — like actually look at Him — He didn’t live afraid.
He didn’t run from culture.
He walked through it with confidence, wisdom, and love.

This conversation is for the Christian who wants to love Jesus deeply…
without living scared, judgmental, or burned out.

You’re allowed to be a normal person.
And your faith is stronger than you think.

In John 7:1–24, Jesus walks straight into confusion, pressure, and misunderstanding — and He stays steady the whole time. His brothers don’t believe Him. Crowds argue about who He is. Leaders judge Him harshly. And still, He moves in God’s timing, not theirs.

If your faith has felt heavy, slow, or stretched this week… this chapter speaks straight into that place.

Grab your coffee and your Bible — let’s settle in and walk through this together.

In this episode of our new series, Once Upon a Verse, we’re retelling the story of David & Goliath through a modern, everyday moment — a Friday night football game, a freshman no one notices, and a giant everyone fears.

Then we go back into Scripture to hear the real story in 1 Samuel 17 and talk about what it means for our lives today.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unprepared, or unsure if what you do in the quiet matters… this one’s for you.
