In this episode, Whitney Capps shares her most recent health update, opening the door to a deeper conversation about the Problem of Evil, pain, and suffering and what these realities mean for our faith. Whitney and Evan explore the difficult questions surrounding why a good and loving God allows suffering, how Christians can respond to the reality of evil, and whether suffering is compatible with the existence of God. Through Whitney’s personal experience, we consider the intersection of faith, suffering, doubt, apologetics, and the Christian worldview. This honest and thoughtful conversation offers both theological perspective and encouragement for anyone wrestling with the difficult questions of pain and suffering. We'd love to hear from you!

In this episode, Whitney Capps and Evan Posey explore the comfort TV shows they return to again and again for familiarity, laughter, nostalgia, and a sense of home. They then turn to the theological books and Christian classics that have become trusted companions, from The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity to The Pilgrim’s Progress. Why do certain stories, characters, and books continue to resonate with us—and what makes us return to them in different seasons of life? Join them for a thoughtful conversation about comfort TV, Christian books, theology, literature, faith, nostalgia, and the stories that continue to shape us.  We'd love to hear from you!

Taking ownership of a project, a ministry, or even a weakness is generally a good thing. But sometimes we take ownership too far—even to the point of an unhealthy control. Most Christians would agree that God owns it all, but do we actually live that way? Whitney Capps and Russ Greer discuss the tension between ownership and stewardship in the kingdom of God.

Dr. Alan Posey joins Whitney Capps and Russ Greer to talk through the importance of goal-setting with your kids with the gospel in mind. We'd love to hear from you!
