The Best of Our Father Jokes: Christmas Edition show art The Best of Our Father Jokes: Christmas Edition

Not Yet Christian

Need a little Christmas cheer (and a few groans)? This episode is a special edition of Our Father jokes, bringing together more of our favorite holiday-themed jokes from Not Yet Christian. These are the jokes that made us laugh, cringe, pause awkwardly, and laugh anyway. In the middle of a season that can feel busy, emotional, or heavy, this montage is a reminder that joy still matters. Laughter is a gift God gave us to connect, breathe, and not take ourselves quite so seriously. Faith doesn’t have to be stiff, and Christmas doesn’t have to be perfect. So grab a cup of coffee, brace...

Feeling a Little Grinchy? show art Feeling a Little Grinchy?

Not Yet Christian

In this holiday episode Jen uses one of her favorite Christmas characters (The Grinch) to talk about grace, healing, and Christ’s love in the places we feel wounded, bitter, or closed off. Like the Grinch, many of us have had seasons where we couldn’t feel the joy of Christmas at all. We were carrying hurt, walls built from pain, and a belief that we didn’t deserve love or community. But the Grinch story isn’t about evil… it’s a redemption story. A little girl’s love doesn’t shame him or force him to change... It shows him that he’s worth loving, and that’s exactly what...

Cast It and Let It Go | 1 Peter 5:7 Explained show art Cast It and Let It Go | 1 Peter 5:7 Explained

Not Yet Christian

In this Not Yet Christian Daily Bible Verse episode, Jen breaks down one of the most comforting and practical verses in the Bible — 1 Peter 5:7: “Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” This isn’t a soft toss, it’s a full release. “Cast” literally means to throw it as hard and as far as you can... To get it off your shoulders and give it fully to God. When life feels like too much (the stress, the anxiety, the constant pressure to fix everything) this verse reminds us that we were never meant to carry those burdens alone. God didn’t create fear, anxiety, or...

Jesus Didn’t Come to Condemn You — He Came to Transform You show art Jesus Didn’t Come to Condemn You — He Came to Transform You

Not Yet Christian

In this episode of Not Yet Christian, Jen unpacks one of the most powerful moments of mercy in the Bible when Jesus tells the woman caught in adultery, “Then neither do I condemn you… Go now and leave your life of sin.” (John 8:10–11). This story isn’t about shame, it’s about transformation. The Pharisees came ready to stone, but Jesus came ready to restore. He reminds us that conviction draws us closer to Him, while condemnation pushes us away. If you’ve ever felt buried in guilt, this episode is your reminder that Jesus doesn’t point fingers... He extends His hand. Grace...

Finding Gratitude When the Holidays Hurt show art Finding Gratitude When the Holidays Hurt

Not Yet Christian

The holidays aren’t always easy. Between empty seats at the table, strained relationships, financial stress, and memories of loved ones we’ve lost, Thanksgiving can bring just as much heartache as it does joy. In this special Thanksgiving episode, Jen opens up about what gratitude really looks like when life isn’t picture-perfect. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:18  “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”  she reminds us that thankfulness isn’t about pretending everything’s fine, but about trusting that God is still good in...

I Don't Feel Like I Belong In Church show art I Don't Feel Like I Belong In Church

Not Yet Christian

Feeling like you don’t belong is one of the most common and most painful reasons people stay away from church. Maybe you’ve walked through the doors and thought, “Everyone here has their life together but me.” Or maybe you’ve felt out of place because of your past, your age, your family situation, or simply because you’re still figuring faith out. In this episode, Jen and Chaney take an honest look at what it means to belong in the body of Christ, using 1 Corinthians 12:18 as their foundation: “But in fact, God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he...

I'm Not Yet Christian, This One's for You! show art I'm Not Yet Christian, This One's for You!

Not Yet Christian

This episode breaks down one of the most misunderstood excuses for not going to church: “I’m not a Christian yet.” Many people believe church is only for those who already have it all figured out — the faithful, the polished, the “insiders.” But Scripture paints a very different picture. Romans 10:17 reminds us that faith begins by hearing the message of Christ, not by already having it mastered. In this candid and heartfelt conversation, Jennie and Chaney share their personal journeys of resistance, curiosity, and transformation — from sitting in the pews feeling exposed and...

Use BOLDFAITH for 20% off at wearyourjesus.com This episode takes on one of the most common reasons people stop going to church: “I don’t get anything out of it.” Many walk through the doors expecting to be filled, inspired, or entertained—only to leave feeling unchanged. But what if church was never meant to be about what we get? Drawing from Philippians 2:4, this episode challenges the mindset of consumer Christianity and explores how fulfillment comes not from being served, but from serving others. Research on purpose and well-being shows that people who give, volunteer, or...
