How To Show Up In The Midst Of Suffering
Love & The Outcome Podcast
Hey, it’s Jodi here! I’m so excited to share with you some of the new parts of my book, “You Got This - A Guide To Living A Full Life In The Midst Of Suffering.” I originally released my book during COVID, and then our house flooded. Our family went through a lot of difficult things, so eventually I decided it was time to share some of the stories, songs, and scripture verses that helped me get through it all. If you or someone you know is going through a difficult time where they feel like they’ve done everything right and life has still gone wrong, this episode is for you. I’m...

HUMAN: Story Behind The Song
Love & The Outcome Podcast
It’s been a minute since we released a podcast, but we have a new song out called HUMAN, and we wanted to share how it came to be. God is good, life is hard. It’s not one or the other. The fact that two things can be true at the same time has held us together over the past few years. This song encompasses the story of our house flood, how we survived and made it through to the other side. Although it may sound like a depressing episode, we promise you will feel seen love and uplifted! Hope you enjoy this conversation. Listen to HUMAN here: PS - If...

When The Bible Feels Too Scary To Read To Your Kids
Love & The Outcome Podcast
Chris & I just read “The Bible Tells Me So” by Peter Enns, & it’s helped us feel ok with our questions about the Bible. Whether it be genocide in the Old Testament or wrestling with the commandment “thou shalt not kill”, there’s a lot that makes us uncomfortable. It hit us while we were reading Bible stories to our kids, that there is a lot that is too R-rated for them to handle. It left us with a lot of questions, and in case you are in the same boat, we wanted to give you permission to jour

Why Wilderness Seasons Aren’t All Bad
Love & The Outcome Podcast
Wilderness seasons are never something I pray for. It’s just not that much fun being in a season where you lack clarity & purpose. But here’s the good news: Jesus & John the Baptist wandered in the wilderness, so it can’t be all bad! There has to be a deeper purpose to it, a way to wander well even on our worst days. This realization has helped me so much in a season full of “I don’t know.”

Love & The Outcome Podcast
Jasmine Murray is the kind of influencer you want to follow. American Idol top-13 finalist, Miss Mississippi & top 10 Miss America, she’s had to deal with how to be authentic while still stepping on stage to impress. We had a good ol’ girl chat about all the things! Hope you enjoy this conversation with singer/influencer/powerhouse woman, Jasmine Murray!
info_outlineWelcome back to the podcast! We took a break this summer after our house flooded, thinking we’d start it back up when we were back in, but alas we are still waiting…
The good news is we have a lot to share from this displaced transition season, so we thought we’d embrace it with “Conversations in the Car with Chris and Jodi.” A little series within the podcast where we literally press record and let you into our chats on the road, and edit nothing (sorry for the road noise)! Jodi and I both just read “The Bible Tells Me So” by Peter Enns, and it’s helped us feel ok with our questions about the Bible. Whether it be genocide in the Old Testament, and wrestling with the commandment, “thou shalt not kill,” while God seems to order the killing of women & children & entire people groups, or all the Levitical laws that don’t seem to apply anymore, there’s a lot that makes us uncomfortable. It hit us while we were reading Bible stories to our kids, that there is a lot that is too R-rated for them to handle. It left us with a lot of questions, and in case you are in the same boat, we wanted to give you permission to journey with us. This episode provides more process and questions than answers, but there will be follow up episodes where we dig deeper into these questions. Wanted to be honest about the where we’re at, so come along for the ride!
Here’s a link to Peter’s store if you’d like to check it out!
Sending love,
Chris, Jodi, Milo & Ziggy
