🎙️✨ New Episode!

This week, Ashley and Bailee revisit the world of evangelical testimonies—salvation stories we were taught to tell and sometimes sensationalize, celebrated for the “right” narrative, and dismissed when they didn’t fit the mold. From youth group stages to revival tents, they unpack the pressure, the performance, and the hidden costs of being the “story people.”

We also reflect on how these experiences shaped our adult lives, showing up in unexpected ways in careers, creativity, and the way we share our own truths.

**Ashley mentions her miracle-worker massage therapist in this episode. If you live in Minneapolis and are looking for pain care, check them out: @corelifestyle_

✨ New episode of Praise Be to Pod out now. We’re deconstructing American missions culture—the competition, the savior complex, and the legacies it left behind.

🌍 New Episode 🌍

This week, we're talking missions and martyrs. Join us for a conversation deconstructing the culture that compelled missionaries to go to the "ends of the earth" to preach the gospel. We share our own personal experiences on the missions field, wrestle with our conflicted feelings about whether those trips were actually helpful, discuss the legacies (for better or worse) of famous missionaries, and dig into how missions work continues to shape communities today — often reinforcing patterns of colonialism.

Available now wherever you get your podcasts. 🎙️✨

🚨 New Episode 🚨

If you grew up or have a background in evangelical christianity, you've probably heard:
🌀 “It’s just spiritual warfare”
🙅 “You don’t need meds, you need more faith”
😬 “Have you prayed about it?”

In Part 1 of our mental health series, we unpack where those ideas came from, how they shaped us, and what shifted when we met therapy, SSRIs, and our inner child.

In many evangelical and fundamentalist spaces, people (especially women) are pressured to give endlessly of their time, resources, bodies, ambitions, and dreams, all under the guise of it being “for the glory of God.”

But for many, what started as devotion slowly became depletion. Years of unpaid labor poured into churches and ministries, with little to no support in return. Now, they’re left wondering: What do I have to show for?

In this episode of Praise Be to Pod, we unpack the quiet grief and growing clarity that comes with realizing you were exploited, and how we are reclaiming our gifts, labor, and talents today.

🎬 Tune in tonight for our Super Special Wednesday Night Youth Group Episode!

This evening on Praise Be to Pod, we’re reviewing a fringe work of art buried deep in the early 2000s evangelical cinematic universe: Six: The Mark Unleashed (2004).

Starring the worst Baldwin brother (Stephen), Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Eric Roberts, this end-times thriller is as much a deterrent for the faint of heart as it is for anyone with remotely decent taste in film.

Join us as we break down the theology, the casting choices, what was happening in the culture in 2004 and the significance of this forgotten evangelical fever dream.
