Welcome to the 1-Year Anniversary Special of Faith Unfiltered Life! In this episode, Karen, Jovi, John, and Leon pull back the curtain to share the raw, funny, and messy behind-the-scenes reality of building a podcast from scratch—from deleted audio files, camera failures, and refilming episodes 10 times to navigating awkward first impressions on the worship team.

More than a recap, this episode revisits the core mission of Faith Unfiltered Life: creating an authentic, safe space for seekers, skeptics, and worn-out believers. We share how we moved past "filtering the unfiltered" to put every conversation on the table—tackling church hurt, real faith, and the everyday moments that shape our walk with God.

Whether you are looking for an honest Christian podcast, processing questions about your faith, or searching for authentic community, take a seat at the table with us!
