In John 10:1–21, Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd — not one who pressures or abandons, but one who knows His people by name and lays down His life for them.

In this episode, we read through this passage slowly and reflect on what it means to recognize the voice of Jesus amid the noise of everyday life. This conversation isn’t about getting faith “right,” but about learning familiarity, trust, and rest with a Shepherd who stays.

If faith has ever felt loud, confusing, or exhausting, this passage offers a gentler way forward.

The start of a new year can feel loud and overwhelming. Resolutions, goals, pressure to change everything all at once.In this Between the Verses episode, I share how I plan for the year ahead in a way that feels calm, faith-led, and sustainable. Instead of New Year’s resolutions, I talk about setting intentional goals based on where I feel God leading, using a digital vision board, breaking goals into monthly steps, and creating space for prayer and reflection.This episode is for anyone who wants direction without burnout, faith without pressure, and a gentler way to step into a new year.☕ Between the Verses | The Even If Project

In this episode, we walk slowly through John 9:1–41 and talk about what happens when Jesus heals a man who has been blind from birth — and why that miracle leads to tension instead of celebration.

This conversation explores spiritual blindness, suffering, shame, and how faith often grows before understanding does. We look at the disciples’ questions, the resistance from religious leaders, and the quiet but powerful moment when Jesus comes back for the man after he’s cast out.

This is a gentle, beginner-friendly Bible study meant to help you understand the passage without pressure or performance — just Scripture, honesty, and real life.

Mental health struggles don’t mean your faith is weak.

In this episode of The Even If Project, we talk honestly about anxiety, burnout, depression, and emotional exhaustion, and how they intersect with Christianity in real life.

This is not a “pray it away” conversation. It’s a grounded, compassionate discussion about modern pressure, nervous system overload, trauma, and the question so many believers quietly carry: Why would God give me anxiety if He’s real?

If you love God but still struggle mentally, this episode is for you. There is room for honesty, rest, and faith all at the same time.

In this episode, we walk through John 8:12–30 and talk about why Jesus’ words often feel uncomfortable — not because they’re confusing, but because they challenge control.

Below are the reflection questions from this study. There’s no pressure to answer all of them. Sit with the ones that stand out, and share whatever feels honest.1 • What are the areas of your life that feel “fine” until they’re fully seen?2 • When faith starts to feel like it might actually interfere with how you live your life, what do you usually do — lean in, stall, or quietly change the subject?3 • Have you ever felt like you knew the language of faith, but didn’t really feel connected to God Himself?4 • When faith conversations start to feel heavy or uncomfortable, how do you usually respond — lean in, shut down, joke it off, or avoid it altogether?5 • Am I actually still learning… or am I avoiding clarity because I know it might ask something of me?6 • What does it say to you that some people believed before they fully understood everything?Take your time with these. There’s no “right” answer here — just honesty 🤍No pressure. No shame.Just open conversation around Scripture and real life.☕ Grab your coffee, open your Bible, and let’s walk through this together.📖 Passage: John 8:12–30🎧 New episodes weekly

Why does caring what people think take up so much space in our minds?

In this Between the Verses episode, Christina talks through the quiet pressure of managing others’ opinions — from parenting in public, to over-apologizing in everyday situations, to navigating faith without shrinking yourself to keep everyone comfortable.

This conversation is honest, calm, and grounded — for anyone who feels mentally tired from overthinking, people-pleasing, or carrying expectations that were never theirs to hold.

You’re not weak for feeling this way.
You’re human.
And you don’t have to carry it alone.
