marriage is not what I expected...happy 6 months!!

why is being known so scary??

In this episode, our host Kyia Stammer invites listeners to slow down and ask a question worth sitting with, what does it actually mean to be known? As social media promises connection and delivers comparison, Kyia explores the biblical truth that long before any platform, any audience, or any accomplishment, God already knew you fully and loved you completely. This episode is a gentle reminder that you were never made to simply be watched, you were made to be known.
