“Every Psychological Problem is a Spiritual Problem” - with Bogdan Ponomar

⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]Perrine is joined by Bogdan Ponomar, founder of an 8,000-member AI community, advisor to companies integrating AI, and creator of My Priest World - a platform designed to make one-to-one spiritual conversations with real priests and pastors more accessible in the digital age. Together, Perrine and Bogdan explore the intersection of faith, technology, purpose, and human connection, and what it looks like to stay spiritually grounded in a world that is becoming increasingly noisy, digital, and distracted. Bogdan shares his story of growing up in Kyiv, Ukraine, being deeply immersed in church life from the age of seven, and how his lifelong faith shaped both his identity and the work he does today. He opens up about how spirituality has always been a constant in his life, why he feels called to bridge the gap between faith and digital accessibility, and how his own experiences in tech and AI led him to build something rooted in service, meaning, and connection. In this episode, Perrine and Bogdan discuss: * Bogdan’s upbringing in Kyiv and how church became a formative part of his life from early childhood * what it was like growing up serving in the Orthodox Church and assisting priests from a young age * how his path through sociology, technology, and entrepreneurship unfolded in unexpected ways * why faith has remained a constant anchor through every stage of his life * the growing spiritual hunger many young adults are experiencing in today’s world * why so many people feel disconnected from church, community, and deeper meaning * the role technology can play in making faith conversations more accessible without replacing real human connection * the vision behind My Priest World and why Bogdan felt called to create it * the importance of bringing church closer to people rather than waiting for people to come first * why AI can never replace the Holy Spirit, real pastoral care, or genuine spiritual guidance * how to hear yourself and hear God more clearly in a noisy and distracted culture * what happens when we drift spiritually and why returning to prayer, stillness, and communion with God matters * why faith continues to be the foundation for identity, purpose, and lasting peace in an uncertain future This episode is a thoughtful and timely conversation about how to remain rooted in God while navigating modern life, digital culture, and rapid technological change.

“Anything Worth Having Will Not Come Easy” - with Nick Singh

Perrine is joined by Nick Singh, founder of EatPing and a food tech entrepreneur on a mission to help more people discover nutritious Asian food. Nick opens up about his journey from a high-pressure career in investment banking to founding his own business, and how faith became his anchor through uncertainty, risk, setbacks, and growth. Together, Perrine and Nick talk about purpose, entrepreneurship, discipline, identity, and what it really looks like to trust God while building something ambitious. Nick shares how his upbringing across Singapore, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and the UK shaped his perspective, why he eventually felt called to leave finance, and how God led him into a completely unexpected path in food and business. This episode is an honest conversation about resilience, surrender, and learning to follow where God leads, even when it makes no sense on paper. In this episode, Perrine and Nick discuss: * how they first got connected through a mutual friend and why the timing felt so intentional * Nick’s upbringing across multiple countries and how faith remained a grounding constant throughout * what drew him into investment banking and why he eventually felt called to leave * the spiritual emptiness that can come from chasing success without deeper purpose * how God met him through uncertainty and led him into entrepreneurship * the early journey of starting a business, watching it fail, and finding the courage to begin again * how the idea for Eping was born in an unexpected moment while climbing a mountain in Morocco * the discipline, resilience, and faith required to build a business from scratch * why success without God never truly satisfies * how prayer, Scripture, church, routine, and service help Nick stay grounded in intense seasons * what it means to lead with Christian values in business and decision-making * why anything truly worthwhile often requires sacrifice, discomfort, and perseverance * how to trust God with the process when outcomes are unclear This is a thoughtful and refreshing conversation for anyone building something, starting over, navigating uncertainty, or trying to stay rooted in faith while pursuing big goals. Nick’s story is a reminder that God’s plans are often unexpected, but always deeper, better, and more purposeful than anything we could map out ourselves. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Produced by ⁠⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]⁠⁠Pineapple Audio Production⁠⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/peaceandpurposewithp/?hl=en]⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the journey on Instagram at ⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/peaceandpurposewithp/?hl=en]⁠⁠@peaceandpurposewithp⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/peaceandpurposewithp/?hl=en]⁠⁠.

“Seguir a Jesús Es una Decisión Radical” - con Brenda Di Aloy | “Following Jesus Is a Radical Decision” - with Brenda Di Aloy

En este segundo episodio en español de Peace and Purpose with P, Perrine vuelve a conversar con Brenda Di Aloy para profundizar en una de las verdades más confrontantes y transformadoras de la fe cristiana: lo que realmente significa cargar la cruz cada día y seguir a Jesús. Juntas hablan sobre la tibieza espiritual, el costo de rendirse completamente a Dios, la importancia de la intimidad con el Espíritu Santo y cómo la vida cristiana no es lineal, sino un camino constante de rendición, transformación y obediencia. Brenda comparte con honestidad cómo Dios fue revelándole que seguir a Cristo no se trata de una fe cómoda ni superficial, sino de una decisión radical que toca cada área de la vida. A través de ejemplos bíblicos, experiencias personales y mucha vulnerabilidad, este episodio se convierte en una invitación a dejar atrás lo tibio y caminar verdaderamente con Dios. En este episodio, Perrine y Brenda hablan sobre: * qué significa realmente cargar la cruz y cómo se manifiesta de forma distinta en cada persona * por qué seguir a Jesús implica morir a viejas costumbres, deseos y zonas de confort * la diferencia entre una vida espiritual tibia y una vida verdaderamente rendida a Cristo * cómo el pueblo de Israel refleja muchas veces nuestra propia tendencia a volver a lo conocido, incluso cuando eso nos esclaviza * por qué el desierto también forma parte del proceso antes de entrar en la tierra prometida * la importancia de la intimidad diaria con Dios y cómo cultivar una vida espiritual consistente * por qué no se puede escuchar claramente la voz de Dios si no bajamos el volumen a todas las demás voces * el rol de la oración, la Palabra, el servicio y la comunidad en una vida cristiana sana Producido por Pineapple Audio Production.

In this second Spanish-language episode of Peace and Purpose with P, Perrine is joined once again by Brenda Di Aloy for a deeper conversation about one of the most confronting and transformative truths of the Christian walk: what it really means to carry your cross daily and follow Jesus. Together, they explore spiritual lukewarmness, the cost of full surrender, the importance of intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and how the Christian life is not linear, but a continual journey of obedience, transformation, and dying to self. Brenda shares honestly about how God began revealing to her that following Christ is not about comfortable or surface-level faith, but about a radical decision that affects every area of life. Through biblical examples, personal reflection, and vulnerability, this episode becomes an invitation to leave lukewarm faith behind and truly walk with God. In this episode, Perrine and Brenda discuss: * what it really means to carry your cross and how that can look different for each person * why following Jesus requires dying to old habits, comforts, and familiar ways of living * the difference between lukewarm Christianity and a life fully surrendered to Christ * how the story of the Israelites reflects our own tendency to return to what is familiar, even when it keeps us in bondage * why the wilderness is often part of the process before stepping into God’s promises * the importance of daily intimacy with God and how to cultivate a consistent spiritual life * why we cannot clearly hear the voice of God if we never lower the volume of every other voice * the role of prayer, Scripture, service, and community in building a healthy Christian life * how the fruit of the Spirit becomes visible when we truly remain in Chris ⁠⁠⁠⁠Produced by ⁠⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]⁠⁠Pineapple Audio Production⁠⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/peaceandpurposewithp/?hl=en]⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the journey on Instagram at ⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/peaceandpurposewithp/?hl=en]⁠⁠@peaceandpurposewithp⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/peaceandpurposewithp/?hl=en]⁠⁠.

“The Only Place I Could Go Was Up” - with Will Whitlock

Perrine sits down with Will Whitlock, a faith based content creator from the UK whose powerful testimony is reaching thousands of people online. Will shares the story of how he went from chasing fulfillment in the world to encountering Jesus in a way that completely transformed his life. Raised in a non believing household and navigating the pressures of young adulthood, Will spent years searching for purpose in the places many of us do. But after reaching one of the lowest points in his life, everything changed. Through a surprising conversation in the gym, an unexpected invitation to church, and a season of deep personal struggle, Will began a journey that ultimately led him to fully surrender his life to Christ. In this honest and encouraging conversation, Perrine and Will discuss: • how Will first encountered faith despite not growing up in a Christian home • the surprising moment a stranger approached him in the gym and invited him to church • the internal struggle of feeling lost even after beginning his faith journey • the three month season that brought him to his lowest point and changed everything • how surrendering fully to God transformed his mindset, habits and relationships • why community and godly friendships are essential in a faith journey • the importance of spending time with God in the secret place • how Will began creating Christian content online and reaching people with his testimony • the power of living out your faith through love and character • why your personal testimony is often the most powerful way to point people to Jesus Will also shares about Iron Circle, a growing Christian men’s community helping men build accountability, vulnerability and strength through faith. Above all, this episode is a reminder that no matter how lost or empty life may feel, God is always ready to meet you where you are. And sometimes the lowest point in your life becomes the very place where your purpose begins. As Will says in this conversation, “The only place I could go was up.” ⁠⁠⁠Produced by ⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]⁠Pineapple Audio Production⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://pineappleaudioproduction.com/]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/peaceandpurposewithp/?hl=en]⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the journey on Instagram at ⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/peaceandpurposewithp/?hl=en]⁠@peaceandpurposewithp⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/peaceandpurposewithp/?hl=en]⁠.
