Discussing the Blueprint of Godly Manhood

In this episode of Faith Unfiltered, we tackle the "modern crisis of manhood" by stripping away societal confusion and returning to a foundational, biblical blueprint. As cultural expectations for men continue to shift, many feel aimless or stuck between being overly assertive and entirely passive. We dive deep into the Five Pillars of Biblical Manhood to help men reclaim their divine purpose and lead their families with both authority and humility. Explore the five pillars of biblical manhood—Provider, Protector, Priest, Prophet, and Servant King. Learn how to lead your family with spiritual purpose, humility, and intentionality in this episode.

This Isn't the Motherhood you Post About: Adoption, Miscarriage, and Trauma Part 2

In part two of Faith Unfiltered Life’s series “This Isn’t the Motherhood That You Post About,” Karen and Jojo continue their conversation with Sarah Bell about unexpected motherhood as a birth mom. Sarah describes preparing to meet her daughter Abby decades after an adoption, wrestling with internal shame over past choices, and hearing messages about freedom from shame that helped her reframe Abby as a whole person rather than a reminder of actions. She recounts meeting Abby, learning to share her story, and seeing God’s redemption throughout her trauma and decisions, connecting it to Rahab’s redemption arc. Sarah discusses ongoing grief from leaving the hospital without a baby, encourages birth moms to seek community and help, highlights Brave Love as a resource, and shares how her blended family embraced Abby and how Abby’s son is an unexpected gift. #mothersday #mothers #adoption #shame

Unlikely Women Who God chose Anyway

Most ancient genealogies followed a strict rule: No women allowed. So why did the Gospel writers go out of their way to include five specific women in Jesus’ family tree? The answer isn't just "history"—it’s a scandal of grace. In Part 1 of our "Unlikely Women" series, we’re looking at Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. These weren't "perfect" Sunday school characters; they were survivors, outsiders, and bold risk-takers who carried the lineage of the Messiah when the world told them they didn't belong. If you’ve ever felt like your past or your labels disqualify you from God’s plan, this episode is for you. Jesus didn't just come for the broken—He came from them.
