    Being Single Is Not a Sin: The Soloists Revisited
    2025/06/09
    Ever felt the pressure of being single in a relationship-driven world? In this episode, we revisit our November 2024 conversation with Mallory Everton and Diana Brown, creators of The Soloist Podcast. They dive into the complexities of being single within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sharing their personal experiences of navigating societal and religious expectations around marriage. Mallory, a comedian, actor, and writer known for her time on Studio C, and Diana, Assistant Director of Interreligious Engagement at Georgetown University, offer valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of being single in a faith-driven community. They delve into the emotional toll of unmet expectations, how faith can guide us through life’s uncertainties, and the importance of finding worth beyond relationships. With humor and heart, Mallory and Diana highlight the need for more inclusive, empathetic conversations about singleness in church communities. Their advice? Embrace wholeness, lean on community support, and focus on creating a narrative where success and happiness are not defined by relationship status. Whether you’re single or want to better understand your single friends, this episode is packed with wisdom and compassion for everyone.

  • Changing Climate, Unwavering Faith: YECA's Lauren Kim Revisited

    Changing Climate, Unwavering Faith: YECA's Lauren Kim Revisited
    2025/05/30
    What does it look like to follow Jesus in the face of climate change? In this episode, we revisit a powerful conversation with Lauren Kim, National Organizer and Spokesperson for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA). Originally aired in November 2024, this episode explores Lauren’s journey into environmental activism—shaped by her Evangelical faith, her sister’s asthma caused by land burning, and her deep love for God’s creation (especially cows and horses, thanks to her time in Texas). Lauren believes deeply in the mission of environmental stewardship as a practice of obedience, kindness, and radical love toward Jesus and His creation. A graduate of the University of Virginia in Global Security and Justice, she brings both academic insight and spiritual conviction to her mission. She also highlights the role of YECA in equipping young Christians to respond faithfully to the climate crisis and the importance of collaborating across faith traditions for the common good. P.S. Please don’t spontaneously book a flight to Idaho without a plan. Be safe out there.
