Live Like It's True {Bible Podcast}

When you're tempted to judge your adult kids for their choices or behaviors, how should you respond? Michelle Nietert coaches us on how to lead with curiosity, not judgment. Get input for how to lean in with curiosity over that issue you're noticing with your young adult or teen.
Ignoring truth or enabling harmful behavior isn't the answer. Instead, how can you make room for God to work over time?

Do you want to be free of body-shape judging? In this episode of the Live Like It's True Podcast, Shannon Popkin and Susie Renzema examine why we judge bodies—our own and others'—and how God's mercy frees us from shame, comparison, and criticism. Susie shares her personal journey through body image struggles, disordered eating, and spiritual renewal, along with practical ways to reflect Christ's mercy in everyday life.
 Susie Renzema is a Bible teacher who—two decades ago—rebuilt her faith on the bedrock of the Holy Scriptures. With her LetteringHisLove.com Scripture Journals, she invites you to slow down consider every word on the pages of your Bible. 

Susie's favorite person to converse with is her husband, Ron and she is often inspired by her adult children (including her son-in-law), who are the finest humans she knows.

Have you ever wondered whether the church is a safe place for people with messy stories? Do some sins seem more forgivable than others?
Julie* joins Shannon to share the story behind the chapter featured in Kinda Judgy. She opens up about her unplanned pregnancy, the shame she experienced, the day she stood before her church to read a public confession, and how she eventually discovered that God's mercy was far greater than her guilt.
Together, they look at Jesus's encounters with Rahab and the sinful woman at Simon's table, discovering how His mercy transforms both those who feel judged and those who are tempted to judge.
