16. From Baby Rolls to Burned-Out Altars
In this episode of Green Room, Sydney and Chloe reunite after a six-month break to talk about baby Amara, moving chaos, and life settling into a new normal. They share honestly about the updated IHOPKC pastoral team recommendation, the ongoing grief of leaving that movement, and the disorienting process of realizing how much deception and dysfunction shaped their faith. They discuss how old IHOP language still shows up when they pray, what it looks like to relearn prayer without performance, and why staying in the conversation—with Scripture, Jesus, and safe community—matters even when the church sometimes feels complicated and painful.
