047 | Sometimes You Are the Problem in Your Relationships | Dr. Wendy Douglas
Faith | Relationships | Compatibility | Chemistry | Attraction | Obedience
What if the patterns hurting your relationships are coming from you?
In this episode of Hold This Thought, Christian sits down with Dr. Wendy Douglas to talk about faith, relationships, healing, self-awareness, and the patterns that shape how we move through life.
Dr. Wendy shares lessons from her books Dating and Waiting with God and Reset: Managing Life’s Chaos, Setbacks and Relationships. She shares insights such as why dating is data, why chemistry does not always mean compatibility, and why sometimes you have to pause and honestly evaluate your own role in a relationship.
The conversation also explores what happens when God removes things we thought we needed, why Christians have to guard against becoming modern day Pharisees, how mentors and difficult experiences shape leadership, and why the situations that feel beneath us can sometimes be preparing us for something greater.
At the heart of the conversation is a simple challenge: look inward, get honest, and let God reshape what needs to change.

046 | Blind Draw | I Was In A Cult For Eight Months | Hunter Hensley
Cults | Magic | Faith | The Constitution | Pickleball | Women's Sports
Hunter Hensley returns for Blind Draw, and the conversation goes everywhere. We unpack Hunter's experience in a controversial Christian community that he now describes as a cult, including prophetic claims, questionable interpretations of Scripture, and a 20% Donation expectation that made him start questioning the entire relationship.
Then the questions get progressively harder:
Are aliens real?
Is magic real?
Is the Constitution outdated?
Would you give up free speech or the right to bear arms?
The conversation eventually moves through faith, supernatural experiences, conspiracy theories, government power, personal identity, competition, and the beliefs each of us would actually be willing to die for.
Oh, and of course- Pickleball. What's YOUR DUPR?

Along the way, the questions get increasingly ridiculous, but some answers turn unexpectedly personal and reveal how differently two people see life, creativity, friendship, and the future. No scripts, no preparation, and only one pass.In this Episode: Name something you're surprisingly good at...What's a weird thing you do but think is normal?What's your most recent search or browse history?You're on a deserted island.
