Let's face it: the life we claim and the life we live often don't match up. We know the high calling, but we're mostly just trying to survive Tuesday without losing our minds.
Barely Christian isn't about shame; it’s about progress. It's about looking at the struggle honestly, believing that the gap can close, and finding the grace to move forward anyway. We may not be there yet, but we're committed to the journey—one messy step at a time.

Pet peeves, personal preferences, and the pressure to follow rules—Colossians 2 has something to say about all of it. This episode dives into why we get hung up on the little things and how Paul’s words remind us that Christ—not days, festivals, or frustrations—is meant to be our center. A real, honest conversation about irritation, identity, and spiritual focus.

O, but it's too hard!
Ever feel like Jesus is just... hard? Like, really hard? You're not alone. In this episode, we get real about those moments when the Christian walk feels like climbing a mountain with no end in sight. We talk about why it's okay to admit the struggle, how to keep moving when you'd rather quit, and where to find hope when life hits heavy. If you've ever thought, "God, I can't do this," this one's for you-because we've been there too.
Something to think about: what if the hardest seasons are the ones that grow your faith the most?

O But the Light, It Hurts my eyes...
It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are halfhearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday by the sea. we are far too easily pleased.
C.S. Lewis from The Weight of Glory

O, I know You...Really?...Do you?...
Sometimes we get stuck in the monotony of the Christian life. Maybe we forget where we came from? Maybe it's all about us, or maybe we just forget. Who is Jesus? What does He require? Maybe, just maybe, He wants to know us. Get to know Jesus. Don't just BARELY show up. Shoe up knowing you are loved. Knowing the lover...
