Maybe you have unordered and uninhabited faith. You have no foundation…yet. Maybe you’ve never been to church or perhaps haven’t attended church for 10+ years.
The intention of W&W is for anyone who comes from a waste and wild background to be given a foundation, Jesus, who is the cornerstone to build your faith upon. Just as the earth was “formless and void”, God developed order and separated the light from the darkness, so too we help come alongside you to develop and grow your faith through 2 friends having authentic discussions about the Christian faith.
What makes one a people pleaser? Do we know when we are people pleasing?

Ep 8 - Belief, What Does it Even Mean?
Both faith and belief come from the Greek word. Connor explains what this word means along with a biblical story to describe what belief and faith mean. Maria learns what the word “impelled” means. What you are impelled by or believe in is what you will invest in - your time, your money, and your energy.

Why do we always ask God for clarity at camps and conferences and not in the everyday? What does genuine faith look like? What if we don’t have mentors in our life who model genuine faith?

Ep 6 - What are God’s Attributes?
What is the importance of knowing God’s Names and character? What is the most quoted verse in the bible? What do we learn about the character of God in Exodus 34:6? Despite our circumstances, there’s something in proclaiming and declaring who our God is. Everything seems to fall into place when we declare His Names and we talk about that in this episode.

Ep 3 - Does Prayer Change Things? Part II
In this episode, Connor uses the analogy of a father giving his child a cellphone at just the right time, and how God gives his children what they need at the right time (Matt 6:8 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A8&version=NLT)). We also talk about how prayer is a conversation with God, but also how it not only changes us, but it also changes our brain.
