E2: Sniffing out Hypocrisy and Deception

from Prayers from the Middle · host Brianna Wasson

In this episode, Brianna steps into the MRI machine—literally and spiritually. She talks about the moment she woke up to the reality of hypocrisy felt like it entered her world. It started with a pair of tiny metal feet. She was twelve. They were the size of a ten-week-old fetus, pinned to a brochure that told her what righteousness looked like. She believed it. She debated it. Because Christians love babies with teeny tiny feet. But 1984 was burning. Clinics bombed. Protesters turned violent. And somewhere between a Civics class debate and the headlines in USA Today, she felt the fracture. People were hurting people in the name of protecting life. And she couldn’t make it make sense. If you’ve ever felt the sting of waking up inside your own convictions, this one’s for you. Through confession, metaphor, and scripture, she invites listeners to scan their own convictions and discover the difference between junk food theology and the nourishing truth of Jesus. This is not a political rant. It’s a spiritual reckoning. jVlj4v3unnbMadvUVo8T
