Leaving Our Preconceived Notions at the Altar

Welcome to the very first episode of Altar’d Reality! We are so excited to start this journey with you as we move beyond surface-level faith and start digging into the Word deeper than we ever have before.In this intro episode, we’re diving into:Moving past the "Terms and Conditions": We’re tired of skimming the Bible like it’s the world's longest terms and conditions. We want to know what’s actually happening in the unseen realm and what Jesus was doing besides making the "best wedding beverage ever".The Altar and the Alter: We share the meaning behind our name—it’s about bringing our traditions, preconceived notions, and religious legalism to the altar so God can alter our reality and restore our vision.Getting to know us:Lauren: The extroverted "rock star" homeschool mom who also holds down a job. She’s a "yes" person who requires a hot tub at every Airbnb she visits.Jennifer: The introverted boy-mom and California transplant. She’s a master baker (ask about her cakes!) who would almost always rather stay home than go out.Our Mission: We aren't theologians or experts, and we might even get things wrong sometimes. We’re just two friends who grew up in the church and want to shout truth from the rooftops while using the Bible as our lens.What’s coming next: We’re getting ready to tackle the "mind-bending" stuff, including the Nephilim, giants, end times, and biblical context.Grab your favorite cup of coffee and join us as we step out of the chaos and into the mysteries and awe of God. We’re here to wrestle with the hard questions and see what He has for us when we finally get out of our own way.Come along with us—we’re so glad you’re here!
