from Unpolished but Called · host Kathrin Shaffer

Welcome to Unpolished but Called, where we have honest conversations about faith, Scripture, and what it looks like to follow Jesus in real life.In this episode, we're talking about a question many Christians eventually face:Why does everyone online sound like a Bible expert?From YouTube and TikTok to podcasts and Facebook, there are more voices teaching Scripture than ever before. The challenge isn't finding information—it's knowing who to trust when every person sounds confident and every answer sounds certain.As a newer Christian, I've wrestled with this myself. How do we learn from others without outsourcing our faith? How do we avoid being overwhelmed by endless opinions and conflicting interpretations?In this conversation, we'll talk about why social media rewards certainty, why being teachable matters, and why opening your Bible for yourself is still one of the most important things you can do.📖 Scripture should always lead us back to God's Word.🔗Linktree: https://linktr.ee/unpolishedbutcalled📧 Subscribe to the newsletter and receive the free devotional:kathrinshaffer.com🎙️ Listen to The Long Way Through Scripture Bible Study Podcast❤️ Support the podcast and ministry resources through the website.If you're enjoying these conversations, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future episodes.#ChristianPodcast #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #FaithJourney #Discipleship #UnpolishedButCalled

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in Two Recruiters: Zero Filter Two Recruiters At Two Recruiters: Zero Filter, we're on a mission to demystify the hiring process, share insider tips, and empower you to maneuver through the professional world with confidence.
