Unqualified Podcast

In this mini episode, Paige and Danielle share candid reflection about something they encounter often on social media: the harshest criticism frequently comes from other Christians. When Paige posts content online, she expects pushback from people who don't share her faith. What surprises her most, however, is how often the most aggressive comments come from believers who approach conversations with a tone of superiority, correction, or judgment. This episode raises an important question: If Christians are meant to reflect the love and character of Jesus, why are we attacking each other online? Rather than shaming or calling out individuals, Paige and Danielle challenge listeners to examine the culture we're creating in Christian spaces online. Are our words drawing people closer to Jesus—or pushing them further away? This conversation is an invitation for believers to pause, reflect, and consider how we engage with one another in public spaces, especially in the digital world.

Prioritizing Healing in Marriage | Marriage Series Part 2 Featuring Travis & Amanda Sitzman In Part 2 of our Marriage Series, Paige Loehr and Danielle Welch are joined by Travis and Amanda Sitzman for a candid and vulnerable conversation about prioritizing healing in marriage. Building on the themes introduced in Part 1, this episode continues to challenge some of the common ways marriage is talked about within the church. Rather than offering a teaching session or step-by-step advice, this conversation is simply an open discussion—one centered on honesty, personal growth, and the role healing plays in healthy relationships. Together, the group explores the importance of doing your own personal healing work, as well as learning how to pursue healing together as a couple. Travis and Amanda share parts of their story and experiences, offering a perspective that many listeners may relate to in their own relationships. Ultimately, the heart behind this episode is to encourage couples to prioritize their marriages, pursue healing where it's needed, and begin reshaping the expectations around what marriage can look like moving forward. We'd love to hear your feedback on this conversation. 📲 Connect with Paige on Instagram: @paige_loehr

Marriage Myths Busted: Challenging What We've Been Told (Part 1) In this episode, Paige Loehr and Danielle Welch begin a two-part series on marriage by addressing two common messages often heard in Christian culture: "Marriage will be hard." The warning about the "slippery slope." While these ideas are often shared with good intentions, Paige raises an important question: What expectations are we creating when we repeat them? Too often, marriage is framed through the lens of caution, struggle, and the stories of couples who had to overcome major challenges. While redemption stories are powerful, Paige believes the church may need to reconsider who is shaping the narrative around marriage and what message we're reinforcing for the next generation. What if, instead of preparing couples to expect difficulty, we began encouraging them to expect goodness, health, and joy in their covenant? In this conversation, Paige and Danielle unpack how expectations influence relationships and why the church might need to shift the tone of its message—moving from a mindset of survival to one of faith, hope, and belief in what God designed marriage to be. This episode is an invitation to reconsider what we've been told and begin imagining a different story for marriage.

Sermon by Paige Loehr | Preached at The House of Freedom | February 8, 2026 In this special episode of Unqualified, we're sharing a powerful sermon from Paige Loehr preached at The House of Freedom on February 8, 2026. In "Kingdom Leaven vs. Religious Leaven," Paige unpacks the difference between operating from a Kingdom mindset versus being shaped by the constraints of religiousness. Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, she challenges the body of Christ to examine what is influencing their faith—intimacy with God or inherited religious systems. This message is a call back to: Intimacy over performance Relationship over ritual Kingdom authority over religious control God is inviting His Church to be leavened by His Spirit—not by tradition, fear, or man-made expectations.

In this special audio drop from the Unqualified podcast, Paige Loehr shares a powerful excerpt from a sermon she preached at her home church, House of Freedom. This message dives deep into the spiritual significance of our thoughts, emotions, and the lies we believe, tracing the root of all sin back to the original lie in the Garden of Eden. Paige explores how every sinful action can be traced to a false belief—a lie we've accepted as truth. She challenges listeners to consider who they could become if they stopped believing those lies and instead aligned their minds with God's truth. The teaching is both bold and compassionate, intended to awaken hearts to the spiritual battle that begins in the mind. Although there is no video recording of the full sermon, this audio-only format delivers just as much impact.

In this episode of the Unqualified Podcast, Paige and Danielle are tackling a conversation that's been stirring in their hearts: evangelism without discipleship isn't enough. While evangelism is essential and powerful, we're seeing an alarming gap in the church today—new believers being reached but not rooted. There's no shortage of altar calls, but where are the people walking alongside others as they grow in their faith? This conversation isn't about calling out churches or criticizing Christians. It's a heart cry for the body of Christ to return to the depth and intentionality of true discipleship. Because revival isn't just crowds—it's transformation.

God wants to speak to you—and He will. 💡 What You'll Hear: Real-life stories of how Paige and Danielle have heard God in unexpected ways The difference between God's voice and our own inner thoughts Encouragement if you feel like God is silent Why you don't need to be "super spiritual" to hear from Him The freedom to stop striving for a method and trust in relationship 🎧 Listen If: You've ever wondered Was that God… or just me?
