Have you ever felt like you had to perform to be a “good Christian”? Like certain habits or rules defined your closeness to God? You’re not alone. In this episode, we unpack the things we used to do out of fear or obligation and trade them for a deeper, freer relationship with God rooted in truth and grace. Through honest reflections, personal stories, and practical advice, we talk about what it really means to know God, not just know about Him. Because pursuing Him takes maturity, but it also takes being real and the beautiful part is, He was already pursuing you first.Whether you’re rebuilding your faith or don’t know where to start, this episode will help you take a step closer.Watch now and let’s grow together.Join the conversation—watch or listen now!✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast for behind-the-scenes moments and daily encouragement: TikTok: @tob.podIG: @tob.podcastYouTube: @tob.podcastFind us on other podcast platforms here: https://linktr.ee/tobpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=cbb4d226-53bd-4743-a6be-1e790486952c

In this episode, we open up with a game called “Growing up, I knew I was in trouble when” and how those memories still sit with us today.We explore the long-term effects of physical discipline, and how it often teaches children to suppress emotions or normalize violence instead of learning how to emotionally regulate and dive into the difficult, but necessary, conversation around choosing patience and communication over punishment.Lastly, we talk about the controversial use of Bible verses to justify physical punishment, and what happens when scripture is weaponized in parenting.If you’ve ever questioned the way discipline was handed down to you or how you plan to break the cycle this episode is for you.Join the conversation—watch or listen now!✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast for behind-the-scenes moments, and daily encouragement: TikTok: @tob.podIG: @tob.podcastYouTube: @tob.podcastFind us on other podcast platforms here: https://linktr.ee/tobpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

Are Christian influencers getting it wrong? In this episode, we’re diving into the difference between being a Christian influencer and being a Christian who happens to create content. We’re calling out the double standards the world puts on believers, the way Christians tear each other down more than build each other up, how the Church has become known more for what it’s against than what it stands for, and unpack the lie that kindness means you’re not holding people accountableWe also discuss the dangers of platforming your faith and share some of our experiences on the journey so far.

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most relatable human experiences: the gap between how others see us and how we truly feel inside. Why do so many of us hide parts of ourselves to avoid conflict, shame, or judgment? And what does it cost us?We explore what it means to protect our true nature, especially when we’re naturally more introverted in a world that often expects us to be loud, social, and “on.” We talk about the pressure to perform, the emotional labor of pretending, and the quiet strength of just being who you are.We also touch on the tension that can rise as parents and children grow when the balance of authority begins to shift. How do we navigate those evolving relationships with care and honesty?And finally, a moment of reflection: what would we say to our 8-year-old selves? And what would they think of the person we’ve become?Tune in for an honest, thoughtful conversation that just might help you feel more seen—and more permission to be exactly who you are.TikTok: @tob.podIG: @tob.podcastYouTube: @tob.podcastFind us on other podcast platforms here: https://linktr.ee/tobpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

Is the idea of “soft life” compatible with a life of faith? In this episode, we explore how the modern pursuit of ease and luxury stacks up against biblical examples like Jesus, John the Baptist, and Queen Esther. We talk purpose, responsibility, rest, and the tension between inner healing and outward appearances.Can spiritual warfare, hard work, and true peace coexist? We think so—and we’re praying for the joy of the Lord to return to the Church and strengthen the collective.Join the conversation—watch or listen now!✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast for behind-the-scenes moments, and daily encouragement: TikTok: @tob.podIG: @tob.podcastYouTube: @tob.podcastFind us on other podcast platforms here: https://linktr.ee/tobpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=cbb4d226-53bd-4743-a6be-1e790486952c

In today’s episode, we kick things off with a thought-provoking game brought to us by @andletthechurchsay that leads to some deep and dynamic conversations. From lighthearted debates—like whether women should propose to men or how much PDA is too much during the dating phase—to heavier topics around faith, salvation, and the state of the Church.We reflect on the overwhelming love of our Heavenly Father and ask the hard question: Do we truly trust God, or are we just hoping He’ll co-sign our chaos? And also take a critical look at the blindspots in today’s church—are we really in alignment with God’s will, or just assuming we are?This episode is honest, unfiltered, and rooted in truth.

In this powerful episode, we’re joined by a special guest — our friend Tolu, who’s about to begin her PhD in psychology. Together, we unpack a listener’s heartfelt dilemma: how do you reconcile your faith with the need for therapy?Tolu brings insight, compassion, and clarity to the conversation, reminding us that faith and therapy are not enemies — they can actually work hand-in-hand. We dive into why mental illness can be so hard to explain, especially in Christian spaces where struggles aren’t always visible — and aren’t always treated with the care they deserve.From the stigma around seeking help, to the times when Scripture has been misused to silence mental health concerns, to the cultural influences that discourage vulnerability — we go there. And we ask the big questions: Why does the Church often avoid these conversations? And how can we, as believers, show up better for those quietly suffering?Whether you’ve been wrestling with your own mental health, or want to learn how to support others with more empathy and grace, this episode is for you.Helpful mental health resources can be found below:Find Psychologists and Therapists in Ontario:https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/therapists/on/toronto?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10264035775&gbraid=0AAAAAD_gfuyQXjVF30j_ttvVMxGWUf9usAffordable Therapy Options:https://affordabletherapynetwork.com/online-therapists/✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast for behind-the-scenes moments, and daily encouragement: TikTok: @tob.podIG: @tob.podcastYouTube: @tob.podcastTolu’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/toluuu_f?igsh=dmkweWV2ejljbnYwFind us on other podcast platforms here: https://linktr.ee/tobpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=cbb4d226-53bd-4743-a6be-1e790486952c

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the honest, sometimes uncomfortable space where faith, family, and personal growth collide. We’re exploring the kind of questions that don’t come with neat answers — like what to do when you’re pursuing love through a Christian lens, but it keeps ending in disappointment. Is it faithfulness, or is it fear disguised as standards?We also unpack the emotional weight of trying to honour your parents when their expectations don’t align with what you believe God is asking of you — especially in relationships and marriage. How do you walk in obedience without losing yourself in the process?And finally, we sit with the woman trying to heal from jealousy after betrayal. How do you reclaim joy, rebuild confidence, and speak up when your peace has been shaken?These are the real, raw moments where faith is tested, where grace isn’t just a nice idea but a necessity — for others and for ourselves. Grab the popcorn (and maybe your journal), because today we’re leaning all the way into the struggles behind good intentions and the beauty that can come from facing them with honesty and hope.✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast for behind-the-scenes moments, and daily encouragement: TikTok: @tob.podIG: @tob.podcastYouTube: @tob.podcast🎧 Listen only on Apple Podcasts: ​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠ TOB Podcast🎥 Watch on YouTube: ​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠ https://youtube.com/@tob.podcast?si=oevhDvEQ0iEpTwjQ

In this episode, we ask the tough question: Is it harder to share the gospel with a stranger or correct a fellow believer’s doctrine? (Spoiler: both are awkward.)We also talk about how getting closer to God reveals the mess in us, and why integrity is the launchpad for boldness. If your house isn’t in order, should you really be trying to clean someone else’s?From personal stories of evangelism to a lively convo on the difference between apologetics and evangelism, we dig into the nuance of faith and logic—turns out, they’re not enemies. We touch on why debate isn’t about winning, echo chambers are a trap, and maybe—just maybe—if God wiped out all the evil in the world… He might have to start with us.This one’s deep, real, and filled with laughs. Come for the theology, stay for the awkward honesty.✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

Ever wondered if modesty is about your hemline or your heart? This week, we dive headfirst into a modesty minefield with laughs, Scripture, and a little holy side-eye. We kick off by asking the question that nobody seems to be asking: “What does male modesty even look like?” (Hint: It’s more than just wearing a shirt at the beach, fellas.) From the viral “get ready with me” videos that start in underwear for no reason, the spiritual and societal dangers of porn, the pursuit of money over morals, and the way small compromises lead us far from God before we even realize we’ve moved.We’re calling on men to rise above the crowd, be bold in their faith, and stop copying a culture that’s spiritually bankrupt. Modesty isn’t about dressing like a nun—but it is about representing Christ well, using discernment, and addressing both men and women with equal accountability. Let’s have real conversations about lust, leadership, and living holy in a world that rewards the opposite.Come for the hot takes, stay for the Holy Spirit’s conviction, and belly laughs. You’ve never heard modesty talked about like this.✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

Is worship still about glorifying God, or has it become about building a platform? In this episode, we’re digging into the complex intersection of gospel, culture, and the current state of the worship music industry. From branded aesthetics to chart-topping singles, we explore how the heart of worship can get lost in the noise of algorithms, marketing, and performance. Can artistry and anointing coexist? Is it possible to pursue excellence without compromising the message? Let’s talk about what happens when worship becomes a brand, and how we can stay anchored in truth.✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

Is it possible for God to love us deeply and still be disappointed in our actions? In this episode, we talk about the uncomfortable — but beautiful — reality of godly correction. From conviction to discipline, we explore how God’s displeasure doesn’t cancel His love, but actually proves it. If you’ve ever felt distant from God because of your mistakes, or unsure if His correction means rejection, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about the kind of love that corrects, restores, and draws us closer.✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

This week on the TOB Podcast we blend real-life parenting, honest theology, cultural commentary, and spontaneous musical outbursts into one big chaotic conversation.We dive into raising kids in a world full of mixed messages. We talk about the little things like the sheer terror of someone knocking on your door unannounced—seriously, stop doing that and the big things like how to help your children discern between authority and manipulation.We believe false teachings aren’t defeated by long-winded lectures—they’re dismantled with clear, Spirit-led truth and get passionate about creating spaces where children are not just told how to behave, but shown how to love. We talk about modeling the kind of adults we hope our kids will become, choosing character over control, and leading our families in faith with both intention and humility.Whether you’re a parent, a believer trying to make sense of this world, or someone who enjoys biblical truth served with a side of comedy, pull up a chair, laugh with us, maybe cry a little, and let’s walk this messy, meaningful episode out together.✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the chaos of Christian dating with a fresh round of “Would You Rather” — relationship edition. We’re asking the real questions: Would you rather be pursued for your character or your looks? Who in your circle would actually set you up with someone decent? And why does church matchmaking so often feel like it’s designed to benefit men more than women?We also get real about the double standards in purity culture, why women are expected to carry the weight of righteousness, and how some men disqualify amazing women just because they want to wait until marriage. Plus, we’re side-eyeing some of the marital advice we’ve gotten from older generations.Oh—and we’re not just here to rant. We talk about listening without defensiveness, the underrated gift of solid friendships in marriage, and why your partner should never be your only source of happiness.It’s honest, it’s hilarious, it’s a little spicy—but it’s all love.✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

In this episode, we’re talking all things help—giving it, asking for it (or not), and feeling some type of way when it’s not returned. We unpack why it’s so hard to just say “I need help,” and get real about the resentment that can grow when you pour out for others and come up empty-handed.From being honest about our pride, learning how to build a trustworthy community, to checking our own motives and expectations—this episode blends funny, faith-filled truth bombs with practical advice for anyone feeling burnt out, overlooked, or stuck behind the “I-got-it” mask.Jesus was rejected too, but what came next changed the world. So let’s talk about what’s possible when we drop the cape, pick up some self-awareness, and finally ask for what we need.Stay tuned for more real talk and reflections as we keep trying our best!✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on imposter syndrome—yes, even in church (because apparently, holy water doesn’t wash away self-doubt). We’re talking about those compliments that make us want to crawl into a pew and disappear, the Olympic-level gymnastics it takes to be kind to ourselves, and why loving yourself isn’t the same as being full of yourself—no matter what Aunty says.We’re also getting into why Spirit-led affirmations hit different, which disciple might’ve been lowkey battling imposter syndrome, and why the Holy Spirit is basically the ultimate life hack (seriously—better than Google, coffee, and your therapist combined).If you’ve ever felt too broken, too weird, or just too you to belong in church, this one’s for you. And don’t dip out early—we close with a powerful altar call for anyone ready to make Jesus the King of their chaos.✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

In this week’s episode, we dive into the sensitive yet important conversation around money and manipulation in the church. We explore how financial practices can sometimes drift from biblical stewardship into areas of pressure, guilt, or exploitation — and how to discern the difference. Join us as we unpack what Scripture really says about giving, generosity, and leadership accountability, and reflect on how we can build churches rooted in transparency, trust, and true faith.Stay tuned for more real talk and reflections as we keep trying our best!✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

In this episode, we kick things off with some fun Bible trivia—because who says learning about God can’t come with a little laughter? But then, we get into the real stuff. We’re talking self-righteousness: how it sneaks up on us, blocks us from grace, and keeps us from actually growing in our walk with God. We reflect on how kids in Sunday school are often more open to confronting sin than we grown women are—and what that says about humility, honesty, and healing.We open up about how judgment can show up in friendships, especially between women, and how dangerous it is when we start playing Holy Spirit in people’s lives instead of seeking His discernment. We talk about the importance of not making ourselves the final authority (even kings had prophets!), and the trap of using the Bible as a weapon instead of a guide.From unlearning childhood correction styles to embracing God’s loving discipline as a Father, this episode is about shedding the illusion of perfection, embracing accountability, and realizing it’s never too late to change course. God’s grace is real—but it’s not a free pass to stay stuck.So grab your coffee, your Bible, and maybe a notebook—you’re gonna want to sit with this one. ✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

In this week’s episode, we welcome our very first guest to the mic—and waste no time diving into the deep end. Would you rather be the only speaker on a Sunday morning, or be stuck in a never-ending convo with someone convinced they’ve cracked the code on the Second Coming? Yeah… we went there.From pews to pulpits, we ask the big questions: Have men taken a step back in church spaces? Can you be Holy Spirit-filled but still ghost on serving? Is the emotional labor of ministry unfairly falling on women simply because they’re “better at caring”? We unpack personal conviction, passive leadership, and why “being available” doesn’t always equal participation.We’re talking cultural baggage, generational accountability, and how to raise up a new wave of spiritually strong, emotionally intelligent men of God. Because God’s culture—not the world’s—should set the tone. And at the end of the day, everything we do must be rooted in love… even when the topic hits close to home.Get ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe raise your hand a little higher next Sunday.✨ Keep up with us beyond the podcast!

In this episode, we dive deep into some real questions like, will Jesus eat bacon when He returns? Spoiler: Jury’s still out on that one. We also play the red flag/green flag game, because, who doesn’t love calling out the obvious?We recount our experiences of being harassed by self-proclaimed “good guys”, touch on some peculiar archetypes of Christian men, and dive into the deep waters of what male leadership looks like in the church today. Should women bear the weight of nurturing purity when men are equally responsible?Along the way, we explore the crushing process of personal growth, unpack how keeping in line with God’s vision for gender roles isn’t about stifling empowerment, And finally, we ask: Do men still have a seat at the table?

Welcome back to Trying Our Best! In this episode, we’re tackling the people-pleasing spirit and asking the big questions—like, why do we keep making plans without God, failing forward, fostering safe spaces, and why being alone with ourselves is sometimes scarier than being alone on a Friday night. Is it possible to stop looking back, quit stressing about the future, and actually exist in the now? Does God hold us to a higher standard than our dating apps do? And more importantly, are we even ready for that?From failed plans to relationship rants, this episode is all about real conversations, honest reflections, and a few spiritual faceplants along the way.Episode Time Stamps: 1:38- Summer’s weekly update 6:00- Question of the week19:00- Christian Pick-up lines 25:27- Queen’s weekly update 27:15- Anne-Marie’s weekly update28:47- Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.36:30- 1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.36:30- 1 Corinthians 14:29-32 Only two or three prophets should speak, and the others should judge what they say. If a message from God comes to another person who is sitting, the first speaker should stop. You can all prophesy one after the other48:06- Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God?50:02- Luke 17:20-21 Some of the Pharisees asked Jesus, When will the kingdom of God come?” Jesus answered, “God's kingdom is coming, but not in a way that you will be able to see with your eyes. People will not say, 'Look, here it is! ' or, 'There it is! ' because God's kingdom is within you50:14- Matthew 6:25-34 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?50:45- Leviticus 5:2 If anyone becomes aware that they are guilty—if they unwittingly touch anything ceremonially unclean (whether the carcass of an unclean animal, wild or domestic, or of any unclean creature that moves along the ground) and they are unaware that they have become unclean, but then they come to realize their guilt51:41- Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me58:53- Luke 17:7-10 Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’?  Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do?  So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.1:03:04- Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.1:07:40- Proverbs 16:7 When a man 's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him📲Stay connected!

Welcome back to Trying Our Best! In this episode, we’re tackling the art of making plans—both with God and without Him (oops). We’re diving into family dynamics, different prayer styles, and the struggle of trusting God’s timing versus doing things our way. Can you really “plan” your life, or is God just sitting back and chuckling at our calendars? Along the way, we’ll chat about the ways we talk to God, talk over Him, and sometimes just forget to include Him in the conversation #relatable From unfiltered laughs to real talk about faith, this episode is full of honest conversations, unexpected revelations, and a whole lot of “Lord, help us” moments. So grab your coffee, your journal, or just your best prayer voice, and let’s figure this thing out—together. 📲Stay connected!

Welcome to the first-ever episode of the Trying Our Best podcast ! We kicked things off with a messy debate: Would you rather marry a Christian cheater or a faithful non-believer? The question is as uncomfortable, but we’re not afraid to dive in. The heart of this episode is Empathy in the Body of Christ—how we can hold space for human emotions like doubt, fear, and insecurity while living out God’s love and grace. Together, we unpack what it means to support others in our faith community.  Following along? Here are the Scripture references from this episode:  [Insert Scripture References Here] From unexpected moments to heartfelt reflections, this episode sets the stage for everything TOB; honest conversations, real questions, and exploring faith in all its complexity. ✨ Stay connected!
