Transformed, Not Conformed: Romans 12 With Blake Vanderveen

With very special guest, Blake Vanderveen (Zara’s husband), this episode focuses on discernment through the lens of Romans 12, and practically what this looks like for us today. What does it look like to truly renew your mind? How is wisdom tied to discernment? How can I differentiate discernment from personal opinion? And so much more…

1 John 4: 2-3

“By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.”

God's design for Men, Women & Marriage

What happens when men and women stop competing and start complementing each other the way God designed? In this episode, Amy Rose sits down with Jaece Unrau — a good friend, a husband to Aimee Unrau (one of Amy Rose's best friends) , to talk about the powerful harmony between biblical masculinity and femininity.

Jaece doesn’t hold back as he lovingly challenges men to reject passivity, rise in strength, and reflect Christ through servant-hearted leadership. Together, they unpack why we’re not created to compete, but to complement each other — and how embracing our God-given roles brings unity, purpose, and power to both men and women.

Whether you’re single, married, or still figuring it all out, this episode will call you higher.

Book Recommendation from Jaece: "What He Must Be: ...If He Wants to Marry My Daughter" By Voddie T. Baucham Jr.

Loneliness & Contentment: Defeating the “Lack Mindset”

In this episode, Zara and Amy discuss the outbreak of loneliness in young people, and how its origins are often tied to contentment - The “lack mindset” over a gratitude focused perspective.

Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV)

“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
