Stoop Theology S1 Episode 5: Why should Christians prioritize slowing down in a busy world?
How do you actually find the rhythm to start slowing down in a world that never stops? Is the practice of rest a command you have to follow, or a gift you get to receive? In this episode of Stoop Theology, we explore how slowing down can help you overcome "inattentional blindness," why your value isn’t tied to your production, and talk practically about how to start your own Sabbath practice. If you’re feeling under the spell of the hustle and want to hear God’s voice again, this conversation is for you.

Stoop Theology S1 Episode 2: Do Christians Follow the Bible—or Just the Parts They Like?
Christians are often accused of picking and choosing which Bible commands to follow. In this episode of Stoop Theology, we ask whether that’s hypocrisy—or whether Jesus actually changes how the Bible is meant to be read. From Old Testament laws to New Testament faith, we explore why Christianity isn’t selective—it’s Christ-centered.
