Stoop Theology S1 Episode 9: We All Come With Relational Baggage
You didn't mean to bring it, but it's there. It will show up in how you argue, what you assume, and what quietly sets you off. In this episode, we talk about the emotional baggage we carry into relationships, because until you see it, you can't stop unpacking it on your significant other.
Stoop Theology is a series rooted in honest, thoughtful conversations about real-life questions. From faith and doubt to culture, justice, relationships, and everyday struggles, we explore what it looks like to wrestle with life and belief—like neighbors talking it out on a stoop. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.

Stoop Theology S1 Episode 8: Can you love Jesus and still struggle with depression?
Breaking the stigma — that loving God doesn’t mean you’re always okay.
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connects you to trained crisis counselors 24/7. They can help anyone thinking about suicide, struggling with substance use, experiencing a mental health crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress, or if you are worried about someone you care about who may need crisis support.
To speak with a Pastor or Deacon at Renaissance Church about counseling or other resources, email grace@renaissancenyc.com
For more information, see the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention or the New York State Office of Mental Health

Stoop Theology S1 Episode 7: What to Do When a Pastor You Trusted Was Living a Double Life?
Affairs. Hidden sin. Public exposure. When a spiritual leader's private life contradicts everything they preached, it raises real questions about God, faith, and trust. In this episode, we work through the disorientation — and find out where to anchor your faith when people prove they can't hold it.
