Stoop Theology S1 Episode 3: How do I know if I've found the one?
How do you actually know if you’ve found “the one”? Is it a feeling, a sign from God, or just good timing? In this episode of Stoop Theology, we explore whether soulmates exist, what should your expectations be, and talk honestly about discernment, commitment, and wisdom. If you’re dating and tired of overthinking it all, this conversation is for you.
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 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.
