Why We Need Stubborn Hope Tho
November 05, 2020 11:00 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MBToday is a stressful day for us here in the US, and while we didn't know the outcome at the time of this recording, we wanted to talk about hot dog toppings, and why hope is stubborn AF tho. Half of the country will be happy and the other half will be crushed tomorrow, and you know what? Our work continues. We're not going to pump you up with "God is still on the throne" messages. Duh, obviously we know that - that's how we all got this far, but we will talk about how hope guides us in the da...
Faith and Politics: Why There is Peace Beyond the Vote
October 29, 2020 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24 MBMadeline L'Engle said, "The world has been abnormal for so long that we've forgotten what it's like to live in a peaceful and reasonable climate. If there is to be any peace or reason, we have to create it in our own hearts and homes." (From her novel A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and thank you to Sarah Bessey for quoting this!) Goodness, isn't this true for us today? These days are anything but normal and we have control over so little. We vote (PLEASE GO VOTE), we do our part, and at the end of...
Faith and Politics: Why Do You Think Like That Tho
October 22, 2020 10:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBWe know you've looked at someone with your head cocked sideways, and thought, WHY DO YOU THINK LIKE THAT?! Today's episode looks at the reasons people think the way they think, and vote the way they vote. Why do we make caricatures of certain people groups? Why some Christians want to see America become a Christian nation? How does trauma inform the way we see others and our role in society? We were inspired by Rich Villlodas's recent post (https://www.instagram.com/p/CGfpsf7n1L8/) and hi...
Faith and Politics: Why Pro-Birth is Not Enough Tho
October 15, 2020 10:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MBOne of the most divisive issues in America's Christian communities is the issue of abortion. We felt it was extremely important to cover this difficult topic because this matters to women, to families, and to us. As Sister Joan Chittister said, "I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child house...
Faith and Politics: Help! Politics is Destroying My Family
October 08, 2020 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBHELP! Politics is destroying my family! People are choosing sides, demonizing the party they don't agree with, and telling family members that they are supporting the anti-Christ if they vote one way or the other. Worse, this seems to be happening so much in the evangelical space. So, what do we do? How do we relate to each other? Today's episode helps you personally navigate difficult conversations, setting boundaries, creating safe spaces, and learning how to deal with family members who ...
Faith and Politics: Humanizing Others
October 01, 2020 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBWell, that was a dumpster fire of a debate, but right on time for our new series: Faith and Politics. Over the next couple of weeks we'll be covering difficult topics, ways of relating to people, and helpful resources for you. What we will not do is tell you how to think, and how to vote, but we do want you to engage your heart and mind and push you toward love and generosity. Today's episode tackles humanizing others. What do we do to those on the other side of the political aisle? How d...
Remembering RBG
September 24, 2020 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBToday we remember the life and legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is the reason we can sign checks at the bank without our husbands, why it is illegal to discriminate against pregnant women, why male caretakers can now receive the same benefits as women. Many rights we take for granted came from Ruth’s blood, sweat and tears, with over 300 court cases prior to being a justice for almost 30 years. Even in areas we might differ politically, we can share gratitude and show ...
Women Who Take No Crap
September 17, 2020 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBKindness is king. This is how we live our lives, but sometimes women can be fooled into thinking thank being kind means being "nice." We miss out on standing up for ourselves, for others, and doing the thing we are called to do, because we worry too much about social etiquette, approvals and permissions. Today's episode is all about women who take precisely no crap from anyone, while living a life they love. From fictional characters, to women of influence, to women in our every day life, w...
Finding Creativity in the Chaos Tho
September 10, 2020 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBAs the saying goes, there is opportunity in chaos, and we want to help you find ways to get creative this year. If you're anything like us, there are far more barriers to creativity than ever. Decision fatigue (REAL), overwhelm, feeling like everything needs to be perfect around us before we can create, lack of systems, tools and people that lead to structure and stimulate a creative flow. This episode will bless you no matter your job, side hustle, or daily schedule. ALSO THIS IS EPISODE...
Why Are There Only 4 Months Left in 2020 Tho
September 03, 2020 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MBWell, we made it this far, fam! And now, there are four months left in 2020. Some of you are drinking pumpkin spice lattes (unlike Ashley, the fall Scrooge, for sure), and some of you are gearing up for home school against your will, and continuing to work remotely, and navigate the world as we know it now. With an election season and holidays on the horizon, we wanted to give you some helpful tips for how to set the tone for the remainder of the year, keeping you mentally and emotionally e...
What We Want our Sons to Know Tho
August 27, 2020 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBMr. Rogers once said, "Feelings are mentionable and manageable." Sigh. Fred, we love you - how he has pastored so many of us (and now our children) through media is remarkable. Children, like adults, have some big feelings, and they don't always know how to manage them, and they cannot navigate life without our help. On today's episode, we share with you our top priorities in raising our young sons, and why these are important for us. Given the scandals and abuses of power we are all bearing ...
What My Mean Mentors Taught Me
August 20, 2020 10:00 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MBMentorship is a gift. To receive encouragement, help, and support on our career path, parenting journey, or in the relationships we hold dear is important and necessary. But sometimes, we get a mean mentor. A coach, teacher, boss, or spiritual leader who gives us a few gold nuggets, but mostly some issues we didn't want to deal with. How do we recover? What can we take away from the mean mentors in our lives? Best of all, who did they teach us NOT to be? Today's episode will bless you and ...
Don't Be a Dumb Dumb on the Internet
August 13, 2020 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBGuys, Jerry Falwell. We can't explain to you why a photo of him with his pants undone, standing next to a young female with her pants undone, was the straw that broke the camel's back, but here we are, we know that being a dumb dumb on the internet has consequences. Posting fake websites, memes and calling them facts: being a dumb dumb on the internet. Calling people names in the comments: being a dumb dumb on the internet. Getting sucked into cults and harmful ideology because of what you're...
Why the World Needs This From You Right Now
August 06, 2020 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MBThe great poet Mary Oliver said, "To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work." SAY THAT MARY. We are living in a world where the demand for our attention is high, and to lift our eyes to the world around us is challenging. We are people of hope, and part of holding on to hope is looking hard for the helpers (thanks for that pro-tip Mr. Rogers). Who is operating in the power of the ordinary, and how can we see that, and be that, in this world? Today's show tackles bystander interv...
Things You Like That Others May Not
July 30, 2020 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBWe want you to know how much Tiffany hates raisins, and let you know that she has never eaten (or heard of) a raisinette. Dear listener, how is this possible? She is passionate about Sour Patch Kids (Ashley's least favorite candy), both of our hosts love a good binge watch of Supermarket Sweep. The heart wants what it wants, apparently. We're diving in this episode on the strange things we like, dislike, love, and love to hate. From Twitter to candy to big things (like CHANGE - dear Lord wi...
Why It's Hard When Friendships Change Tho
July 23, 2020 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBFriendship is a gift but for real tho, 2020 has taken a toll on our relationships. In some ways, we've grown closer, and in others, we've discovered that we're not as close as we thought we were. People are moving to different cities and states for a more sustainable life, because of job changes and losses, and let's be honest, the political atmosphere has created tension at best, and unresolvable conflict at worst. We need to know how to honestly evaluate our friendships, communicate openl...
If It's Not Good For Everyone It's Not Good For Me Tho
July 16, 2020 10:00 - 28 minutes - 25.7 MBThis episode title might make your defenses go up. So, on the front end, are we saying that if it’s good for everyone, then it’s good for me? Well, if you mean that everything should be equal for every person, then no, because that would not be good for every person. But, we absolutely think that things could be more equitable for individuals, if we also focus on the collective community. We champion the right of every man, woman and child to exercise agency, to make decisions to move forwa...
What is Saving Our Lives Right Now
July 09, 2020 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBYou're here for one of our favorite regular Why Tho episodes, where we answer Barbara Brown Taylor's important question, "What is saving your life right now?" Well, of course COFFEE, but we'll also give you the low down on what's keeping us laughing, resting and full of joy. From drinks to podcasts and more, we got the goods just for you. And five months into quarantine, who doesn't need to know that? Do you love the Why Tho Show? We'd love for you to take a minute to rate us five stars, an...
Why Selfishness Will Kill Connection Tho
July 02, 2020 10:00 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MBWe're imagining a way forward in relationship right now. With restrictions on what we can do together, where we can go, and how we can gather, our friendships, spiritual experiences, dating life, marriage, work life, well basically everything looks completely different. We personally are hurting from those losses and right now it would be so easy for us to hold tight to our way of life, our stuff, the way things used to be, but what if we asked God to help us become more generous, more mindfu...
Why We Need Restoration in Community Tho
June 25, 2020 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MBSo, you'll learn a few things on this podcast. For example, the age gap between Ashley (on the very end of the old millenials) and Tiffany (major millenial vibes) becomes very apparent. Ashley just got on Venmo and might hide money under the mattress, and Tiffany would like an app to pay her children for chores. Also, in this week's news, the church where Tiffany grew up in allowed a rally in their parking lot, with elected officials (like the sheriff) over a long standing racist sign that ...
Why the Social Shame Tho
June 18, 2020 10:00 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MBCancel this, cancel that, liberal social justice warrior, not doing enough, doing too much… WHO CAN KEEP UP? This rhetoric, the name calling, judgmental, “shoulding all over people” vibes create an insane amount of shame in our lives. How can a scroll through the internet do this? We’ve all experienced it and we want to help you peel back the layers, find that thread of shame in your life, discover why it’s affecting you, learn if you need to, and otherwise, LET IT GO. Shame is removed ...

Why It is Time to Listen Tho
June 04, 2020 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBThe story of the rich young ruler sits with us this week as we consider the current state of our nation. What does it mean to be a person who listens to Jesus, to his instruction on what we need to give up in order to be made whole? What does it mean to listen to our brothers and sisters seeking to end injustice? And most importantly, WHAT DO WE DO NEXT? Your sphere of influence is not too small to make a difference. Every small step toward ending injustice is an important one, so take it, ...
Why Whites Will Not Make America Great Again
May 28, 2020 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MBWe're not beating around the bush on this episode of Why Tho, we're planning to hit white supremacy hard. Because here's the thing, we think the KKK, the Alt Right, the folks marching in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us!" are the real racists, and in comparing ourselves against them, so many white people absolve themselves of the sin of racism. But as Ashley says on today's episode "Supremacy is the tea we are steeped in from birth." We must do better, and stop with the soci...
Why 2020 is a Disappointment Tho
May 21, 2020 10:00 - 23 minutes - 21.6 MBDisappointment is a honest to goodness reality in 2020. From watching kids graduate on Zoom, to financial loss, to major job changes, to relationship challenges, to the sting of isolation, we’re all managing our expectations and disappointment. RIP to our best laid plans and hello to a life we didn’t choose. On today’s episode, we’re laughing together about things gone awry (specifically an alleged bird cartel inside Tiffany’s house), grieving the losses, and looking ahead with hope. Thank...
Why Justice is Not a Trend Tho
May 14, 2020 10:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBYou know what sucks Why Tho Fam? Racism. It sucks because it is a lie from the pit of hell that says one race is superior over another, that the color of a person's skin determines their lot in life. But wait! We've had a black president! Racism doesn't exist! Slavery was 400 years ago! None of this is biblical! Stop being political! We've heard all this and more, but you know what we've learned (and you too, if you're watching the news, or have any friends who don't look like you), the tru...
Why Your Hard Stuff Matters Tho
May 07, 2020 10:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBOn today’s episode, we’re taking a look at a twitter thread from one of our favorite psychologists, Hillary McBride. She talked about the power of comparative suffering, and how we can learn more about our own pain, and our ability (or inability) to cultivate empathy, by ranking our pain. She normalizes this as part of being human. What a load off during Quarantine! Gratitude grows when we realize what we do have, in comparison to others. And compassion increases when we find ways to act, to ...
Why Do You Keep Carrying That Tho
April 30, 2020 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBMore time at the crib means more opportunities to evaluate why we do what we do, and why we have what we have. Listen, do you ever just look around at your house, or a closet, or the TRUNK OF YOUR CAR, and think to yourself WHY THO? Who did this to me? What are all these things? Why do we have them? And you know what we've realized? The same is true for our souls - our minds, hearts and bodies. Why do we keep carrying things that are, at worst, harming us, and at best, just aren't helping us?...
Why the Women are the First to Hear Tho
April 23, 2020 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBStories are LIFE and women are incredible story tellers. It’s no secret that when God shows up in the Bible, speaks a word of life to a daughter, she finds the courage to go and tell the truth of the story, and she empowers and releases others to do the same. Join us as we examine Mary Magdalene at the tomb, and the Woman at the Well. Be encouraged to wait, to be found faithful, to hear God say your name, to speak hope in the midst of grief, and to see light in the middle of darkness. Get r...
Why God is Still Good in the Dark Tho
April 09, 2020 10:00 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBWhen we're in the thick of it, we can start asking incredibly important questions: Is God good? Is he good to ME? It's easy to feel alone and isolated during the difficult times, wonder if there is hope for better days ahead. We want you to know dear listener, that even though the days are dark, God is still good. We have found him as a faithful friend and father, a comfort and present help in time of need. While none of what we're collectively facing is easy AT ALL, we trust that we will get...
Why Heaven is All Around Us Tho
April 02, 2020 10:00 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBA global pandemic doesn't really feel like heaven, but we're encouraging you to really look and see the goodness of God. Jesus often said, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand..." In the midst of economic difficulty, oppressive rulers, racism, sexism and more, he pressed people to see that heaven is right here, right now, all around us. No matter how dark, how fearful, how lonely, we are not alone, and there is beauty, and dare we say, joy to be found.... but not in Tiger King. So y'all stop w...
What Not to Do On Lockdown
March 26, 2020 10:00 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MBWell, here we are still locked up in the cut and we're coming at you with what not to do this week, cause Covid-19 is tempting us to act all types of ways (many not recommended by the FBI). Here's what we hope for you dear listeners, that you make it to the other side of this with your life still intact. We know there's no way to go through a global pandemic unscathed but we want to save you from three things: 1) A life of crime 2) An unnecessary six-pack 3) Hating yourself and every mem...
How to Survive a Pandemic Tho
March 19, 2020 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBHoly smokes guys, this happened fast (just like Europe and Asia warned us it would), but here we are, quarantined as a mug, and maybe terrified for the future of our businesses, families, and friends. Help is on the way - we're not experts (PLEASE LISTEN TO THE EXPERTS AND NOT THE POLITICIANS BUT ACTUAL MEDICAL PERSONNEL AND SCIENTISTS), but we do have some laughs, verses, and ideas for how to survive the Coronavirus in 2020. Please remember to reach out to people you trust, especially if y...

Why You Need to Pass On This Tho
March 05, 2020 11:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBFrom parasites to dehydration to late night Twitter to Twilight book clubs to clutter, we're sharing all the things you might want to pass on. Why? Because we care about your mental health! Sometimes we feel like we have to do all the things, be all the things, finish all the things, even when it would serve us better if we would stop a few things. Everything and everyone is vying for our attention - ads on social media, ads in the supermarket, people we want to impress (but don't even like, ...

We hope you'll see how you can affect change in your sphere of influence, and remember, that...
Things We Love Right Now
February 20, 2020 11:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBWe still don't understand why Glossier is not a key sponsor for this podcast. Probably because we keep giving away ads FOR FREE. But seriously, on the list of things we're loving right now: balmdotcom and their lash slick mascara is at the top of our list. From podcasts to road trips to all the things in your house you can still return to Nordstrom and receive store credit. We hope this episode helps you discover new things and in general, will be a good time had by all. Thanks for listenin...
Why Galentines are Better Than Valentine's Day Tho
February 13, 2020 11:00 - 19 minutes - 18.2 MBTarget does not get to decide when my partner spoils me with chocolate and roses. YOU BETTER BELIEVE we will shake our heads if any man spent over $100, or in Tiffany's case, over $10. Yes, of course we like chocolate and roses, but for petes sake, romance isn't about the fluff. It's about the heart. It's about reciprocity and communication. This episode covers romance for those who find themselves in today's dating scene and for those who are married. A little something for errr'body! Enjoy....
Why Everyone Has Something to Teach Us Tho
February 06, 2020 11:00 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MBThere is no skirting around the fact that those who are teachable and those who see themselves as life-long learners know the key to adulting. The honest truth is that everyone has something to teach us, alright. We can learn from the waiter at PF Changs, a book written 100 years ago, or from two women on a podcast who had no idea they needed to change their oil every 3,000 miles. In this episode, we talk about why choosing to learn what you don't know is necessary to ADULT. It just is. T...

Why Relating to the Generations is Adulting Tho
January 23, 2020 11:00 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBRelating to others (all the others) is a mad important Adulting skill. We are talking top priority, in 2020, and we want to help you do it, STAT. Instead of splintering into factions, we believe the generations are better together. Whatever your age, it's important to respect those who have gone before you and those who are coming behind you, and to offer mutual respect to build a bridge of connectedness. We can forgo what we think we deserve (entitlement) from others and let humility drive...
Why God Does Not Have Enemies Tho
January 16, 2020 11:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBPolarization, villainization, and manipulation. Three big things we are helping you avoid in 2020. With the internet pastoring us due to the hours of our life we give to it, people are becoming increasingly settled in their camps and echo chambers. That leads us to polarizing narratives about others that are at minimum, not helpful, and often harmful. It becomes easy to make villains out of people we don't agree with, or even those who have hurt us, but in the words of Father Greg Boyle, "God...
Why EQ in the Digital Age is Adulting Tho
January 09, 2020 11:00 - 26 minutes - 24 MBTechnology is here to stay and it's time for us to thoughtfully consider what we allow to shape our mind, recognize how it affects our interactions with others and establish what kind of boundaries we want to place on our usage to help us relate to one another in meaningful ways. Are our devices taking over our lives? Is there something in between us all the time? Are we being dum dums on the internet? From comments to private messages, people are freer with harsh words, acting as experts in ...
