Naked & Unafraid: A Framework for Criticism Artwork

Even If Podcast

You want to believe God is good, faithful and just but have lived enough life to know that it isn't always that simple or easy. It's alright - pull up a chair and sit a spell. You're in good company.

Host Kristi Lowe knows our stories are probably different, but if you’ve been hurt or broken, mad at God or ready to give up - we probably have more in common than you think. Kristi talks candidly the challenges of living out the Christian faith - everything from family dynamics, church hurt, gossip and addiction to politics, prostitution, mental health, suicide, pornography, addiction or ANYTHING in between - nothing is off limits. Because one thing is for sure - God is big enough to handle our toughest questions, she's seen that first hand.

Each Tuesday on the Even If podcast, you'll hear stories of faith, and honest conversation about the challenges of trusting God in the hard times. Each episode shows us just a little bit more of Jesus - the ultimate beacon of hope in this dark world - Even If we can't see or understand it all.

Naked & Unafraid: A Framework for Criticism

Judgemental feedback is the thing that none of us are excited about. The words can really get under our skin and deter us from fully being who God called us to be. Join me as I chat about navigating the sting of criticism and measuring its merit.

We should only invite what’s trustworthy and kind. There are times where criticism is delivered poorly and there are other times where the criticism is being weaponized. This episode is Naked & Unafraid: Criticism. Take a moment to figure out which criticism is worth your time.
