Ep. 14 - "God has a plan for your life!" ...ok, then.

Okay, Karen, how about you take your toxic positivity and drivelous platitudes back to Hobby Lobby and stop misinterpreting Jeremiah 29:11? Thanks.

This week, Amanda and Christina have a special guest from inside the house--Brandon, Amanda's husband! The squad discusses the unintentionally harmful messages they received as children and teens (and young adults) in the church regarding life's "purpose" and the "plan" that God "has for your life." If you're a seminary drop out, former Christian Studies major, or former youth-pastor-wannabe, this is definitely the episode for you. Listen as the hosts unpack what it means to lead a purposeful life and find your calling (if such a thing even exists.)

As always, thank you for listening! Please rate, review and subscribe to Dear God, What the Hell?! wherever podcasts are found (but especially Apple Podcasts.) All we want for Chrismukkah is you...r subscription and for you to share us with your friends. You can also follow and chat with us on Instagram and Twitter.

This week, Amanda recommends you learn more about yourself by reading "The Road Back To You" by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile, and remembering none of us knows what is truly good or truly bad in life while watching Aaron Weiss's "Horse Story." Meanwhile, Christina recommends you order a boxed set of A Game for Good Christians (for holidays, we love mixing the AGFGC deck with our Cards Against Humanity deck!) and Brandon recommends you recognize the calling of the church by reading the book of Acts from the New Testament, and then get your life together by reading "Designing your Life" by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, and "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life" by Mark Manson.
