They asked about everything... pretty much "the whole enchilada" of the issues women are facing today. So welcome to "The Soul Enchilada," where we'll talk about anything...

    Jun 24 2025

    SOUL Group Questions:

    Ask each other these questions to build a stronger connection with a friend or in your Soul Group.

    1. What did you hear from Laura and Mick’s conversation that surprised you about grief?

    2. When have you walked through the D’s Laura brought up (death, divorce, devastation, disease, debt…)? How did that experience impact how you see the world today?

    3. What are ways we can support people who are grieving? Why is it important to be careful with the words we choose and the language we use around grief and loss?

    4. Who needs your presence, listening ear, or loving-kindness because they are walking through a dark valley or along a tough road? How will you show up for them?

  • SE 110: Let's Talk About a Tough Topic
    Jun 10 2025

    This Week’s Listener Question:

    My child came home from college and says he now identifies as gay and has a boyfriend. I was raised in a church that believes homosexuality is a sin. What do you think I should do?

    SOUL Group Questions:

    Ask each other these questions to build a stronger connection with a friend or in your Soul Group.

    1. What are your first thoughts and emotions after listening to this podcast? What comes up for you?

    2. When you’re faced with a tough topic, how do you usually prepare for the conversation and carry it out?

    3. If you grew up in the church or attend one now, why do you think some sins are talked about more than others?

    4. Laura and Christine referred to the Bible passage Micah 6:9 – What does the LORD require of you? To act justly to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. How might this call help us to have the courage to engage in tough conversations?

  • SE 109: Speak Up, or Shut Up? Guidance For a Divided World.
    May 27 2025

    This Week’s Listener Question:

    It seems that we’re living in a time when family and friends disagree significantly on important issues. I find myself arguing with some people and ignoring others because I’d rather live in unity and everyone get along. Do you have any advice?

    SOUL Group Questions:

    Ask each other these questions to build a stronger connection with a friend or in your Soul Group.

    1. How has judgment, categorizing, or labeling wounded you or someone you care about in the past?

    2. How can we step back from judging others and open up curious conversations? What does that look and sound like?

    3. Even when you disagree with someone, how can you maintain a connection of love or friendship?

    4. When have you welcomed people into your home or life who have different beliefs or lifestyles than you? Share your stories to encourage others to do the same.
