Episode 127: Why we need both Testimonies and Theology - 'Her Theology' Collab

In this special collab with 'Her Theology', Christa sits down with Cass to talk about why the church needs both real testimonies and solid theology. One without the other just doesn’t work - we need stories that remind us of God’s goodness, and truth from Scripture to keep us grounded.

But this is OOS, so of course the conversation doesn’t end there! Cass and Christa go down all kinds of trails: from viral reels and hidden sin, to porn and love addiction, even new age beliefs and aliens 👀. Together they explore how testimonies are a witness for Christ and encourage us to endure in our faith, and how theology helps us discern, grow, and stay close to Jesus.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your story matters, or whether theology is really that important, this episode is for you. It’s honest, a little raw, but full of hope - and we pray it points you to Christ.
