Happy New Year and welcome back to Sunday Live! We’re kicking off 2026 with a packed episode full of your questions on salvation fears, guilt, anger, and so much more. But first—we have a Church Lady and Church Gentleman update you won’t want to miss.
We also share what captivated our family over the holiday break: a documentary about Yakutia, Siberia—the coldest place on earth—and how watching their community work together challenged everything we think about church, togetherness, and why hardship brings people closer.
From there we dive into your questions, covering:
- Should you tell someone to mind their own business? How to handle uncomfortable questions from people who haven’t earned relational credibility to ask them.
- Spiritual content that triggers salvation OCD — Why hours of scrolling through Christian videos might be making your doubts worse, and the difference between meditating on Scripture and compulsively ruminating over it. How to relate to Christian click-bait while also realizing how OCD impacts you.
- Phone addiction and idolatry — is this really an idolatry issue or something deeper?
- ChatGPT obsession and emotional dysregulation — When AI reassurance-seeking becomes its own compulsion and how it affects emotional regulation.
- How to relate to your overwhelming emotional storms.
- “Give until it hurts” teaching — Unpacking toxic financial teaching in the church and what generosity actually looks like without guilt manipulation
- Feeling guilty if you don’t help everyone — The exhausting weight of over-responsibility and how to find freedom from people-pleasing disguised as servanthood
- Lordship salvation confusion — Addressing the fear and confusion around this theological debate and what it means for your assurance
- How to work through resentment — Why anger connects to unhealed history, the difference between feeling an emotion and feeding it, and how to let things wash through without spinning into bitterness
Whether you’re navigating OCD, anxiety, scrupulosity, trauma recovery, or trying to break free from guilt-driven Christianity, this episode has something for you.
