In this episode, we sit down with our friend Vassia, whose deep relationship with the Bible has been a source of light and guidance for many, including our co-host during times of doubt and challenge. Vasya shares her lifelong journey with Christianity—growing up in a close-knit church community, continuing her commitment through ongoing Bible studies, and learning how scripture can speak directly to real-life situations.

She opens up about trusting God through personal loss, including miscarriage, and reflects on how the characters in the Bible mirror our own relationship with faith, doubt, and divinity. Vasya also shares her thoughtful approach to raising her children in the Christian faith, using everyday experiences to teach about God and the Trinity.

A heartfelt conversation about faith as lived experience, scripture as a guide, and trust cultivated over a lifetime.
