The Devil's Lettuce, Mary Jane, Wacky Tobaccy. We're going suuuuper controversial (maybe?) with our discussion of Christians and Cannabis. Also, Jess is plagued by dehydrated amphibians. There's a lot happening in this one, guys.

Prayer is one of the most important spiritual practices of people of faith, but it can get so complicated. So today, the girls are unpacking prayer and taking a hard look at how we often pack a lot of baggage onto our prayer lives. There's a detour around Messy TikTok and plenty of digressions in store.

Common sense ain’t so common anymore, so it’s high time the girls talked about how they’re smarter than everyone else. Okay, maybe not that, but they do get into a great discussion about teaching kids about consequences, and they discuss how not all sparkling water is created equal. We’re looking at you Creamsicle Waterloo. Also, shoutout to the technical difficulties that stole Joi’s intro. We can 1000% guarantee that she sang it, though.

After an abrupt left turn at the beginning of this episode, the girls are getting to the meat and potatoes of things. When a magazine trademarks something church-related and then come after churches who have been using that term for decades, what's really going on? If you are in worship ministry, you might have heard about this. It's gonna get spicy, y'all!
