Introducing Not Your Average, a new and vulnerable podcast where your host, Erin, pushes past the bullshit and opens up about starting something new from a place of simultaneous strength and fear. Most important takeaway: just show up anyway.  

While this episode teases a newsletter that was well-intentioned, it was poorly executed. I cannot wait to pop into your inboxes soon and will be sure to update all relevant links when it's ready. 

In the meantime, come hang out on Instagram @notyouraverageerin and let me know who and what you're excited to hear about next.

In a world that is hyper-sexualized and increasingly desensitized to physical boundaries, how are we as Christians supposed to respond during singleness, dating, and newlywed? In this week’s episode, Jesse and Erin debate how the church has perpetuated sexual ignorance by not proactively starting this discussion and setting young people up for success instead of shame.

Episode Summary
We are often asked the question, "What do I do if my partner doesn't believe the same things as me?" This is a question we all need to wrestle with because it can cause major conflicts down the road in any relationship. In this episode we talk about the importance of spiritual alignment before getting married and even when you are married.

We are both recovering perfectionists and we know the endless struggle to be perfect all too well. Jesse is a textbook perfectionist and is a One on the Enneagram. It goes without saying that Erin knows a thing or two about living with a perfectionist. We get into topics of self-worth, communicating expectations, and how perfectionism is a self-preservation tactic that can be damaging long-term if it goes unchecked.
