In this episode of the Unfiltered Christian Podcast, Cece addresses the complex issue of salvation in the context of marriage, particularly when one spouse is a believer, and the other is not. She clarifies common misconceptions about the transferability of salvation and emphasises the unique role of the believing spouse in creating a spiritually nurturing environment. Through biblical references, Cece reassures listeners that while their faith cannot save their spouse, it can profoundly influence their spiritual journey. The episode concludes with a prayer for strength and peace in these marriages, encouraging listeners to hold onto hope and trust in Yah's timing.

In this conversation, Cece and Shay explore the complexities of sexual desires, particularly in the context of Christian beliefs and societal influences. They discuss whether men and women have similar needs to 'get it out of their system' before marriage, the cultural pressures surrounding sexual behaviour, and the importance of celibacy and prayer in navigating these challenges. The dialogue emphasises the need for understanding and support in addressing sexual struggles while maintaining a focus on faith and personal growth.

The news cycle is loud, but fear doesn’t get the final word. We dive into Jesus’ warnings about “wars and rumours of wars” and ask a sharper question: how do we stay watchful without being consumed by worry? From UK emergency alerts to rising global tension, we trace how scripture interprets our moment and why “do not be troubled” is an invitation into practised peace, not passive denial.

Together we unpack the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25 and what “extra oil” looks like today: simple, daily habits that build spiritual margin when life feels brittle. We also explore 2 Timothy 3 and the rise of self, money, and deception, discussing frankly false prophets, media overload, and the danger of outsourcing one's faith to personalities. Discernment grows where devotion is nourished, so we share practical ways to guard attention, test teaching, and keep your ear tuned to the Shepherd’s voice.

This is an honest conversation about struggle and hope. One of us opens up about dyslexia, guilt, and the battle for consistency, offering realistic steps: audio Bible, one chapter a day, short prayers that cut through noise, repentance as relief rather than self-condemnation. We close with anchors from Psalm 46 and Isaiah 41:10, reminding ourselves that God is our refuge and strength, and that His peace is stronger than any headline.

Grief has a way of exposing what we’ve carefully hidden—especially when a funeral puts estranged family at the same table. I share how a long goodbye stretched my emotions thin, how a simple act of kindness from my sister disarmed my defences, and why the hug I thought I wanted felt impossibly heavy. This isn’t a tidy redemption arc; it’s the slow, honest work of naming pain, owning pride, and learning to forgive with more than words. We get practical about spiritual warfare in the mind, taking every thought captive, and asking Yahuwah to rewrite the stories that turn loved ones into enemies.

You’ll hear the small, human steps that actually move reconciliation forward: fasting to make room for clarity, praying for the removal of lodged hurt, offering a soft greeting when silence would feel safer, and setting boundaries that protect without punishing. We talk about the danger of third‑party stories—how “Chinese whispers” warp motives and multiply offence—and a simple rule that can save relationships: if it wasn’t said to you, treat it as unsaid and take it to prayer. Along the way, we look at Yeshua’s pattern of mercy with Judas and Peter, the humility of examining the log in our own eye, and the comfort of Psalms reminding us that Yah is close to the brokenhearted.

If you’re stuck between wanting peace and not feeling ready, you’re not failing—you’re human. Let this conversation give you language, tools, and courage to try again without pretending the hurt never happened. Share this with someone who needs a nudge toward healing, subscribe for more unfiltered faith and mental health conversations, and leave a review telling us the one small step you’ll take this week.

The controversial practice of speaking in tongues creates division among believers, with some embracing it as divine connection and others questioning its biblical basis. Shay and Cece fearlessly tackle this topic, sharing their personal journeys of discomfort and discovery.

Shay recounts her first encounter with tongue-speaking at a youth Bible study. "I assumed she was speaking in her language," she explains, describing her confusion when learning it was considered a spiritual gift. This sparked her quest for understanding, leading her to Scripture and revealing a significant disconnect between modern practice and biblical teaching.

Both hosts examine key passages, particularly 1 Corinthians 14:27-28: "If any man speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at most by three, and that by course; let one interpret. But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent." This requirement for interpretation challenges the common practice of unintelligible utterances that no one can translate. As they note, "God is not the author of confusion, but of peace."

The conversation expands beyond tongues to challenge how we approach faith traditions generally. When church practices conflict with Scripture, the hosts advocate for personal study and seeking divine guidance rather than conforming to tradition. "Not because everyone else is doing it means they are correct," Shay emphasizes, encouraging listeners to examine their beliefs with an open heart.

Whether you currently speak in tongues or have questioned the practice, this episode provides scriptural foundation and thoughtful perspective. Take this opportunity to pray about your own spiritual practices, asking God to reveal truth as you continue your faith journey. Remember, we're all walking the narrow path together, learning and growing as we seek to honor Him.

Grief strikes without warning, respecting no schedules or expectations. One moment you're functioning, the next you're struggling to breathe – yet somehow the world expects you to keep moving forward as if nothing has changed.

This deeply personal episode explores both sides of the grief journey – what it means to be grieving and what it means to support someone through their grief. Drawing from my own recent loss and ongoing journey after my sister's passing in March, I share the challenging reality of grief's timeline not aligning with society's expectations. When breathing feels like work and the simplest tasks become mountains to climb, the disconnect between your internal reality and external expectations creates an impossible burden.

Scripture offers us wisdom through passages like Ecclesiastes 3:4 which reminds us that Yahuwah allows time for mourning. This divine permission stands in stark contrast to a world that often seems impatient with grief, expecting quick "recovery" and consistent behavior. But grief changes us. It shifts our personalities, disrupts our focus, and transforms our responses – all perfectly natural reactions to profound loss.

For those supporting grievers, presence trumps perfection. Sometimes a simple "I'm thinking of you" message or sitting in comfortable silence communicates more love than attempted solutions or platitudes. Your grace during a griever's inconsistent days – when they might seem fine one moment and shut down the next – creates sacred space for healing. As Romans 12:15 guides us, "Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep," even when you don't fully understand their pain.

Remember that grief isn't something to "get over" – it's something to get through. The tears that come years later when hearing a song or remembering a birthday aren't signs of regression; they're testaments to love that continues beyond death. In our shared vulnerability, we can hold onto the promise of Revelation 21:4, that one day every tear will be wiped away. Until then, we carry each other with gentleness, extending grace in both directions.

If you're grieving today, know that you're seen, you're held, and you're not alone. Your inconsistency is welcome here.
