17 FEB 2025 · What is critical race theory, really? And how should people of faith think of it? How should people of faith respond to it and one another?
Listen to the young adults explore critical race theory to help you discern how to faithfully unfold your own wings in a society that often doesn't let you speak your mind or ask questions.
16 DEC 2024 · What might people of faith think and say about reparations? It's not just a political issue! In fact, in the year of jubilee, the Bible has quite a lot to say about reparations that we seem to have forgotten.
As young adults continue to try and carve out their own understanding of faith and faithfulness, and not just taking elders' 'word for it,' Unfolding Wings is your place to get thorough investigation of important and relevant subjects that matter to our generation.
25 NOV 2024 · What is justice? Isn't it pretty clear that 'justice' is punishing people according to the law?
Well, many young adults and Christians are rethinking the 'traditional' understanding of justice. And God has been inviting us to rethink justice for centuries. What justice could look like is called restorative or rehabilitative justice.Â
Listen to the Unfolding Wings cast talk about justice, restorative justice in particular, so that you can continue exploring what faithfulness looks like to you so that you can unfold your wings and fly. As always, on Unfolding Wings, the episode is an opportunity to explore new, faithful ways of thinking without the judgment we can often feel from our parents or elders in church.
28 OCT 2024 · What are we supposed to do in life? How can we find meaning in our work and/or life? Do I have a specific calling? What is it?
Join the Unfolding Wings team as they address all these questions and more to help you, young adults especially, understand our calling and discern what it is and then faithfully live into it. One of the more personally relevant topics for young adults, whether religious or not.
Below are some related links referenced in the episode, including the quadrant diagram on different types of calling.

20 OCT 2024 · You've no doubt heard a lot about nationalism, especially Christian nationalism. Is that something long-time and budding Christians should adhere to? Or oppose? What does it mean? What about being a Christian patriot of the nation? Is that possible?
We explore a lot of the questions and conversation that young adult Christians are hoping to explore. Giving one another the space to ask the questions and say the words that we feel but don't always feel comfortable expressing in our communities.
Take a deep breath!
25 AUG 2024 · What are Christians supposed to think and do about the environment? There's a pretty clear biblical answer. For those young adults especially trying to learn how to unfold their wings and live faithfully but haven't been sure if they can ask the questions, here's the podcast for you.
28 JUL 2024 · Why are Christians eating flesh and drinking blood? What's really happening in Holy Communion? Is it good and holy or wackadoodle?Â
Get your questions answered as we explore our faith and how to be faithful together, how to unfold our wings, a podcast geared towards young adults and youth with questions. Why is Communion important? This is a delightful and awesome conversation!
28 JUL 2024 · Why do we have denominations? What are they for? Why can't we all just get along? We all believe in the same God after all.Â
Get some of your questions answered here as you continue to unfold your wings and explore how to be faithful, on the one podcast for young adults trying to navigate faithfulness with lots of questions.
27 MAY 2024 · The most basic of Christian beliefs, the Trinity, is also one of the most confusing. How can a god be three-in-one? A lot of people wonder but do so privately, assuming that everyone else has it figured out. But that's what this podcast is for, to give space to explore the things we're all questioning.Â
Join the Unfolding Wings team to get an honest look at some (nowhere close to all!) of the questions you may have about the Trinity, to help you unfold your own wings.

22 APR 2024 · Abortion is one of those hot-button issues that seem particularly relevant for Christians. But is the public perception that a Christian equals a strict pro-lifer accurate? Does it apply to all Christians? Can young adults trying to figure out their own path be faithfully pro-choice?
Check out this episode as the Unfolding Wings cast continues to try and give a safe and brave space to all young adults trying to faithfully unfold their wings in the world.
