Abigail sits down with friends she grew up with in church for a conversation full of honesty, humor, and the kind of stories only lifelong church kids can tell.

The episode ends with a fun “Would You Rather” game that brings out the best kind of chaos. It’s nostalgic, relatable, and full of encouragement for anyone learning to own their faith journey.
