## Resource

Dawn and Ruth sit down with Rev. Elizabeth Riley, and this conversation is about to get real. We're talking about her book Rage Prayers—which is exactly what it sounds like and exactly what we all need permission to do. Here's the deal: You don't have to sanitize your feelings for God. Anger? Bring it. Grief? Absolutely. The messy, ugly, raw stuff you think you're supposed to keep hidden? God can handle it, and Elizabeth's here to tell you why that matters. She's sharing personal stories that'll punch you right in the feels - navigating divorce, losing her father, and all the ways life has taught her that authentic spirituality means showing up as your whole self, not just the parts that look good on Sunday morning. They're also diving into how social media has changed modern evangelism (for better and worse), and why creative ministries require the kind of flexibility that traditional church structures sometimes can't handle. Because the work of reaching people where they are? That's messy, evolving, and beautiful all at once. This episode is for anyone who's ever been told their feelings were "too much" for God. Spoiler alert: They're not. So grab your coffee and get ready to feel seen.
