THINK OF THE CHILDREN! Kids in the Media
Listen to this new episode where Danielle and Zara have an honest conversation about the presence of children in media. We discuss the legalities around child labour, the horrendous lengths parents will go to for attention, and assess who has access to child-content. It’s a scary world and kids deserve privacy and protection - especially from their caregivers.

The Role of Christian Women
This was coming eventually… Danielle and Zara have a long and informal conversation about the role of Christian women in the church, in marriage, and life in general. Looking at the contentious scriptures and breaking them down in a digestible way, we hope this discussion is helpful. We talk about Eve (who screwed us over), the importance of women in the early church, and our Proverbs 31 Husband.

Why do we even do this podcast?
WE’RE BACK! Danielle & Zara kick off season 5 of In Other Words with a personal Q&A. A lot has changed since season 1 and we thought it was time for us to give you a glimpse into who we are. We share our thoughts on ‘the one’, exciting things still to come this year, identifying as LGBTQ+ while also being Christian, and of course, our standard virgins who talk about sex segment. We love you!
