naked and unashamed
Tega Faafa Taylor
Welcome to naked and unashamed, the podcast where we take off the masks, take off the filters, shed our shells, and wear our most vulnerable self, void of guilt and shame. This is a space where we hear the stories and experiences of others, process some of the big (and small) questions in life, and get extremely vulnerable, taking a step forward towards that Genesis 2:25 life. New episodes uploaded on Mondays.
The Beauty of the Basement
Things are changing up in life and it would only be fitting to document it, am I right? For anyone who has ever felt lost, confused, wondering, wandering, and honestly just in the fog—this episode is for you.Welcome to a new year and another episode of naked and unashamed where today, I'll be talking about where I've (truthfully) been for the past twelve months. My mom's basement.The basement has taught me a lot, and perhaps, the biggest blessing in our lives is that the basement "seasons" are meant to shape us and not sever us. I hope that this first episode back is an encouragement of sorts and gives you permission to hold both hope and honesty.--------------Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel and the podcast show!

It's Time To Start Dreaming Bigger
MY FAITH IS STIRRED TODAY, DO YOU HEAR ME????My God, today.Welcome to another episode of naked and unashamed where I'm fired up talking about the idea of believing for extraordinary miracles. Somewhere along the way on the road of rejection, I settled for believing for "cute" dreams. Dreams that were achievable with hard work, a bit of faith, and just trusting in God. And then I realized that I was cheating myself and boxing in God. That in reality, I was settling for what I could see happening.That I actually did not trust that God could, so I never ever thought to imagine. To dream. To hope.And in God's kindness and timing, my heart was stirred. That it very much IS possible to dream and believe for the type of miracles (and more!) that we see in Scripture. That God is willing AND able. My prayer is that this episode stirs something in you that may have been dormant. It's time to start dreaming again—bigger than ever before.--------------Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel and the podcast show!

Do You Know What You're Really Asking For?
HAPPY OCTOBER......and happy last episode of October all at the same time. Oops.Welcome to another episode of naked and unashamed! I'm back from my unintentional hiatus, and today we're catching up, talking about the Dove Awards, the new business that London and I launched, and sitting in the suffering that comes with praying bold prayers. This year as a whole has stretched me deeply; there's been a lot of tears and growth. But I'm so incredibly grateful for it.For the one suffering in silence, I hope that you experience the comfort of knowing that not only is the Lord with you, but I feel you. The process of looking more like Jesus is always worth the pain and pruning it takes to get there.--------------Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel and the podcast show!

The Battle Between Flesh and Spirit in Dating with Glorious and LaShae Foreman
Let's be real. Dating is no joke.And dating as a Christian? Whew, it is NOT easy!First of all, welcome to another episode of naked and unashamed! On today's episode, London and I sit with our friends (and fellow newlyweds!), Glo and LaShae Foreman, to talk all about our lessons from dating and the difficulties we faced in that season of life.We get pretty honest in talking about lust, our pasts, temptation, fighting for the relationship, and choosing to submit to God, even when it's difficult.My hope and prayer is that this episode reminds you that choosing God is worth it. That even if (or when) you mess up, He restores, redeems, and reminds us of who we are and why His way is best.--------------Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel and the podcast show!

The Gospel Isn't Colorblind
...and it's a good thing it isn't.Because in seeing all the parts of us and all that colors our lives and stories, Jesus still chose relationship with us. That, my friends, is GOOD news.Welcome to another episode of naked and unashamed where this week, we talk and process through a topic that I've been passionate about for a few years now: what it looks like to see one another accurately and meet one another with Christlike love. This episode was absolutely recorded at nearly midnight, so forgive me for all my filler words and the imperfection in relaying what I was trying to say, but I hope the sentiment is there.I pray that this episode challenge all of us in what it looks like to live out the good news of Jesus. To make room for one another. To be curious about one another for the sake of unity.And I hope and pray that we hear one another with a deeper clarity and context.--------------Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel and the podcast show!

Grieving People Who Are Still Alive
Happy Monday and welcome back to another episode of naked and unashamed!After two weeks, we're back at it with a new solo episode where we're talking all about the grief that comes with the end of a friendship as you once knew it. We often associate grief with death, but there's a grief and pain that also comes with loss. In this episode, we sit in my living room for a candid conversation with friendships as I've experienced them, the areas in which God is growing me, and how we can be encouraged by the relationship that Paul and Barnabas had in the book of Acts.I hope this episode meets you where you are and encourages you that God is orchestrating more than you know!--------------Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel and the podcast show!

To Be Truly Naked and Unashamed with Marquise and Krystal Cox
Welcome to a new week and a new episode of naked and unashamed! Listen, I've been wanting to get this episode into your hands and ears since we recorded it. On the podcast today we have two people who I respect, admire, and love so incredibly dearly: Marquise and Krystal Cox. This powerhouse couple sat with me and we talked about EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING. I contemplated splitting this into two parts, but it was just too good not to share the entire episode all at once. From dying to self, to relinquishing control, to being a safety net for others, to even life after broken trust, Krystal and Marquise walk with us on their own personal journey and remind us of what it looks like to choose life with God and to live out being naked and unashamed.I hope this podcast opens your eyes to what it looks like to be molded to look like Jesus and to live a life of true vulnerability!--------------Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel and the podcast show!

Body Insecurity & Navigating When Your Body Changes with London Taylor
WELCOME TO SEASON FOUR, EPISODE ONE!I am so excited to be back I can't even contain it, y'all. We're kicking this season off with London and I talking about a topic we've talked about a lot lately: our bodies. And while, yes, our physical bodies are decaying and we know that it's what on the inside that counts, we're still human beings who deal with insecurity about what's on the outside.Today we talk a lot about where our perspective of self was shaped, how we're navigating our current changes, and how what we say about ourselves really impacts how we see ourselves and the vessel God created.I hope that you feel seen and that you're reminded that you may not be alone in growing in more security of God and self.--------------Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel and the podcast show!
