The Carrie On Podcast w/Carrie Lloyd Carrie Lloyd

‘Given the current climate of the church and church hurts, Carrie tackles the challenges the concerns of gas lighting behaviour amidst the church. Whether people are wishing to skip over the problem straight to the fix-it valve, or refusing a culture of feedback, we are beginning to see the church be recalibrated into a different space. How do we avoid gas lighting those who came to help build a church in the first place, and how do we avoid the pitfalls of hierarchy? It isn’t cancel culture. It isn’t refusal to attend at all. The solution is within our reach.’

Carrie discusses the importance of facing difficult times. Jesus' demonstration of processing pain in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion became a recorded example of how we take the toughest questions to God. This was recorded at Magdalene Hope's annual women's conference in Bakersfield, California, in October 2023. 

Carrie looks into the current era of discussing our trauma, how we can build entire identities on overcoming. From opinion to cancel culture, are we helping ourselves when it comes to our past? Or are we hindering our future by gaining validation on the stories of victory? In this honest episode, she challenges some of the issues of social media, content creation, and why focusing on what we overcame could be holding us back. 

Carrie approaches the toxic increase of bitterness in society. What are the signs of someone functioning in bitterness and how can we avoid it ourselves?
