Gaslight Gospel Ep 11 – When Warnings Turn Real Part 1
Abuse in Aotearoa hides in plain sight. A raw guide to spotting coercive control, naming the pattern, and taking safer next steps. This piece translates vague unease into clear signals: the “eggshells test,” the apology that feels like a slap, sexual coercion, door-blocking, thrown objects, and the cycle that keeps you hooked. Through vivid scenes and plain-language tools, it shows how to name the pattern (power, not passion), set and enforce boundaries, and make a safety plan before the harm escalates.

Saved and Besieged Ep 10 - It’s Complicated - God’s Design for Relationships in a Swipe-Right World
Burnt by religion? This raw, practical guide swaps arguments for actual care—love God, love your neighbour, and meet the God who stays. “Single but Not Alone” reframes singleness as God’s prep school, not a holding cell. With Scripture, humour, and real-world moves, it shows how to build with God, grow self-awareness, raise your standards beyond dimples, and cultivate community—so you arrive to any future relationship as a solid one, not a hungry half. Ecclesiastes calls the season a gift; 2 Peter says you’re already equipped. This is a practical, grace-filled guide to enjoy now and prepare well.
