It started with rage texts. The kind you send when the news feels unbearable and you need someone who gets it.

Election season stirred up a storm – both in the headlines and in our hearts. Hate was getting loud. Old wounds were reopened. And in the middle of it all, we found ourselves asking: how do you stay soft when the world feels so hard?

This episode of You Don’t Know is what happens when two Southern women – raised in the thick of conservative evangelical culture – sit down to process the grief, the fury, and the deep desire to do better.

It’s not a political debate. It’s not a list of hot takes. It’s a vulnerable, messy, layered conversation about history, power, family, womanhood, and the slow work of unlearning harm.

As Bekah shares her musings with Linds, she explores where she came from and where she hopes we’re headed, she shares about strong women who shaped her, she shares about why it matters who gets elected – even if we’d rather avoid the whole thing, and most of all, we talk about the sacred work of listening well, staying curious, and showing up for each other when it counts.

No spoilers here – you’ll have to listen for the full story.

But if you’ve ever felt too holy for church and too heretical to stay quiet… you’re in the right place.
