Can Women Lead, Preach, and Partner in the Church?

What does the Bible really teach about the role of women in the Church? In this episode, Dhati and Missie dive into one of the most misunderstood conversations in our culture — exploring God’s design for women through the lens of Genesis 1–3, dignity, purpose, and partnership.
They unpack:
The divine intent behind male and female partnership
How sin distorted mutual dignity and purpose
What empowerment and submission really mean
The role of women in leadership, ministry, and mission
Dhati shares his conviction to empower women in ministry and discipleship, while Missie reflects on her lived experience navigating leadership and partnership in the Church.
Whether you’ve wrestled with this topic personally or want to learn how to build a church culture that honors both men and women, this conversation invites us back to Eden — where partnership was God’s plan from the beginning.

When Faith Becomes a Brand: Rethinking the Evangelical Divide

What happens when faith becomes a brand? In this honest conversation, Dhati, Missie, Angie and Anthony wrestle with the cultural baggage of evangelicalism—from race and politics to belonging and belief. They explore how tribalism has divided the Church and how Jesus still calls His people to a ministry of reconciliation.
This isn’t about taking sides—it’s about returning to the simplicity of following Christ.

From Deconstruction to Reconstruction: How Gen Z Is Rebuilding Faith

In this follow-up to last week’s episode on deconstruction, Dhati and Missie sit down again with Jeremiah and Angelica to talk about what reconstruction looks like—how a generation is rebuilding faith, rediscovering Scripture, and choosing authenticity in a digital world.
From doubt to discipleship, from questions to conviction—this is a real conversation about faith that lasts.

Deconstruction & Gen Z: What the Church Needs to Hear

For missionaries and leaders reaching Gen Z: this episode unpacks how young believers wrestle with truth, trauma, and trust—and how the church can meet them there.

Deconstructing Faith Without Losing Jesus

Dhati and Missie explore the trend of deconstruction in today’s church—why it happens, how it can go wrong, and how believers can rebuild with Jesus and community at the center.

How to Carry the Weight of Leadership

Leadership in urban ministry comes with both opportunity and weight.
 
In this episode, Dhati and Missie break down what it means to lead when you feel unprepared, overlooked, or even like an imposter. Drawing from the IMPACT framework—Influence, Mission, Passion, Action, Commitment, and Trust—they speak honestly about sacrifice, unexpected callings, and the realities of leading across cultural and gender lines.
 
For urban missionaries who sometimes feel boxed in or questioned, this conversation is both an encouragement and a challenge: your leadership matters, and God’s call is bigger than any role you’ve been assigned.

Faith in the Age of Outrage

We’re living in a moment where disagreement feels like war. The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk reminds us not just of political volatility but of how far our culture has drifted from seeing the humanity in one another.
 
In this episode, Dhati and Missie wrestle with the tension: How do followers of Jesus engage faithfully in a society that thrives on outrage, algorithms, and tribalism? What does it mean to hold conviction without dehumanizing, to grieve without dismissing, and to create spaces where real dialogue can happen?
 
This conversation challenges us to embrace mutual brokenness, resist the pull of polarization, and return to the gospel’s call: to love without conditions and to see the image of God in every person—even those we may never agree with.

Why Avoiding Conflict Hurts the Church

Conflict is inevitable in ministry, leadership, and life—but how we respond makes all the difference. In this episode of the My BLVD Podcast, Dhati and Missie unpack what it looks like to engage conflict in healthy, biblical ways.
From Acts 6 to the tensions we feel in our churches, families, and communities, they explore:
Why avoiding conflict hurts us more than facing it
How leaders can balance authenticity with discretion
Practical steps for moving from tension to reconciliation
Why conflict can actually strengthen mission when handled well
 
This conversation is raw, real, and full of hope for leaders navigating difficult spaces.

Leading Through Change Without Losing Courage

Welcome to Season 5 of the MyBLVD Podcast! 🎙️
 
Dhati and Missie kick things off by diving straight into the real tensions urban missionaries and leaders face when vision collides with fear, ethics, and the grind of everyday ministry. From personal stories of loss, transition, and rebuilding after crisis, to wrestling with how morality and mission overlap, this episode gets honest about the cost of leadership. Dhati and Missie unpack what courage really looks like—not the absence of fear, but moving forward anyway, convinced that God has called you to act.
 
Whether you’re leading a church, a nonprofit, or simply trying to navigate change in your own community, this conversation will challenge you to slow down, examine your fears, and discern when change is Spirit-led versus self-driven.
 
If you’ve ever wondered how to faithfully lead through organizational shifts, cultural pressure, or seasons of doubt, this episode is for you.
