Least Likely

Life or Death

I don't even know what day of quarantine it is, friends, but happy day nonetheless... Welcome back to the Least Likely Cast! Thank you for joining me here. This week I'm sharing about a recent encounter I had with a stranger in the park and how the Lord used that moment to reach me in the pain and hurt I'm feeling right now with all this social isolation. I pray these words are a balm of encouragement to you with whatever pain you are carrying from our new crazy season of life.  Don't forget to subscribe and leave a rating/review if you have time!

A Place to Go

Friends, my prayer for you through this season of isolation and uncertainty is that you would feel the Lord's presence and provision for you. He is here, He cares, He loves you, and He's for you.  This week I'm sharing my own story of experiencing God's goodness and faithfulness during this season with COVID-19. The love the Lord has shown me over the last 7 weeks to prepare for this new normal has been such a blessing. I hope my testimony in this is a hope and encouragement for you as we look in to the future.  Don't forget to subscribe and leave a rating/review if you have time!

Good & Faithful

Hopefully the title of this episode has not scared you away! This week we're bringing some closure to all those sex talks I started last summer with the God & Sex and Purity Culture series. I definitely encourage you to listen to those episodes before OR after listening to this week's episode.  We're diving into a more relational, life application setting this week of how sex (and my desire to not have it) has affected my dating life and pursuit of a husband. We're also exploring the cultural view on sex and how that is leaving its mark on single people longing to be married.  I love having these real conversations about life and wounds and healing and the Lord's love with all of you. My hope is that these words are a blessing to you and possibly for people you know in the thick of dating and pursuing marriage.  Don't forget to subscribe and leave a rating/review if you have time!

What's a Blessing?

Happy Wednesday, everyone! It's time for ANOTHER new episode of the Least Likely Cast... No one is more shocked than me, truly.  This week we're talking about the importance of telling our stories and how being together (while doing so) is just plain better. The Lord wants us to be ourselves with Him, but He also wants us to be ourselves with each other! I hope these words are an encouragement to you to be brave enough to be yourself to your friends, family, church, and community.  Don't forget to subscribe!

Better Together

We're now two for two these last couple of weeks with new episodes - truly a miracle I tell you! Thank you for joining me again for another week here on the Least Likely Cast. This week I'm sharing one of the most difficult things I could possibly ever share with anyone - my almost 20 year struggle with self loathing and hatred and how the Lord has healed that deep brokenness in me. But the Lord is good and His love is real and this story is such a testament to that. I hope this part of my journey is a blessing to you. ***A disclaimer for young listeners, parents of young people, or people who have a history with trauma from bullying or have mental health struggles: This week's episode is a heavy discussion that may be triggering or inappropriate for some listeners.*** Don't forget to subscribe!

The Heart of Me

Perfect Peace

It's great to be back another week with all of you! Thank you so much for listening to the Least Likely Cast. I truly hope the Lord is blessing you through these conversations each week. This week we're talking about obedience and the two main options we have to approach it with the Lord - compliance vs humility. I'll be talking about the mainstream church's approach to humility, as well as sharing part of my journey with God and the radical change that occurred in my life that altered the way I view and live out obedience in my life.

Obedience

Welcome back, brothers & sisters! Thank you so much for joining me another week here on the Least Likely Cast. This week my dear friend and brother Michael Olmstead is joining me to talk about some pretty life changing stuff found at the end of Revelation in the Bible.  Michael and I are digging into the imagery of Heaven described by John in Revelation 21 & 22 and how that fits into our lives - right now. Like I said, this is all very paradigm shifting, life altering stuff! You do not want to miss out.  Don't forget to subscribe!

The Street that is Golden (ft. Michael Olmstead)

Here we go, friends! Purity Culture Part 2 is here. This week we're rounding out the conversation on Purity Culture and homing in on one of the largest forces behind the entire PC movement - shame. It's at the heart of all legalism and has definitely been a defining characteristic of how so many Christians have been taught to look and feel about themselves as they pursue Godly relationships and marriage.  I definitely recommend listening to Purity Culture Part 1 before diving into this new episode. The framework and overview behind PC is described and outlined in-depth there.  Don't forget to subscribe! You can find me on Instagram, @leastlikelycast, and Twitter, @Taytabie.

Purity Culture Part 2

Yikes! It's been awhile since we've been here, but the Least Likely podcast is back! Thank you so much for bearing with me through my break while I took time to move.... I'm so glad to be done with that and back with all of you. This week we're jumping right into the hot and heavy stuff - a two part series on purity culture! If you're anything like me and carry around deep scars from this phenomenon that took over the church over the course of the past 20+ years, I hope the Lord speaks healing, peace, and hope to you through these words.   Don't forget to subscribe!

Purity Culture Part 1

The Least Likely Podcast is hosted by Taylor Bie. Each week Taylor will dig into the deep love the Lord has for us, His children, and how we can better pursue holiness and oneness with our Father in Heaven. This podcast is for the believer and non-believer alike who are curious about love of God with the goal to draw the community of Christians together in pursuit of Christ-centered lives. Hopefully each episode will uplift and inspire you on your daily walk with the Lord, whatever stage of life you may be in right now.  You can connect with Taylor on Instagram, @leastlikelycast or via email, leastlikelycast@gmail.com.
