Why does living the Christian life feel so uncomfortable—and even polarising—in today’s culture? In this episode, Stina and Padre explore the growing tension between a world that prioritises comfort, personal truth, and self-definition, and a faith that calls us to objective truth, transformation, and holiness. They unpack why Christianity can feel confronting, how to respond to cultural polarisation with both truth and charity, and why discomfort might actually be a sign of growth—not something to avoid.
