Hear us out...
We love gathering together at UCity every week, but we also recognize what culture has turned church into. In this week's episode, we talk about what church on Sundays has become and our biggest gripes with it, and what we can do to change that. We also had a bit of a surprise ending that made us revisit this episode four months after recording. Join our conversation!

And it feels oh so good! Sunday Dinners is back in 2023 with its original UCity cast, and we're kicking things off with the sex talk. In this first of a two-part episode, we share what we wish someone in the church had actually told us about sex. This episode was recorded/filmed on a retreat to Beech Mountain, NC, so we also give a little insight into what kind of driver Maria is!
