The Carrie On Podcast w/Carrie Lloyd

Building Cases

‘Building Cases’ - In this episode, Carrie looks at how quickly we can build cases and the detrimental damage it can cause for an individual. She challenges those in authority as much as those in the pews, for authority can easily lose accountability, knowing those with the power should be fighting for the vulnerable. How many times have we all mistaken a story, and run with it, without doing our research? 

Gaslit

‘Given the current climate of the church and church hurts, Carrie tackles the challenges the concerns of gas lighting behaviour amidst the church. Whether people are wishing to skip over the problem straight to the fix-it valve, or refusing a culture of feedback, we are beginning to see the church be recalibrated into a different space. How do we avoid gas lighting those who came to help build a church in the first place, and how do we avoid the pitfalls of hierarchy? It isn’t cancel culture. It isn’t refusal to attend at all. The solution is within our reach.’

Embrace Your Gethsemanes

Carrie discusses the importance of facing difficult times. Jesus' demonstration of processing pain in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion became a recorded example of how we take the toughest questions to God. This was recorded at Magdalene Hope's annual women's conference in Bakersfield, California, in October 2023. 

Remove Your Cloak

Carrie looks into the current era of discussing our trauma, how we can build entire identities on overcoming. From opinion to cancel culture, are we helping ourselves when it comes to our past? Or are we hindering our future by gaining validation on the stories of victory? In this honest episode, she challenges some of the issues of social media, content creation, and why focusing on what we overcame could be holding us back. 

The Bitter Pill

Carrie approaches the toxic increase of bitterness in society. What are the signs of someone functioning in bitterness and how can we avoid it ourselves?

Fostering

Carrie shares her journey of qualifying to be a single foster parent! She walks through the seasons of life that led her here, the urgent need for society and the church to participate, as well the honest fears she's faced and what's helped her move forward.

Shame and the Church

Carrie explores whether the church helps or hinders shame for its devoted audience. Has the church created more shame than it's helped to remove? In an honest episode, she shares her own insights through the journey of shame in the church, and steps to overcome it.

'Women Tell All', a three-part series: Why Are They Still Single? (Changing the Narrative)

Carrie talks to her single girl friends Kat Harris (author of Sexless in the City) and Kait Warman (author of Thank You For Rejecting Me). In this three-part series, each available on their own podcast shows, the women tell all in the world of dating in this day and age. Kat's episode explores whether she should marry a Christian and the challenges around the ratio of single men to women in the church, and Kait's episode discusses dating with an abundance mindset. On this episode, Carrie responds to the challenging question, "Why are they still single?"

Deconstruction

Carrie shares her thoughts on deconstruction, drawing from her own experience in and out of faith and atheism. She explains the four stages of spiritual development, religion vs mysticism, and the power of loving others amidst their questions.

Failure (Part 2)

(Part 2) Carrie joins Bryant Ellis, entrepreneur, founder of The Adventure Challenge, and host of ‘The Fail Journal’ podcast to discuss his thoughts on failure and success. From awkward auditions to experiences no one wants to repeat, Bryant gives us permission to get it wrong, and wrong again, until we find the end of ourselves and become free from the ‘must-have/must-do’ culture of our time.
