#8 MADE FOR FAITH & SCIENCE | Noemí Durán in M4+
In the eighth episode of the Made for More podcast, Patricija and Joe sit down with biologist Dr. Noemí Durán to explore whether faith and science really need to be in conflict. From giraffes and the complexity of cells to epigenetics and the history of science, they discuss the difference between data and interpretation and how our worldview shapes the questions we ask. Noemí shares why being both a scientist and a Bible-believing Christian is not a contradiction, and how studying nature can deepen our understanding of God.

#7 MADE FOR SELF-WORTH | Helgi Jónsson in M4+
In the seventh episode of the Made for More podcast, Patricija and Joe sit down with psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr. Helgi Jónsson to explore where our sense of worth really comes from. They discuss shame, comparison, the pressure of constantly being measured and the masks of perfection we can even bring into church. Helgi offers a different perspective: your value isn't defined by your achievements or by what others think of you. Your dignity begins simply because you exist.

#6 MADE FOR STEWARDSHIP | Karine Eloidin in M4+
In the sixth episode of the Made for More podcast, Patricija and Joe sit down with pastor and treasurer Karine Eloidin to rethink what stewardship really means. They explore why everything we have is ultimately entrusted to us by God, and why stewardship goes far beyond money to include our time, gifts and care for the planet. Karine challenges us to live less like owners and more like stewards, taking responsibility for everything God has placed in our hands.
