In this episode, we explore what it means to approach hard questions and challenging dynamics with humble curiosity, grace, and boldness. From recognizing our own discomfort to understanding the weight of being a bystander, we reflect on how to live like Christ—not just in gentleness, but also in courage and conviction. What does it look like to flip tables like Jesus did, not in anger, but with intention and righteousness? And how do we make room for obedience in others, even when we disagree?
Our guest today is Summer Hoover. Summer is a homeschooling mom of two and has been married to her first love for twenty years. Being a military wife took her on many adventures, teaching her resilience, flexibility, and the importance of building a strong family foundation wherever life leads. Now settled, she pours her heart into raising and educating her children, and creating a home filled with faith and laughter. She’s passionate about truth, discipleship, and taking every idea and putting it up to the light of Scripture.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
