About this episode

The episode celebrates 10 years of The Debrief Podcast with reflections on past conversations and the importance of transparency in Christian spaces.

Today we’re celebrating a huge milestone — 10 years of The Debrief Podcast— with a very special guest, Stephanie Schafer, one of the original co-hosts from when the show first began. Together, Matthew, Stephanie , and Tammy look back on the very first episode that aired on February 8, 2016, the heart behind starting the podcast, and the conversations that shaped the last decade. In this anniversary episode, we revisit defining moments from the show, reflect on how honest dialogue has impacted real-life faith conversations, and explore why transparency — even when it feels uncomfortable — is still deeply needed in Christian spaces today. From topics the Church once avoided to the ones we can’t ignore anymore, this episode is both a celebration and a look forward to what’s next. 💬 Have a question for a future episode?
