Hippie Christian Who Cares...

1 John is the basis of this episode. Krissy Bakke the hippie Christian recorded not just once but twice, cause when you love your listeners you try to shout them out and she forgot the first time. Listen and hear how we love cause God loves. It's short and while it is one perspective, no doubt you will come away with something good.

Often people are confused, curious and even a little freaked out by the Holy Spirit. Well, let this episode shed some light on the part of our God that has been there from the beginning and will be with us through our earthly end and follow us right into eternity. Good stuff. You for sure will want to further your investigation after listening!

Starting off June with some talk of pride, struggling with sin, weakness, and of course, Jesus. Not everyone will agree with what Krissy Bakke, the hippie Christian has to say. That's okay. As Christians we must be mindful of our pride or exaggerated confidence in thinking that we are right and others are wrong if they don't believe like us. Krissy shares her struggles and takes a good look at what pride means and how God's grace is sufficient. ALL are welcome to listen.

This episode is for everyone who needs to talk to God. And let's be honest, we all NEED to talk to someone. Why not talk to the God who created us. Prayer is powerful and effective. Listen to a story that we all can relate to and how prayer was effective. It may even stick in your head all day after listening. So much good stuff that one 25+ minute session can't even scrape the surface. So feel free to "microfry" more into prayer. That's the "sciencey" word Krissy Bakke the hippie Christian was trying to come up with. Enjoy and pray!

This is a better late than never episode with a whole lot of good stuff packed into a tiny bit of time. For less than 15 minutes of your time you can get the 411 on faith. That's right, it's a mustard seed of information for you to grow into a great big tree. Sorry I was late. Enjoy!

This episode is all about Jesus. As believers sometimes we don't always introduce Jesus appropriately. We take for granted what we know and assume everyone knows the basics. In this episode, Krissy Bakke, the hippie Christian tells how she breaks it down to show others who Jesus is. Honestly, Jesus is our friend and introducing him that way is a great start. Dig in for more fun stuff about our friend, Jesus.

Prayer is necessary. This episode has a short message minus the parts Krissy Bakke the hippie Christian rambles on. It's a great reminder to pray like Jesus. There's a bit of homework for you if you are up to the task. If not, listen anyways.

Your bucket is empty and your faith and hope are diminished. Whether you have known Jesus all your life or don't know him. Our worlds are rocked by so many things that cause us to feel like a pile of dry bones. Krissy Bakke, the hippie Christian talks through how with the help of the Holy Spirit new life is breathed into you. Next thing you know, the foot bone is connected to the ankle bone. The ankle bone is connected to the leg bone and on and on.... Listen and get reconnected to hope.

Lots of preparation for Easter, a big celebration but do we really talk about the Risen Lord Jesus and the 40 days he spent on earth after raising from the dead? Well, Krissy Bakke the hippie Christian wants you to join her for this very discussion. It's good stuff and food for thought. Cause did you know it's recorded that Jesus ate often in this time. Listen and learn.

Jesus is the REAL MVP and Holy Week is a ton like the week of the Superbowl. You get the whole playoff action and on Sunday, Team Jesus wins. This is one crazy way of talking about Easter, so read the gospels to get the full account. But if you want to have some fun and cheer on the Greatest Of All Time, listen. Jesus takes it all on for us and his victory is ours. He is risen. He is risen indeed, Allelulia!

The final Wednesday in the totally made up series called Smash Wednesdays. This week we celebrate people who serve us like veterans. Thus the name MASH Wednesday like the sitcom that was about the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. Jesus came to serve and showed his disciples in a unique way before he died on the cross. Listen and think about how you can serve others and thank those who serve you.

Smash Wednesdays, the unusual way of going through Lent continues this week with Head Crash Wednesday. Krissy Bakke, the self titled hippie Christian talks about diving in head first into the Bible and gives some suggestions and talks about the Helper to guide you and help you comprehend it all. This is another short, but worthy episode.

Celebrate Smash Wednesdays with us during the 2025 Lenten season. It's a very non traditional totally made up way to ponder the passion of Jesus Christ. Join Krissy Bakke, the hippie Christian as we have had Door Dash Wednesday, Trash Wednesday and this week is Backslash Wednesday. Turns out God had a whole different idea than when the list was created. This episode is short but packed with several ways in which Jesus much like a backslash on the computer redirects and commands us to love God and love people. Listen and you will even have time to go back and catch up on the other SMASH Wednesdays!

You may know Philemon as a book of the Bible. True, but Philemon is an actual human.

Weird title for this episode and a story that isn't often in a sermon. In fact, when the story is talked about the emphasis is usually on the sons of Jacob. Well, listen from Krissy Bakke, the hippie Christian's point of view. She is not saying she is right or trying to change anything. It's important for everyone to read the Bible and hear how God speaks to you. God was with Dinah. Hear her story and know he calls your name too.

Hippie Christian, Krissy Bakke is starting a series on people in the Bible you may not know. Meet Shiphrah and Puah, the two women who chose God over Pharoah.
