In this episode, our host Kyia Mochitani talks about being the only Christian in the room and it isn't always easy. Kyia opens up about the real tension of standing firm in your faith when everyone else is going in a different direction. We talk about saying no to parties, resisting gossip, and choosing purity—even when it costs you popularity, friendships, or inclusion. From dealing with FOMO, to finding your identity in Christ—not culture—we'll walk through practical, biblical encouragement for staying grounded when you feel alone in your faith. You'll hear how to respond when people give you a hard time, how to stay strong in your convictions, and why it's so worth it in the long run. Whether you're in high school, college, or just navigating hard spaces—you're not alone. You were never meant to blend in. You were meant to shine.

From navigating long-distance to walking through seasons of grief and growth, they open up about the small moments that built a deep, lasting connection.
