Welcome to Peace on the Doorstep, where we explore the messy journey of faith without the historical, hateful, or intolerant b******t. I’m your host, Sarah Polk, a burned-out corporate mom sharing my unfiltered path to Christianity. In this episode, I take you back to my beginnings in England, where the Church of England shaped my worldview, even if my family wasn’t particularly religious.
My faith journey has been anything but straightforward, filled with twists and turns. Like many, I’ve navigated doubt and curiosity, seeking a connection to something greater than myself. When I moved to the U.S., I found my home in the Episcopal Church, which beautifully balances tradition and reason, inviting questions rather than demanding answers.
Join me as I reflect on how my spiritual exploration has intertwined with life’s chaos—through a wild mix of experiences, from Sunday school to the realities of adulthood, including a few detours along the way. Let’s dive into the search for understanding, embracing the conversations that bring us closer to God and to ourselves.

Yes, there will be some swearing. I start each episode with “b******t” as a heads-up, and I might swear in person or even during prayers. This podcast reflects the real me.
I’m still exploring my faith, and my questions stem from curiosity. I gather insights from various sources—books, articles, podcasts, conversations with priests, and tech tools. I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I encourage you to seek your own truth. I embrace technology to enhance this process because I’m a tech nerd at heart!
