The Fringe Podcast
The Fringe Podcast is where raw storytelling meets real-life transformation. Blending the heart of a sermon, the depth of a documentary, and the soul of authentic conversation, this podcast dives headfirst into the stories that matter most—stories of hope, struggle, faith, and unexpected redemption.
Hosted by Patrick and Sarah Davis, founders of The Fringe Church, each episode features thought-provoking interviews with guests from all walks of life—from the overlooked to the extraordinary. Together, they explore the gritty, beautiful intersections of belief, doubt, justice, community, and second chances.
We believe in substance over hype, raw authenticity and vulnerability and that ables are better than fences. Resurrection isn’t just possible—it’s happening, everywhere, all the time.
Whether you're deconstructing, rebuilding, or just searching for something real, The Fringe Podcast invites you to sit down, lean in, and stay curious.

The Fringe Podcast | Episode 13 "Trauma, Motherhood & The Slow Work of God"
She Woke Up a Wife — and Went to Bed a Widow
One phone call. One moment. And everything was gone. Her husband — gone in an instant. No warning. No time to prepare. Just her, three boys, and a grief too heavy to carry.
This isn’t an inspirational story wrapped in a bow. It’s a gut-wrenching, soul-baring account of what it feels like when your world explodes — and God doesn’t stop it. Kristina talks about the night her life shattered, the suffocating silence that followed, and how, somehow, Jesus met her there — not to fix it, but to crawl into the wreckage with her.
If you've ever screamed into the void, begged for answers that never came, or wondered if God really sees you in the dark — this story will wreck you, and maybe help you breathe again.
👣 What do you do when the miracle doesn’t come?
💔 How do you raise three boys while grieving the love of your life?
✝️ Can God really be good when everything hurts like hell?
