Love in a time of War | Meet Elizabeth Giles 42:57

1M ago42:57

42:57

Once upon a time… and the fairytale ended there. But God wrote a story that was better than any fable, because every trial, heartache, and lament, pointed Elizabeth to Christ and his glory, teaching her endurance, producing in her a spiritual strength, the kind that knocks you on your knees in prayer. As His ways are not our ways, nor His thoughts …

Walkies Era Tour Tickets | Fools 33:51

2M ago33:51

33:51

Episode 17: Fools hate God. Calling one a fool is truly a cutting insult. They do not love him, know him, or seek to understand. Yet, even faithful believers can act foolishly. What’s the antidote to being a fool? Getting wisdom. Wisdom is biblical knowledge in action. It’s not enough to know about the Lord, if we don’t put that knowledge into acti…

Murd-ify Sin | Trials 35:14

2M ago35:14

35:14

Tornados, cannibalism, human trafficking: big trials demand a big response. Sometimes our response is to glorify God. Often our response is anger, blame, and penance. With trials like these, we sometimes stray to questioning the goodness of God. Is God good? Is God faithful? Is God powerful? Is there sin that needs to be murdered? Sin that needs to…

Don't be a Jezebel | The role of women 34:57

3M ago34:57

34:57

The extreme feminist and the extreme homemaker. Both styles are trending on social media. One makes men subjective to women, erasing as many roles of men as possible. The other - the extreme homemaker, also called a “trad wife” - centers around creating an impossibly perfect, unrealistic aesthetic, marking women who are unable to achieve this farce…

Power in a pantsuit | The role of women 36:06

3M ago36:06

36:06

Women empowerment is a trending theme in the world right now, and as women ourselves, we have a few thoughts on the matter. We filtered the idea of "Female Empowerment" through a biblical lens, and... surprise, surprise! Even if a woman wears a pantsuit, empowerment via our gender is never something we’re told to strive for. But Eve just wanted to …

This is the Daily Dish | Gossip and Slander 35:06

4M ago35:06

35:06

The hip new word for gossip is "tea" (as in "spill the tea!") and Proverbs says gossip goes down like choice morsels. Coincidence? I think not! The fact is, gossip and slander go deep into our being, defiling our hearts and minds. Paul's greatest desire was for believers to grow in Christlikeness and in the unity of the church. Gossip and slander d…

The tongue. Life or death is in the power of the tongue. It dishoners or builds up and greatly affects those around us. Our hearts are known by what comes out of our mouths. When anger or anxiety are are present in our heart, our tongues will make it know. When unrepentant sin has taken told, our tongues will make it known. Criticicizing, belittlin…

Romance shmomance. It’s the month of love, or so declared the marketing gurus of way back whenever. So we’re looking at romance through the Biblical lens of Psalm 118:1-4. God's hesed love is merciful, given freely, even when we are in the most pathetic state. Way better than a box of chocolates - it never runs out and you ALWAYS know what you’re g…

My Bible & bulletin save my seat | Belonging 31:49

5M ago31:49

31:49

Having a Sunday spot is not enough to make us feel like we belong. In our culture, we look to sameness in activities, hobbies, sports, etc but we get disappointed when it doesn’t bring about the sense of connection we really crave. That’s because belonging starts and ends with the gospel. God made us belong to him, when he drew us to himself, givin…

How many Bible trivia questions do you have to get right before you’re qualified to disciple another? It all depends on what your goal is.

If we are all called TO disciple OTHERS, then we all must be called to BE discipled OURSELVES. Is that really called a disciplee?
