A Conversation About Women in Ministry Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Today Brody sits down with Brooke Lovingood, a former Snowbird staff member who now works in the youth ministry at FBC of Watkinsville.
Brody and Brooke discussed what the Bible says about the roles of women in marriage and ministry. God has laid out certain roles for a man and a woman, and these roles that are equal but different.
Christianity is the most dignifying religion when it comes to women. The world tells us that a woman’s role is contrary to what Scripture says, but Jesus gives women a platform to minister and to serve within His design.
Let’s strive to be counter-cultural to the world and align our minds with the Bible.

Active Faith is Enduring Faith Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

Christians are not created for inactivity. We’re called to be a people of action, driven by faith.

As Brody wraps up the life of Saul in 1 Samuel 14 with the Snowbird summer staff. The focus of the Old Testament turns to Saul’s son, Jonathan. Jonathan shows us what active faith looks like, while Saul showed us what inactive religion is.

The testing of our faith will produce endurance. You’ve got to look a little bit crazy when you live by faith—it won’t make sense to the world. We are the remnant in a dark and dying generation. So let’s live out our faith and pursue the Lord well.

The Slide of Saul Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

Anxieties and struggles should teach us to depend on the Lord more, not turn away from Him.

As Brody continues to look at Saul’s life with our Snowbird summer staff, he walks through 1 Samuel 13. This is when Saul begins his slide away from the Lord. Every drift starts somewhere, but it will stop at the moment of repentance. Sadly, Saul’s faith eventually weakens through his disobedience.

Christians aren’t called to inactivity. Let’s labor in the work of the Lord, pursue personal holiness, and invest in other people.

The Rise of Saul Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

We can not hang our hope on earthly movements and figureheads.

Believers, we need to fix our eyes on Jesus and labor for what won’t perish. In 1 Samuel 12, the Israelites asked for a king so they could be like the other nations. But, God gave them a kingship that answered to Him. If you walk in Christ, then you’re called to be different from the world.

Today’s episode is a session from Snowbird’s summer staff training. Brody encouraged our summer staff to remain faithful to the Lord in the middle of our current culture. The Israelites wanted to trust in a new form of government, rather than trusting in the promises of Yahweh.

Christian, you are under the covenant care and love of God. He is unchanging in His faithfulness to you, so walk with Jesus.

The local church is God’s plan for advancing the Gospel.

What are you doing now to reach the people in your community? Continuing the conversation on missions abroad and at home, Brody and John Baxter discuss how we can be a resource and share the Gospel with those in our communities.

Believers, let’s live out the Gospel. We need to fight against the dangers of the consumer, or spectator, mentality in our churches. Let’s be people of action who care for the souls and lives around us.

No Sanity Stories | From Deconstruction to Restoration May 16, 2022

Show notes

Don’t be afraid of doubt. Doubt is evidence of faith in the heart of a Christian.
Brody sat down with Brittany Staples, a former Snowbird staff member, who shares her testimony of walking away from the faith and how the Lord brings her back to Him. Brittany wrestled with distrust in the Lord which led to a season of doubt.

During this season, Christian friends continued to speak Scripture into her life. Believers, let’s love people enough to speak the Truth and be consistent in others’ lives. Listen to the beauty of the Lord’s faithfulness throughout her story.

Beyond the Flannelgraph | Abigail as a Type of Christ Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

Abigail is an example of Christ.

In 1 Samuel 25, she confronted David and 400 of his men to spare the lives of the men in her town. In this episode, Brody walks through what we can learn from her act of bravery and how she points us to the Lord. Abigail approaches David in humility and boldness as she asks to let all the guilt of her husband fall onto her.

She displays deep faith that mirrors Christ to us.

What can we learn from her boldness? We need to be a people of faith and action. Abigail’s faith was not passive. Everything she did was aggressive but driven by humility. She was faithful right where she was serving. She shows us what humility looks like.

Let’s learn from her example. Let’s be people of action, bravery, and humility.
