Show notes

Do you have guilt around the way you are or aren’t in God’s Word? This conversation holds comfort over shame!! Talking about Bible study with young mothers is loaded. We feel we SHOULD do it a certain way.

In this conversation, Hope and I remember together we can free ourselves to delight in God and His Word without lists and boxes.
Join Hope Blanton from @athisfeetstudies and me as we talk about what it means to be spiritually fed during seasonal times of spiritual drought.

How to Plan Your Month Based on Cycle! with Shannon K Evans May 23, 2022

Show notes

Today I'm pulling a girl's only chat interview from the vault. Last fall I interviewed Shannon K Evans. We talk about our period stories, and how we came to understand how our bodies work as women. And how women's bodies reflect the image of God in a unique way!

How the word "helper" for the Holy Spirit is the same word used to describe Eve.

How the blood and water that poured from Christ's side symbolized the new birth we have as believers.

We talk about Theology of the Womb and some of the interesting points the book made. (In hindsight now having read that book, theologically, I come from a different lens than the author of that book, but I also learned a lot from the thoughts presented there too!)

Not all our energy is linear and the ebbs and flows allow us to refocus on the parts of life we want to come back to.

Seeing Culture Through a Gospel Lens with Jen Oshman May 21, 2022

Show notes

Is there a problem culturally that nags at your heart? Something we try to fix and it goes so wrong?

Join Jen Oshman and me as we talk about the ways the world has tried to fix fundamental problems that sin has created. Even these repairs still fall short without the gospel. We talk about how we can embrace our full identities in Christ and heal the brokenness sin has created in our cultures and hearts.

Be sure to pick up Jen's book "Cultural Counterfeits" to continue this conversation.
