Bereans Wanted: Five Ways You Can Practice Biblical Discernment Mar 08, 2017

Show notes

While William "Paul" Young's story is compelling, many Christians are struggling with the underlying theological implications of The Shack, and that's good—because we need to be discerning in every area of our lives. Biblical discernment is not optional for the Believer—it is imperative! Join me today as I talk about five ways you can learn to become a Berean, and teach your children to do the same. Listen in!

Bereans Wanted: A Conversation About the Shack Mar 06, 2017

Show notes

As a woman who has struggled square suffering with the goodness of God, The Shack touched my heart. William "Paul" Young did a great job of showing the grace and love of God—His heart for a hurting and lost world. That said, I could never recommend the book or the movie to anyone unless I was prepared to have the conversation I'm having with you today on the podcast. Listen in!

A Vaccination Conversation Feb 27, 2017

Show notes

I've been getting a lot of requests lately to talk about the issue of vaccination. Honestly? I am avoiding you folks :) because all seven of our kids are vaccinated. However! I have dear friends who disagree with me on this issue. One of them is on the podcast with me today. Join me as we talk about why I think that while it's important to talk about things like vaccines, issues like this should never divide friends. Listen in!

Sex, Lies and Motherhood Feb 24, 2017

Show notes

A child’s first lessons about their bodies—everything from their appearance to what God says about human sexuality—come from their parents. The messages we give them early in life have a deep, long-lasting impact on how they will see themselves as adults.
So where do we start? How do we pass on a godly perspective of sexuality and beauty to our kids? As in every other area of life, we start at the starting place: the Bible. We dare not trust human wisdom where these tender topics are concerned.

Dear Church, Jesus Makes You Relevant Feb 22, 2017

Show notes

The modern church is facing a crisis of belief. Do we really believe that the message of the Gospel is enough? Do we really believe that God is big enough to push through the cultural fog and invade the hearts of men and women today? What good is an entertaining church service that fails to entertain the questions that this generation is asking? What good is it if we can’t articulate compassion and truth in a way that clearly addresses the message of the cross? The cross is hope.
…and hope does not disappoint. Hope has a name. It’s Jesus.
The truth of the gospel has not changed. The saving power of a relationship with Jesus is all the relevance we need.
