S2E10: Helping You Feel Closer To God Today with Dr. Josh Morgan Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

In this episdoe of Theologcailyl Fashioned, we're joined by Dr. Josh Morgan to explore how spiritual disciplines help us grow closer to God - not as a checklist of tasks, but as intentional practices that shape and position our hearts for transformation. Together, we unpack the beauty and purpose behind disciplines like prayer, Scripture, and silence and how they fashion us into people who are continurally being renewed by Christ.

This conversation is an invitation to deeper formation and a reminder that spiritual growth is less about striving and more about surrender.

S2E9: A Holistic Approach to Biblical Modesty Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Theologically Fashioned, we take a thoughtful look at the concept of biblical modesty. We explore how modesty has been taught in the church - often reduced to a set of rules focused on women's bodies - and how we can reclaim a more holistic, grace-filled understanding rooted in Scripture.

You'll hear about the lasting effects of purity culture, the difference between shame-based teaching and Christ-centered modesty, and how to practically apply a biblical view of modesty in everyday life. Whether you're healing from past messages or simply seeking clarity, this episode offers truth, compassion, and hope.

S2E6: Rest Assured, What The Creation Story was Intended To Reveal About God Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Theologically Fashioned, I talk with author and Bible teacher, Rachel Booth Smith about her book Rest Assured, What the Creation Story was Intended to Reveal About Trusting God. This is not a conversation about science. Instead, Rachel asks us to set that aside and become "holy eavesdroppers" as we listen to the creation narrative of Genesis chapter One as an Ancient Near Eastern person would have. Some parts would have been highly offense, while other parts would make ears perk up or hearts lean in.

Rachel is full of God's wisdom and a joy to learn from. Her book and additional resources are linked below.

S2E4: What Does It Mean to Worship with Lindsay May Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

In this episode of Theologically Fashioned, we dive deep into the essence of worship. What does it mean to truly worship, and how does our understanding of God, culture, and context shape our worship? Is worship simply about singing songs, praying, or attending service, or is it deeper than that? And, in all this, does God have to accept our worship? What if our heart is in the right place?

Lindsay and I explore biblical examples of worship as we examine questions of acceptance, sincerity, and what it truly means to live a life of worship. Whether you're a long time believer or just exploring the Christian faith, join us as we unpack the heart of worship and it's powerful role in our journey with God.
