Life and Death Through a Gospel Lens - with Dr. Kathryn Butler Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode, Dr. Kathryn Butler (Katie) joins the show to discuss how Christians should view life and death and medical intervention with a gospel-centered perspective. Her book Between Life and Death: A Gospel-Centered Guide to End-of-Life Medical Care is incredibly helpful and insightful. We're grateful for this conversation about modern medical practices, the differences between preserving life and prolonging death, physician-assisted suicide, and what Christians need to know in order to wisely make decisions for themselves and their loved ones.

The Father's Heart for Us - with Abby Hutto Jan 17, 2020

Show notes

We're back for another cycle of episodes and so thrilled to be sharing this episode with you! Abby Hutto joins Bethany to talk about some of the ways God the Father demonstrates His heart for us through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Abby shares about how studying the gospel of John changed how she saw God's intention toward her and awakened her to what her invisible Father is like. Abby's message (and her book God for Us) is poignant and thought-provoking. She and Bethany talk about how God fixes our broken lenses with the truth of His word and how He uses Christian community to help correct our vision so we can truly see what He is like.

The Bible Transforms Teens, Too - with Katherine Forster Oct 27, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I’m talking with college-age student Katherine Forster about her book Transformed by Truth and her passion to help teens know that the Bible transforms them. Katherine shares why teens can’t put off engaging in Scripture until later in life and explains the fallacies in thinking that they’re too young to be changed and shaped by the word of God.
If you have teens, I’d love to welcome them to listen along with you, because I really think Katherine’s encouragement today is for us all. And if you’re not a parent of teens, you’ll still be blessed and challenged to engage in discipling teens in your church and social circles. Let’s get started!

Freedom to Flourish in Christ - with Lydia Brownback Oct 19, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, I’m welcoming back to the podcast, Lydia Brownback to talk about her book, Flourish: How the Love of Christ Frees Us from Self-Focus. This book deals with so many of the shapes that self-focus takes and we discuss a few of them, including self-improvement, self-analysis, and self-condemnation. We also discuss discipleship and community in light of this topic and how we can encourage one another to be freed from focusing on ourselves, rather than Christ and what He’s done for us.
We're so glad Lydia joined the podcast again, and even more excited to welcome her to come speak at our Women Encouraged conference in Western Canada on April 17-18, 2020. Connect with us on Instagram or Facebook to stay up-to-date with the details on that event!
