Ep: 264 Why did an all knowing God create Hell? And do we really have free will?
Her Faith Inspires Podcast
If God is all knowing do we really have free will? A few week's ago, I responded to a claim from a woman who said you cannot have an all knowing, all loving God, and Hell. So many people agreed with her and said if God is all knowing then we cannot have free will and make our own decisions. Like always, I take this debate back to the Bible where I break down the doctrine of free will, Hell, and the reason this woman might be justified in her claim IF and only IF God creates some for Heaven and some for Hell. But does He do that? We'll revisit her reel where she makes this claim and talk about...

Ep 262: What makes someone a hypocrite?
Her Faith Inspires Podcast
One of the main reasons people say they won't go to church is because it's full of hypocrites. But does that mean only Christians can be hypocrites?

Ep: 261 Online relationships and relying on ChatGPT with Josh Pauling and Annie Crawford
Her Faith Inspires Podcast
Social media has given everyone a platform and with the platform comes an identity and autonomy that makes YOU the expert. Not only has this given way to echo chambers and funneling information that keeps opposing ideas out of conversations, it also creates a shallow understanding of meaningful relationships. We talk about this and when you should use ChatGPT, and what to use it for. There's a reason reading, writing, and processing skills are atrophying in our culture and much of it has to do with the reliance on technology. We talk about this and more in this final episode with Josh and...

Ep 255: Four bad reasons Christians say they won't vote
Her Faith Inspires Podcast
Have you heard Christians say we shouldn't get involved in politics this election season? If so, you're not the only one. Shanda has conversations with people on social media who blame Jesus for why we should stay silent on political issues, even to the point of not voting. Claims such as: Jesus didn't overthrow the government, so we shouldn't vote. Or, Christians can't change the culture, so why talk about politics? What should you say if someone shuts down your political opinion with one of these claims? If you are the one making these claims, how should you think about politics as a...
