Ep 299: She Believed HE Could: Breaking Free from Self-Reliance and Embracing Biblical Empowerment with Becky BeresfordIn a culture that constantly tells women to “believe in yourself,” how do we discern the difference between cultural empowerment and true biblical strength? Author Becky Beresford joins me to talk about her powerful new book, She Believed HE Could, So She Did.

Ep 297: Is Discernment a Spiritual Gift—or a Christian Responsibility?In today’s episode, we’re digging into spiritual discernment. Everyone practices discernment daily—what to wear, what to eat, who to trust—but spiritual discernment is something deeper. It’s not just a good habit—it’s a biblical command. So what is the gift of discernment, and does that mean only some Christians are expected to use it? Or is spiritual discernment something we’re all called to walk in? I’ll break down the three areas where every Christian must exercise discernment: Truth vs. error Good vs. evil Sin vs. not sin If you've ever wondered how to sharpen your spiritual radar in a culture full of confusion, this episode is for you!

Together, they examine: What contemplative prayer is—and how it differs from biblical prayer Why terms like “centering,” “silence,” and “stillness” aren’t always as innocent as they sound How contemplative practices blur the lines between Christianity and Eastern mysticism Why these ideas are especially popular in women’s ministries and spiritual formation groups What to do when a practice “feels spiritual” but doesn’t align with Scripture Whether you’ve encountered these teachings or are just beginning to notice them, this episode will equip you to stand firm in biblical truth.

We’ll look at: The difference between a heretic and a false teacher Biblical markers that identify false teachers (with insights from Titus) How to respond when Christians publicly call others out Disagreement isn’t always heresy—and discernment isn’t the same as division.

Ep 293 Things I Didn’t Understand About Singleness Until Marriage: To The Single LadiesDoes biblical womanhood only apply to wives and moms? Not even close. In this episode, Shanda speaks directly to single women and unpacks what it means to live out biblical womanhood right now—before the wedding ring, the house, or the kids. She discusses why your identity is already rooted in Christ, not in your relationship status, and why the standards you set for dating and the kind of man you’re drawn to matter more than you think. Shanda also walks through the three ways we learn life’s lessons—by instruction, experience, or the hard way—and encourages you to pursue wisdom now so you don’t pay the price later.

We dive into what true racial reconciliation looks like from a biblical worldview—and why the church must reject secular ideologies like Critical Race Theory in favor of gospel-centered truth. Monique and Krista share how their friendship began and how it laid the foundation for their ministry partnership. Monique unpacks her journey out of the framework of social justice ideology, while Krista brings clarity to the theological dangers of redefining justice, oppression, and reconciliation through a cultural lens. Together, we explore why sound doctrine is essential for discerning truth from error—and how unity in the body of Christ must be grounded in Scripture, not shaped by the shifting winds of culture.

Ep 288 - God’s Chosen: Messianic Prophecy, Antisemitism, and the Identity of Jesus with David BricknerIn a time of rising global antisemitism and unrest, how do we make sense of the tension surrounding Israel, identity, and the Messiah? In this episode, we unpack the spiritual and prophetic threads woven throughout Scripture—many of which point unmistakably to Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. David Brickner shares how he came to believe in Jesus, why even His earliest followers struggled to understand His mission, and why the human condition can't be fixed with a "do-over." We explore why God’s ways often clash with human preferences, the deep reluctance some Jewish people feel about being called God's chosen, and the profound prophecies—like Isaiah 53—that reveal a divine plan stretching back to the beginning of time. From the parallels between Moses and Jesus to the hope found in God’s new covenant, this episode will challenge, encourage, and equip you with a deeper understanding of God’s heart for His people and His redemptive mission through Christ.

Ep 287: Who’s the Church Really Serving? Why the Mission of the Church Goes Beyond Just Saving the LostYou’ve probably heard it before—“The church is a hospital for the sick.” But is that really what the Bible teaches about the purpose of the Church? In this episode, we dive into this popular phrase to ask some hard but necessary questions: Is the church primarily for the unsaved? Should believers take a backseat while the spiritually sick are treated? Or has our understanding of the Church’s mission been shaped more by culture than by Scripture? Listen in as we unpack the biblical role of the Church, how it’s meant to serve both the lost and the found, and why reducing it to just a spiritual hospital misses the bigger picture of discipleship, growth, and maturity in Christ. Whether you’re a church leader, a new believer, or someone wrestling with your role in the Church, this episode will help you rethink and realign with God's design for His people.

Ep 283: Last Days, Many Antichrists: What You Need to KnowIn today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that stopped me in my tracks during my study of 1 John: "Many antichrists have come." What does that even mean? And how does it connect to the Antichrist we hear about in end-times prophecy? Here’s what we’re unpacking: What does the term “antichrist” actually mean?

Ep 282: Murder, Sin, and Redemption: Exploring Identity and God’s Design Through Case Files with Jimmy and J Warner WallaceIn this episode, we dive into Case Files: Murder and Meaning, a gripping graphic novel created by real-life detectives and Christian apologists behind Cold-Case Christianity. The story follows Detective Michael “Murph” Murphy as he investigates a chilling series of murders in Los Angeles County, racing against time to stop a killer before they strike again. But Case Files is more than just murder and mystery—it’s a deep exploration of the value of human life and the brokenness of sin. Through the dark realities of crime, it answers profound worldview questions about identity, purpose, and our need for redemption. We discuss how the ugliness of sin, seen through these fictional yet realistic cases, reveals the beauty of God’s design and why every human life matters. Join us as we unpack how graphic novels like Case Files can creatively point readers to the truth of the Gospel—and why the pursuit of justice and redemption is something written on all our hearts.

Ep 281: Reclaiming the Rainbow: Understanding God’s Promises through the Noahic CovenantHow do you recognize God’s promises in your life? Unlike many Old Testament covenants, the Noahic Covenant wasn’t conditional—it was an unbreakable promise from God, sealed with the sign of the rainbow. That symbol wasn’t just a pretty after-storm moment; it was—and still is—a reminder that what God promises, He will fulfill. In this episode, we break down how to identify God’s promises in Scripture and your everyday life. We also tackle the history of the rainbow, its connection to the LGBT+ movement, and why reclaiming its original, God-given meaning is more important than ever.

Ep 278: The rise in Christian persecution. Now what?According to Open Doors, 1 in 7 Christians around the world were persecuted for their faith in 2024. Statistics show Christian persecution is on the rise. Although Jesus warned us the world would hate us because it hates Him, does that mean our response to persecution should be passive?

Ep 274: Who's really discipling the church? with Ricky ArnelJust because your kid is sitting in church every Sunday doesn't mean your kid is becoming a follower of Christ. Many parents assume their engaged and involved teen is sold out for Jesus, only to realize after the first semester of college that assuming he followed Jesus wasn't evidence enough. Ricky, a youth pastor and ministry leader, is on the show to talk about the challenges of discipling students in the 21st century. He shares the most prominent influences competing for the minds of our youth and what the church can do to change it.
