Have you ever identified as a certain personality type? Have you used your personality type to justify your rational for certain actions? Join us as we discuss how to navigate our personality type and God's purpose for our lives.
We know what the pastor has always taught us about widows, but how does that line up with scripture? Paul provides a detailed description for taking care of widows and it may be contrary to what you would expect. How can we realistically apply this knowledge to our current society?
Join Ashlynn and Denise as they reveal some honest thoughts on how the pandemic challenged their walk with Christ and the role of the church in their lives. For better or for worse, it has the potential to change the way we "do church" from now on.
Culture is fast paced and changing, but what about truth? There are so many movements that a Christian has to navigate, just to make it through one day! Whether at a family reunion or in conversation with a stranger, society tells us to embrace everyone's "truth".
Where is the balance between our physical health and our spiritual nature? Health is a topic that is rarely, if ever, talked about in the church setting. If God has so much to say about this impactful area of our lives, then why are we ignoring it?
Numbers, events, and appearance - that's what matters, right? Join us as we contrast our initial reaction of a healthy church to what scripture says about the early church.
Preconceived... that's a big word. How do we know if our beliefs are based on truth or if they are simply preconceived ideas? Join us as we discuss how misinterpreted scripture, well meaning (but wrong) influences, and the culture around us can cause us to have a warped sense of truth.
Why is it that different generations can never see eye to eye? Is it because the younger generation is too foolish to see when they are wrong, or is it because the older generation doesn't understand the culture of the world they live in? Sally Johns joins us in this episode to have this conversation with us and to share her perspective as one from the older generation.
In episode 16, Ashlynn and Denise explore the foreign world of what it's like to be the unchurched kid. When you have grown up in the church culture, it's easy to try to transform people into who YOU are. Levi and LeAnn Bly join us in this episode to help us have a more Christlike view of what it means to be the unchurched kid and how we can better reach them with the gospel.
The phrase "good church kid" has been used for decades to describe an innocent kid that doesn't cause trouble and generally follows the rules. In your experience though, can you honestly say that the way we have treated these kids has encouraged them to pursue a closer relationship with God? Ashlynn and Denise pull from their time of being one of the church kids to reveal some misconceptions that the public, and more specifically the church, have about these young people.
Have you ever found yourself believing that your testimony was too bad or too boring to share? In those moments, we have the opportunity to take a step back and reevaluate what a testimony truly is and why we are commanded to share it. Brandi Warren joins us on this episode and beautifully shares what the word testimony means to her and why we should look deeper into God's design for our story.
Should the motivation for serving God change as a Christian matures in their faith or does is stay constant for all people at all stages of life? This is a question that we have to ask ourselves from time to time when we look and WHY we do what we do. Whether consciously or unconsciously, our motivation greatly impacts the results of our service.
Why is it so hard to leave a place, job, or people? There are so many times in our lives where we are faced with a change that will make us uncomfortable and change the trajectory of our lives. We come up with a million reasons why we can't or won't make a change. but eventually you have to decide to be comfortable or to encounter controversy.
Join Ashlynn and Denise as they explore the topic of Women in Ministry with Kathy Parsons. Ask yourself, can women really have it all? Does that include being able to work in ministry? What does scripture really say about women through the years and their role in spreading the gospel?
Come alongside Ashlynn and Denise as they read a listeners heartbreaking story about their experience with Christians. In this episode, we explore how there is often a drastic divide between our behavior and Christlikeness. Where do we go wrong when we say “Y’all Need Jesus”?
Does the origin of your paycheck determine your effectiveness for God? Episode 8 challenges our views of what church members should do Monday through Friday. Are we called to the same purpose our pastors are, or do we have similar but different roles?
In the past we have talked a lot about love and unity, but are there legitimate biblical reasons why a Christian should separate from another christian? Bryan Samms joins us in this episode to discuss the topic of separation between Christians and churches, and gives us an inside look at how this has impacted his own life.
How is a Christian supposed to determine what style of church that God would be most pleased with? We are presented with an array of options that range from dark smokey stages to pews and stained glass windows. Surely, God would direct His people towards the type of church that best honors Him! Leave your opinions at the door, and challenge your comfort zone.
"I am tired of being so angry all the time." Some situations we face in life cause sprouts of anger to spring up and over time, or almost instantly, cause deep roots of anger and hurt. In Episode 6, All Pain and No Gain: Church Hurt, through a very real conversation, Denise and Ashlynn discuss the unfortunate reality that many times churches and people inside churches can be the overwhelming cause of our pain.
