Biblical theology traces God’s story; systematic theology gathers God’s truths. But what happens when we separate them, give one too much weight, or get them in the wrong order? In this episode, Tory and Mary unpack how these should shape our holistic theology, our discipleship, and our worship, and why ordering them rightly matters.If you’d like a written companion to this episode, check out our article, “Understanding the Bible: A Simple Guide to Biblical & Systematic Theology.”Hosted on Ausha.

Why is forgiveness so hard, and does it really matter?

Confession is more than admitting guilt—it’s agreeing with God, its praise, believe it or not, and stepping into freedom. In this episode, Tory and Mary unpack the weight of sin, the biblical meaning and beauty of confession, and how this grace-filled practice helps restore what sin has broken. Learn what it means to confess up to God, down to those we’ve wronged, and across to trusted believers—and discover how confession becomes the very place God’s mercy meets our need.Hosted on Ausha.

As a church, we’ve covered 1 Corinthians 11:33b-40 and 14:2-16 and see that neither passage addresses women in leadership. So where in Scripture is this topic addressed?

When we engage in discovering, identifying, and humbly submitting the operation of the gifts to the Lord we have greater intimacy with Him. We receive more of Jesus and we rightly employ these gifts in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God (1 Peter 4:10).

How do we go about understanding and applying passages about parapets in Deuteronomy and women being ceremonially unclean due to menstrual cycles in Leviticus 15? Do these still apply to us today?

Proverbs 18:21 tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. James 3 warns us that it can set a forest on fire, and Jesus tells us we will give an account for every word spoken.

As Christians, we believe that the bible is without a doubt absolute truth. However, the interpretations we make of the text lead us at times to differing theological conclusions, such as Calvinism vs. Arminianism or even women's leadership roles within the church. So how do we wrestle with different theological views, many of which occur within our own body? How do we recognize which theological issues are worth dying for? Which ones are worth leaving a church for? Is there any that are okay just to debate? Scripture puts an extremely high emphasis on unity. How do we then love one another with different theological views? Join Tory and Mary as we discuss in this season's finale. Survey Link:https://thewell.questionpro.com/t/AYP1MZ39zmHosted on Ausha.
