This week, we tackle one of Glenda's favorite topics and Tanesha's least favorite: Math! Why is math important, and is it biblical? Glenda says yes, Tanesha is more skeptical... We also talk about marriage. What does the bible say about marriage and how can we honor God through it? Stay tuned to the very end to hear all about how Glenda was nearly taken out on her morning run :) Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @JesusPartyPodcastSources: - https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-king-of-every-subject-even-math - 2 Becoming One by Don and Sally Meredith- https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2020/05/27/as-millennials-near-40-theyre-approaching-family-life-differently-than-previous-generations/#:~:text=A%20majority%20of%20Millennials%20are,Silents%20at%20a%20comparable%20age.- https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-story-of-marriage-in-seven-verses- https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/guwahati/The-importance-of-maths-in-everyday-life/articleshow/48323205.cms#:~:text=Mathematics%20makes%20our%20life%20orderly,and%20even%20effective%20communication%20skills.- http://www.trinityfoundation.org/journal.php?id=55- Designed for Joy “What is submission” by Christina Fox- Designed for Joy “Good news for the not yet married” by Marshall Segal - Not yet married by Marshall Segal

We're back! We hope you missed us like we miss you all. (Just a reminder, we are on a two week schedule now.) Today, we talk about the Sabbath and Societal norms.

We also tackle Societal Norms--what really grinds our gears about what "Society" says we should and shouldn't do? Take a listen to hear some biblical truth mixed with some laughter!

This week, we tackle memories and money. Should we dwell on good or bad memories? Why are memories important? Money is certainly talked about a lot in the bible and in our daily lives. How can we be "good stewards" of our money? And of course get sidetracked and go off on a Kanye and Kylie Jenner tangent. But we bring it all around in the end! :) Follow us on Instagram @JesusPartyPodcast Sources The Christian Atheist by Craig Groeschel The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartianhttps://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-value-of-knowing-how-god-saved-youhttps://www.desiringgod.org/articles/make-money-serve-your-joyhttps://www.desiringgod.org/articles/a-letter-to-younger-me-about-moneyhttps://www.desiringgod.org/articles/a-booby-trap-in-the-christian-budgethttps://www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-will-we-remember-in-heavenhttps://www.desiringgod.org/articles/god-gave-you-your-memories
