Most heresy comes from getting Christ's incarnation WRONG! So, let's look to Scripture so we get this RIGHT. In this episode, Bev and Delaney unpack what Scripture says about Christ's incarnation. The incarnation describes Christ taking on human flesh by adding a human nature to his already divine nature. Scripture is clear that Jesus is fully God and fully man, he lacks nothing is his humanity and nothing in his divinity. The incarnation is incredibly important for Christians to understand because Christ's incarnation is the essence of the gospel.
Continuing to study the theme "UNOFFENDABLE," Bev and Delaney talk about how forgiveness fits with being "unoffendable."

Joseph experienced tremendous hurt at the hands of his family, yet God providentially used Joseph's pain to save many. In this episode, Bev and Delaney highlight some of the truths from Joseph, how we forgive and how we reconcile with others.
What separates an "ungodly" Christian from a godly Christian? Inner discipline!

In this episode, Delaney walks through what the Bible says about how to order your inner life so you can be the godly Christian woman that God intends for you to be.
