Strong Christian Female

In this episode we dive deeper into the section of "The Truth About Lies" dealing with  the (rarely discussed) 25% of all Millennial and Gen Z generations.   Did you know that 25% of all Millennial and Gen Z persons were aborted?  More importantly, do you think God has an opinion on that? If so, as Christians, what are we to do? This episode is an honest look at calling out the abortion...

This is our first episode kicking off a new format of Strong, Christian, Female. (We read, then discuss).  This episode is all about the danger of just one lie.  What can one lie do to a person, a relationship, a nation? What power is there in "just one lie"?   We all know that Satan is the father of lies... his game is to destroy our world with lies by corrupting our souls. Many do not...

If you've ever had a week's worth of conversations about the nothing of more substance than the weather, you've experienced the art of talking about nothing.  Sometimes this is understandable when you're in a room of strangers. Other times, this becomes a life pattern and we never step out and say (or do) things that can lead to real spiritual impact. In today's podcast, w...

In this episode, we talk about the amazing story of four Hebrew boys (to men) who shifted culture by living up to their name.  This deeper dive into the lives of Daniel and his three closest friends will shift your perspective and cause you to take time to ponder the mantel on your own life. One of deep rooted-ness and the ability to shift culture by knowing your place in God's kingdom. This...

In this episode we dive back into the idea of the cultural definition of "Christian" versus what the Bible says we should do in order to follow Christ. If you haven't listened to the part one, click back and give it a listen first to have more context of where we are and what we are addressing. Also, if you have questions, prayer requests, or just want to be part of a community, fin...

When you hear the word "Christian", what do you think? Many think it means going to church, reading the Bible (sometimes) and celebrating Easter and Christmas. Others think it means a devoted life to Jesus. Still others think of it as more of a cultural identity... the general "niceties" of Christian-y things. The frustrating thing is... all of these definitions could be true....

Well, no one can say the world isn't full of opinions. But, when opinions are presented as fact OR conjecture is hailed as truth, you can have a world of hurt on your hands. In the church today, we have a LOT of messages which are based in half-truths and opinions. Many people don't even know it... some are completely unaware that entire movements to normalize sin and other behaviors are...

This is a special, rather impromptu episode dealing with the fragility of our lives and the urgency or knowing our savior and loving others. We are not promised tomorrow. Let us no longer live for ourselves. Listen as Charity honestly explains how recent news has struck her to remember that we are but vapors and Christ calls us to seek the greatest of calls - to love others and lay down our lives...

Let's finish this conversation!  What is God calling us to as Christians? What sin have we allowed to cloud our walk with Him?  And what happens when sin becomes our identity.... For more content (or to put a face to a voice), check out our YouTube channel!

The idea of "identity" is EVERYONE. From our career choices to the food we eat, our weight to our gender. Our culture is saturated with labels, and identifiers that are falsely telling us who we are as as women and as Christians. But what happens when we turn to the culture to define us? What happens then their "bar" of expectation is the bar we set for our lives? What does God...

We need to pray. Always, but, especially now. Our country is in a very tense position in history. Please pray with us and seek God for truth, wisdom, and repentance for our leaders, ourselves, and our representatives.

We continue our conversation about recovery in the church with our special guest, Melinda Daniels.  Having survived childhood trauma herself, Melinda spent many years navigating anxiety, depression, and over-eating without knowing why she was suffering or where the root of the issue was coming from. Through counseling and her passionate relationship with Jesus she was able to overcome her trauma a...

Special guest alert!   Okay, so, let's be frank... we have all seen or experienced someone who is healing emotionally. It can be messy and we, as the church, need to know how to deal with it. This takes perspective and honesty. Which is exactly what our guest today offers. This episode is with the fabulous Melinda Daniels.  Having overcome childhood trauma and walking through her experiences...

Have you ever thought about how good you are? I mean, compared to the "other people" in the world right now, it's pretty good to seem good. But... what does Christ say about God's standard of goodness? What are we called as Christians to be (rather than what the world things we are called to be)? Being good is more than just doing nice things. It's not "easy" and...

In this episode, we continue in our quest for Godly wisdom by learning about two more "people" who have encountered Lady Wisdom: the scoffer and the wise son.  By learning more about who the Bible says will prevail in wisdom, we can learn how to find wisdom ourselves. We will also see how our current culture is full of people not seeking God's wisdom, but instead they seek to follow...

Have you ever wanted to know more about what wisdom really is? Have you ever noticed that human nature as talked about in the Bible is the same today? Or... have you never really noticed? The truth is, the Bible is full of wisdom. God's wisdom. And one of the greatest lessons we can learn for ourselves is how to be wise ourselves. In this episode, inspired by a sermon for Dr. Voddie Baucham,...

We continue our conversation about how to love even when it's hard.  In addition, our guest host also answers some honest questions about how the Church can help support and love both foster families and foster kids better.   We want to say that all foster parents, no matter their faith, deserve support from the church. We need to love them as they love the "orphan". There are many,...

Today we hear from a mother who adopted a boy who experienced intense abuse when in his home. The love of his family and the love of the King have brought immense healing to his heart, but, not without a lot of patience, anger, frustration, confusion and raw life. In this episode we hear about experiences some children go through and what many foster and adopted parents face as they learn to love...

In this episode we dive into NOT being silent.   Although the Bible talks about times of silence and being wise with your words (i.e. no "pearls before swine" on social media), there is far more talk in the word of God about speaking up.  So, when do you know WHEN to speak up?  Whether in words of love and encouragement or words of love and accountability, there is no follower of Christ...

Well, we're baaaaaaack!  With another episode where we dive into the Bible, our culture, and the lies that we as Christians must break off our lives.  The key issue of seeking comfort is a huge hindrance in the American church today. And, in this season of "discomfort" God is calling His church to swim upstream with Him - against the cultural lies we are surrounded by. Yet, we are c...

In this part two part podcast, we talk about identity in Christ alone. What does the Bible say about identity and how Christians are to act and honor God? Knowing what Christ calls us to be is the single weapon every Christian needs in defeating the lies that swirl in our world and in our churches today. Without knowing this, it is easy to get swayed by current ideologies thinking they are "n...

Our society no longer values human life in the way God intended. What does it mean to be created "in His image"? How does that reality establish our value?  As Christians, are we allowing the world to tell us what title we deserve, what group to belong to, how to label ourselves, or how much to value ourselves and those around us?   We are not called to label our lives the way the world...

This is the second part of "What Does God Say About Racism". We are featuring the "Life Has Purpose" podcast from the Radiance Foundation with Ryan and Bethany Bomberger.  Listen in and know, God is a unifying God of love. Not a divisive God of hate and fear-mongering. Be the light in the world we need through Christ's love. Mourn with those who mourn. Learn to forgive. Lo...
