A Word Fitly Spoken

We all have those petty little annoyances that make us crazy. So today, we’re talking about some of our pet peeves related to the holidays: things Christians, churches, ministries - or even family and friends - do that get on our last nerve. This episode isn’t a gripe session, but a glory session. We want to talk about what’s wrong and how to make it right, biblically, so we can glorify God even w...

Do you have a theology that includes thanksgiving all year long? Even in the worst circumstances or the direst of situations? God wants His people to be thankful to Him, not just because He deserves our thanks, but because it is good for us to be thankful. It helps us fix our eyes on all He has done for us - from the greatest gift of all, giving His precious Son to save us from our sins. Michelle...

Welcome to part 2 of Beautiful Biblical Boundaries! In part 1, we went over the biblical principles of boundaries in relationships and gave some general principles for why Christians might establish some boundaries in our relationships and how to do that, biblically. And today, in part 2, we’re going to “put some meat on the bones” by answering some of your specific questions about boundaries in y...

Today, we’re tackling a topic that several listeners have asked us to address: biblical boundaries in our relationships. Do “turning the other cheek” and forgiving others “seventy times seven” mean that Christians must subject ourselves to any and all undesirable behavior from family, friends, co-workers, and others? Let’s see what the Bible says about boundaries. Transcripts are available at our...

It's another episode of The Pew! Not The View, The Pew! All of the joy, none of the Behar. It’s our view from the church pew on some important issues in evangelicalism. There’s a lot happening out there in the visible church, and we’ve got some interesting stories coming your way today! That’s why we do The Pew, so we can grab some of those headlines we’re seeing - oftentimes UNbiblical headlines...

In this episode, we’re covering a rather odd topic that maybe you’ve never heard about before: so-called “Christian” witches. What in the world is this, and is there any stretch of the mind - and of Scripture - by which this might be biblical? Well - spoiler alert, everyone - no, it most definitely is not. But we do see some similarities between "Christian" witchery and the NAR. Resources: https:/...

Welcome to another Potluck episode of A Word Fitly Spoken!

What role does the Bible play in your life, and in mine? Today, we want to zero in on our overall relationship to Scripture. Scripture is our authority in life. We don't live our lives by our feelings, opinions, or pragmatism. Everything we think, believe, feel, say, and do is to align with Scripture, submit to Scripture, and come under the authority of Scripture. Resources and Show Notes:   https...

John MacArthur. Charlie Kirk. Voddie Baucham... and so many more. We may not have known them personally, but we feel that a light to the world has been extinguished, and the world is a little bit darker now that we’ve lost them. How do we deal with the grief and mourning we feel even after the loss of people we only knew from afar? Resources and show notes:    https://awordfitlyspoken.life/podcast...

When you have problems in your life that you just can’t seem to navigate, where do you turn? God wants us to turn to His Word, to our pastors, and to godly older “Titus 2” brothers and sisters for wisdom and counsel. Biblical counseling is an extension of that godly wisdom, counsel, and discipleship in the church, but sometimes Christians turn to secular therapists - or even “Christian counselors”...

In this episode we shine a light on a movement in the Church that is taking people’s eyes off of Christ - a dangerous theology: Progressive Christianity. This apostate ideology is the hardest in which to reach people with the Truth of the gospel. Progressive Christianity are two opposite words that really don’t belong together - because Progressive Christianity is really no Christianity at all. Re...

Do you ever find it challenging to stand on the truth of Scripture, especially as it relates to sexual purity? From cohabitation to adultery to transexual ideology, this world makes it tough to hold to and even to talk about biblical sexual mores. Sometimes, we can even be tempted to compromise on what the Bible teaches about sexuality. Let's take a look at what Scripture has to say about standing...
