Biblically Lit

Women in ministry…What does that look like today? Or better yet, what should it look like in an American Christian culture struggling through a civil war of gender identities and roles? How should women serve? What obstacles do women face in serving? How do we keep our priorities straight amidst the chaos that is our lives already? How do we handle time management? How can we prioritize “doing” ov...

What education options are best for our kids? What does God (the Bible) have to say about it? Why is it such a highly debated topic with such vicious opinions?  In this episode, Mindi begins to answer some of these questions. This first part (this episode) takes a step back to look at this subject from a big picture perspective. Mindi first offers her opinion (as biblically grounded as possible) o...

Few of us can say that we’re bored. Rather, most of us are overwhelmed by overly full schedules that leave us stressed out and with more gray hair than we’d like to admit. As Christians, we must as ourselves, “Is it OK to say no, especially to GOOD things?” And if it is OK, how do we know if it’s what the Lord wants?  This episode explores all these questions and more as Mindi explores this topic....

In this episode, the second in a two-part series on hell, Mindi talks about what Jesus said about hell and what we are supposed to do about it. Did Jesus have a lot to say about it?

In this episode, Mindi dives into the least pleasant topic in all of Scripture - hell.

Listen to find out more about this topic, and ultimately, be that much more thankful for t...

In order for a plant to grow, its seed needs to die. Death is required for the plant to grow and become what it was always meant to be. The same is true for Christians - our life in Christ required His death.  But the story doesn’t end there, just like it didn’t end with Good Friday. He ROSE! He conquered death so we could come alive. But we aren’t given life in order to remain dormant seeds colle...

Patience is great in theory, not so much when we’re in a situation where we need to exercise it. But it’s also a virtue and a fruit of the Spirit, so we, as Christians, need to understand it! In this episode, Mindi offers a biblical definition of patience, and encourages listeners to embrace it since we’ve been offered the utmost example of patience in Christ. She also provides some real life exam...

A lot of Christians treat God like a genie more than a King. They desire what He can give them more than who He is. In this “pop up” episode (short and sweet!), Mindi tackles this problem in the church with a brief journey through a story in the Old Testament. Listen and be encouraged to seek God’s heart more than His stuff; His presence more than His presents.  Email Mindi: KingsWynd@Gmail.com  ...

On a scale of 1-10, how grown up do you consider yourself in faith? No one likes admitting immaturity, but unfortunately, it's rampant in the American church and culture. Christians who should be well into the adulthood of their faith are content being infants living on milk. They're refusing to grow up. And what's worse? Very few are sounding the alarm about it! Well, Mindi does so...

Suffering impacts all of us in so many ways, but it has a purpose. And that’s what Mindi talks about in the first part of this episode - the two purposes of suffering for the lives of those who call themselves Christians. The second part dives into Jesus and suffering - the ways He suffered and His purpose in it on our behalf.  Every Christian should understand suffering so we can cope with our ex...

What immediately comes to mind when you hear the word “suffering”? Losing someone? Some kind of trauma you’ve experienced? An illness or injury? A difficult relationship? Finances? There could be a million things, but regardless of the specifics, the word is sharp, and it pierces us deeply.  It’s very important that we, as Christians, understand what suffering is, especially from a biblical perspe...

In this episode, Mindi tackles the subject of love. Totally not intimidating - ha! She (re)defines it according to how it's presented in Scripture, rather than how our society has overused, abused, and misunderstood it.

Transitions. They’re inevitable. Some are intentional - we pursue and embrace them as realities in our lives. Others happen to us - forcing us to respond as we deal with our new reality. Regardless, transitions are a part of life, and they’re ripe with opportunities to grow in our faith.  In this episode, Mindi shares three major transitions her family experienced this year, and then walks through...
