Blue Skies and Green Pastures: A Christian Podcast with Paula Adams

Is understanding the Bible as easy as some people claim? No. Not everyone agrees on what it means. Here are just a few of the many doctrines that Christians love to argue about. What really matters? All of it! Just because it's not simple doesn't mean you shouldn't read it.  How can you tell if you're really saved and can you lose your salvation? What about Free will and God's sovereignty? Noah an...

You can still find joy in this messed up world of covid and chaos . Anxiety and depression don’t have to rule your life. #anxiety

It’s a full moon. I unload my thoughts. Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges! ( I actually don’t talk about that.) I had a good day. The future is in God’s hands! We need to stop praying for Jesus to come back and start doing what he told us to do . Yes , bad people have plans, but God can overcome them if we repent! #freedom #future https://blueskiesandgreenpastures.com/2021/11/20/do-i-g...

Things are changing fast, but not that fast. The transition period can be chaotic . Don’t get sucked into fear or get rich quick schemes. Educate yourself on new digital currency while the experts work out the details. Correction: Biden and Xi Jinping met virtually, not in China.

Rising gas and food prices and stagnant wages have people worried about the future. In this episode we discuss supply and demand, Adam Smith, the Austrian School, and Keynesian theory, plus  the causes of the current inflation and supply chain problems. Will Biden cause stagflation? Do the Democrats want higher unemployment? How are the UN SDG goals driving economic chaos? What is the solutio...

Jesus was not like other prophets and religious teachers. He was the son of God, born of a virgin, who came to earth from Heaven with a specific purpose. While here he performed many signs and miracles to prove who he was , the Messiah that the prophets of old had been talking about for hundreds of years. He came that we might know God and by believing in him, have our sins forgiven. Listen today...

The first in a series of talks about economics. I discuss why people need to work, own things, and how that provides freedom. People need to work to feel good about themselves. People need to own property to have power over their lives. People need to be free to think and act independently of a nanny state. None of this will happen if a new class of non-working people is created. Beware the Marxis...

A conversation with my best friend Faithe about what she and I have learned about ourselves in our wise old age. If you're a 50+ woman, you can probably relate, if you're a younger mom, you might learn something!  Both of us are Christians, have large families and homeschooled our kids. We have a lot in common in how we relate to the world and people even though we also have many differences...

You may have heard of the Mark of the Beast, but what do you know about the Great Delusion? Listen and find out!

Living on one income with six children has been like a very long roller coaster ride, much scarier than we expected at times, and lots of fun at other times, with some screaming, puking and laughing along the way. Sometimes I am amazed that we have survived the ride! Then I say a prayer of thanks. In this episode I'll share our story of how God made it work.  We own a house instead of renting. We...

This is OUR STORY. YOU have to make your own decision. Just pray , weigh the facts, an...
