We hear all the time that gender is a spectrum, but the Bible says otherwise. Male and female are the only genders God created. However, what IS a spectrum is masculinity and femininity. In this episode, I'm chatting with Hillary Morgan Ferrer on how to help our kids understand these topics and giving you lots of tips and advice on guiding that conversation. None of us WANTS to bring this up to ou...

The lovely and fast-rising Granny's Got Greens from IG is joining me today for an encouraging Titus 2 conversation about all the hot topics of motherhood. We cover how: - motherhood isn't a waste of your life - consistent discipline early on is the key to less discipline down the road - train and obey are not "dog words" - they are for parenting - you need to be very picky about...

Have you ever realized the patterns of your life reflect more attitudes of sin and selfishness than sanctification and being set apart to the Lord? I have. And so has Katie Bonnema. In this episode, Katie shares her story of realizing she needed to make changes to how she operated as a homemaker, wife and mother. We both discuss how we have involved our children in the keeping and maintenance of o...

In this episode I discuss with apologist Paul Dan the influence of neoplatonic thought in the Eastern Orthodox church as well as the elevation of tradition and church fathers to equal authority as the holy scriptures. Mr. Dan grew up in the reformed Eastern Orthodox church that had been impacted by a true gospel reformation years prior and he has an intimate understanding of their teachings. SPONS...

Eastern Orthodoxy considers itself the true church founded by Jesus Chris and his apostles in 33 A.D.. It holds that it has maintained the unbroken, apostolic faith for over 2,000 years, tracing its roots to the early Church mentioned in the New Testament. But is this true? And what differences does Eastern Orthodoxy teach compared to protestant Christianity? Is our faith really "brand new&qu...

James Talarico's brand of Christianity is being touted the world over as "a loving response to Christian nationalism" - but IS IT? We evaluate the ideas that undergird his slick sayings and hold them up to what the Bible actually teaches. SPONSORS We Heart Nutrition - the supplements I use!

Women have been planning their lives all wrong. We've been taught to plan our lives around a career - even as Christian young women! "What if your husband dies?" "What if you don't get married?" These are valid questions and possibilities, of course, but does that mean we should plan our lives around these things and orient our choices (that affect decades of our life!) around them? What's importa...

As culture reduces Easter to pastel optimism and vague messages of renewal, how can parents ground their children in the historical reality of the resurrection? This conversation helps families distinguish between cultural spirituality and the central truth of Christianity. We discuss talking with your kids about topics like: Would Good Friday Still Be Good without Easter? How can we be sure Jesus...

You've seen it make the rounds: the same conversation comes up every Christmas and Easter. Christmas trees are pagan. We are not commanded to celebrate the birth or resurrection of Christ. Easter has occult, pagan roots. Then there is the observance of feasts some take further than observance -- it becomes for them legalistic and required. What these beliefs and ideas have in common is a false...

Today's episode explores a topic that is hotly debated today by many Americans. Did America have a Christian founding? Mark David Hall, Ph. D., Professor in Regent's School of Government, renowned scholar of early America and expert on religious liberty joins me to discuss. I loved this conversation and you will too! Check out my Substack post here for more history resources. Mark David Ha...

Public schools can be very dark places - but that means the light that is present in them shines all the brighter. Since 2002, Decision Point has equipped Christian students as teen evangelists to reach their peers and classmates for Christ. For over 20 years they have seen young people give their lives to Christ through on-campus, student-led outreach events. The best part? These students now hav...

In an age of constant capitulation to secular culture, it can feel discouraging trying to discern if there are any true "Christian" colleges left. That's why Jen Russum developed The College Guide, to help Christian parents find their way to a university that is still maintaining a biblical worldview. You can find it here:  The College Guide: Wisdom for Christian Parents + Teens . SP...

This episode is a conversation about what true biblical parenting looks like in a Christian home. Many parents did not themselves grow up with this being modeled and that has left a big opportunity for unbiblical and secular parenting methodologies to sneak into Christian homes. The Word of God has so much more for us than half-baked secular psychological mumbo jumbo. Tune in to learn how you can...

Today I'm chatting with Shanda Fulbright about how conversations about discernment and discipleship left the dinner table, opening up the need for college age students to learn those things on campus from people like the late Charlie Kirk. Discipleship begins at home and we need to major on these things with our kids while they are in our home rather than leaving it to people to evangelize the...

If you've unfollowed 50-70 decor, cooking and home influencers in the last 48 hours, you're not alone. I'm hearing it from everyone. It's 2020 all over again. We all remember the black square, right? Only this time it's not a black square symbolizing your allyship for "Blackout Tuesday" it's twisting scripture and expressing how heavy hearted you are for the "situation in Minnesota." Granted - it'...

What does the Christian do when allegiance to Christ collides with government's demands for compliance? Pastor James Coates shares some of his story of doing just that in Canada when the federal government closed his church's doors. We discuss Christian engagement in politics, the difference between the mission of the church and the mission of individual believers and how the church can ex...

We all feel it. There are fewer Titus 2 older women available to disciple us in the faith than ever and we have a whole new generation of Gen Z women coming up needing discipleship and maturity in the faith. So what do we do in the absence of Titus 2 women? Erin Coates has such good wisdom and this conversation will encourage you. https://womenofgracelife.com/ Women of Grace Podcast: Heart & H...

Did you know there is a debate about how we should look at history? Even amongst some self-professing Christians? Neither did I... until a few months ago. I'm jumping into the deep end with Nicki Truesdell to explain what providential history is and examine whether it is a biblical view of history that we should be teaching our kids. This episode is fascinating whether you're a homeschool...

Young adults are taught to pick work the wrong way. The current system teaches them to pick their path based on random personality tests and high school "passions". Their life goals are never part of the process. This causes unnecessary stress, wastes years, and creates mountains of college debt. No one asks them the simple question:  “Will this job help you build the life you want?” Joi...

I am so excited I got to sit down and chat with the wonderful Cindy Rollins. Cindy homeschooled nine children for over 30 years using Charlotte Mason’s timeless ideas.

The West and Islam have clashed since the mid-seventh century, when, according to Muslim tradition, the Roman emperor rejected Prophet Muhammad's order to abandon Christianity and convert to Islam, unleashing a centuries-long jihad on Christendom. Raymond Ibrahim explains how what we see today is merely a continuation of this centuries-long conflict and provides insightful analysis into the wa...
