The Lovesick Scribe Podcast

With the latest development concerning the Supreme Court potentially overturning Roe, there are varying opinions and emotions surrounding this landmark decision. The value of human life is celebrated and defended while opposing views defend personal choice. Today's episode will take a different approach regarding abortion by marveling at God's amazing design in human embryonic and fetal developmen...

Hearing the voice of God on a personal level through direct contact or through dreams and visions is highly regarded and practiced by those who believe this to be crucial in the life of Christians. You may have heard the term mysticism, which would characterize this type of practice that leads to a mystical union with God. There are some who would call themselves Christian mystics. What is a Chris...

Deliverance ministry is a hot topic, and it is also a debated one. Something you may hear a deliverance minister say is this is only done on born again believers. There are lots of questions that arise from such practices, and there are also questions in response to concerns coming from deliverance ministries. Join me as we take an in-depth look into Scripture and the topic of demons and the great...

One of the fundamental beliefs in Christianity deals with the Trinity. However, there are teachings out there stating that there is a fourth member of the Trinity. Does the Bible support this type of teaching? What does it mean to be in Christ? Join me as we look into this teaching in comparison to Scripture and why the teaching of the fourth member of the Trinity is problematic.  Website: ht...

Have you ever been called a Pharisee or told you do not have the Holy Spirit because of expressing concerns and dissenting remarks in conjunction with Scripture over a particular teaching or practice? Perhaps you have even heard remarks like this when posing questions and concerns about a particular individual and their doctrine.  Join me as I share some personal insight on this topic with th...

If you are familiar with "God's generals", then you have probably heard numerous miraculous stories surrounding them. You are also probably familiar with the well-known account of the bubonic plague dying in the hand of John G Lake while he was in South Africa.  Join me as we take an in-depth look into this account from a historical, scientific, and most importantly, Biblical perspective rega...

1 Peter 5:6,7 says, "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." We can trust the Lord in bringing our cares and burdens to the Lord, knowing that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He is to be our strength. However, many of us have put our cares on life support, holding...

Have you heard of the new Disney Pixar movie, Turning Red ? There are many mixed reviews surrounding this movie, ranging from praise to pause for concern. I was the latter even before watching it, but I decided to use this movie to my advantage as a Christian mother by turning it into a tool for discussing my Christian faith and the conflicting views and influences in this movie with our daughter....

The fruit of the Spirit is a hallmark in the life of a believer in Christ. We read of this fruit in Galatians 5:22,23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." Have you ever heard these verses concerning the fruit of the Spirit and realized how much more spiritual maturity and sanct...

The Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, has been likened at times to a force or an energy. He has been credited with manifestations such as drunkenness, holy laughter, jerking, twitching, and shaking. There are words outside of Scripture attributed to Him, encounters appearing more as conversations between two friends having coffee rather than acknowledging the holiness and reverence of...

Perhaps you have heard this phrase. Typically, it is not an endearing thing to say when uttered, as it refers to those who place a great emphasis on the importance of Scripture. The implication is that those who place this emphasis are in essence worshiping the Bible and potentially not giving way to the Holy Spirit. Some may even believe these individuals are void of the Holy Spirit.  What d...

If you have ever heard teachings from deliverance ministers, you might be familiar with the practice of attributing demonic power to objects. Some teachings emphasize such things as self deliverance, rebuking the devil, and cleansing your home of demonic objects inhabited by demons.  Join me as we take a look at the teaching of spiritually cleansing one's home of objects said to potentially b...

If you have ever heard of the New Apostolic Reformation, you might have heard the name C. Peter Wagner. He is credited for coining this term and he believed that a second apostolic age began in 2001. One of the fundamental beliefs surrounding this movement is the restoration of the office of the Apostle and with that, governing authority. However, as of late, there are individuals who deny this mo...

Have you ever heard of the terms "drunk in the spirit" or "holy laughter"? Maybe you or someone you know has experienced this manifestation. In this episode, we will look at specific passages of Scripture that are used to support this manifestation and if this is a Biblical practice. We will also look at what the Bible has to say about drunkenness and sobriety.  Is it possible to have joy in...

There is a growing desire in many to hear the voice of God and to have hidden knowledge revealed. Talk of spiritual intelligence is now finding a path into the modern prophetic movement, and one of those avenues is through a business called Aqua Regia where prophetic reports are provided on both a personal and a business level, and another affiliated entity called The Prophetic Lab where equipping...

The account in Exodus 14 of the Red Sea parting is a well known account in Scripture. This particular event is often translated into our modern times and ascribed to particular events and adversities. Often, Red Sea moments are prophesied in the current prophetic movement. Several years ago, I wrote a "prophetic word" on my blog which was shared on media outlets such as Charisma Magazine. It was a...

If you were to go on social media, you would likely not have difficulty in finding an abundance of prophetic words for 2022. But are these really words from God? How can we test vague words and generalities against Scripture?  I actually found a word for 2022 from a council of prophets that I will be evaluating on this episode, and we will return to the more certain Word of prophecy, Scriptur...

It is 2022! The beginning of a new year, and with certainty, we all have likely made the proverbial resolution. Many of those resolutions are based on  desires for personal growth and self betterment. However, there is a resolution far better. Join me as we talk about this one resolution.

This year has been one for the books! As I reflect back on this year, I am celebrating the grace and mercy of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and I am personally inspecting myself in weaknesses and where I desire to grow in spiritual maturity. Are you in that same place? This is a great time for us to take personal inventory and to go before the Lord with the desire to glorify Him in all we do.&n...

Prophecy is an alluring topic for many people. I love looking at prophecy found in Scripture concerning Jesus Christ. It can be quite overwhelming when you realize how many prophecies Jesus Christ fulfilled, not including the types and shadows pointing to Him all throughout the Old Testament. As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior during this time of year, join me as we take a...

Have you ever heard someone say they made Jesus their Lord and Savior? I know I have said this very thing in times past. When we look at the Word of God, we find numerous references to Jesus already being both Lord and Savior and that this is not something which is granted to Jesus by man. Romans 10:9,10 says, "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God ra...

Suffering. It is not a hot topic or one that garners much press, but it is relevant in the life of every believer in Christ. Of all the promises talked about as Christians, this one is avoided and potentially rejected in some teachings. If we were able to choose what we like about following Christ, we would lean towards reigning with Christ without suffering. But Scripture tells us something much...

A true shepherd of Christ is marked by humility and a desire to follow Christ's example of servitude. A true shepherd understands Biblical authority and what the confines of Scripture has to say on such matters. Sadly, there are leaders who are not true shepherds but instead, a heavy hand of demanded submission and an overreach of authority is being witnessed and experienced by many. Sheep are bei...

The significance of the gospel of Jesus Christ cannot be overstated. If the true gospel is not proclaimed and if personal experience along with extrabiblical revelation takes precedence for understanding salvation, then there is a real danger of another gospel and another Christ being proclaimed to others. This is no small issue. This is an eternity issue, and the gospel matters. It is a matter of...
