We're Not Theologians

In this season’s final episode, Rianna opens up about her journey with independence, co-dependence, and the only solution to both. Drawing together a story through Biblical psychology, she explores the root sin of independence and co-dependence, sharing through her own emotional and psychological journey of pain, coping mechanisms, and healing, the true path to emotional and relational balance. Ep...

What are the chances that a former slave and prisoner would become one of the greatest leaders of the most powerful nation on earth? We’re not statisticians, but we know of at least one who beat the odds. Or maybe we should say, we know of one whose odds were entirely decided by God. (And He won.) Join Rianna and Belgrove, this episode’s fellow non-Theologian, as they unpack the path God led Josep...

Can we ever know we’re saved? If so, how can we know? Does keeping the commandments save us? If not, why keep them at all? And if salvation isn’t something we earn but a freely-given gift, what do we do once we’ve grasped that reality by faith?  Join Rianna and Christian, this episode’s fellow non-Theologian, as they thread together a Biblical outline of the how , the why , and the what of salvati...

It’s the relationship episode! The one when we talk about the birds and the bees (Biblically, of course), and laugh. A lot. At a lot of things: beautiful, true, and ridiculous. Join Rianna and Heidi, this episode’s fellow non-Theologian, as they explore the beauty of romantic love through Heidi’s own love story, discussing the call to be a minister’s wife (yes, we believe it’s a calling!), the pow...

Elijah the prophet is quite the guy. He goes before the apostate king Ahab, boldly decries the Israelites’ unfaithfulness, and declares God’s judgement of drought on the land - all with the constantly looming risk of death. But how was he able to do any of that? And, maybe more importantly, how do we? Join Rianna and Shiloh, this episode’s fellow non-Theologian, as they unpack the three keys to El...

What do a mustard seed, Noah’s ark, and the 144,000 have in common? More than you’d believe. (Pun intended.) Join Rianna and Jake, this episode’s fellow non-Theologian, as they thread together a deeply hopeful and encouraging narrative of faith through Christ’s living illustration, Biblical models’ active demonstration, and End Time prophesy’s powerful implications.  Episode Bible References: Matt...

Picture the scene: You're a disciple, you've just come back from your first mission trip, and you're hungry. Jesus invites you to rest with Him, promptly engages an audience of at least 5,000 individuals, and tells you they need to eat. That's how one of the craziest days of your life is about to begin. Join Rianna and Juliette, this episode's fellow non-Theologian, as they explore the events of M...

How do we know God's will? That's the billion dollar question, if you will. (I will.) But what if we're putting a lot of money in the wrong place? What if, instead of asking how we know God’s will, we should be thinking about how we understand it? And maybe you'd be amazed at how that simple transformation changes literally everything. Join Rianna and Matthew, this episode's fellow non-Theologian,...

Why does this podcast exist? Who's behind it? And does Rianna really hate theologians? Guess you'll have to listen to find out. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." ( Ephesians 2:8-9, NKJV )

The show for those looking for a practical kind of theology. (We promise we love theologians. Honest.)
