What does God's Word have to say about being single? A lot! A Christian woman who is single, regardless of whether she never married, has been divorced, is widowed, etc., can honor God in her daily life just as any married woman can. Unfortunately many single church members say they are treated as second-class citizens by their church families.

Hollywood marriages last about as long as peanut butter cups in a bowl full of raisins. Not much of a shelf life, and not based on Christ.
The Bible has a lot to say about what "real" marriages look like. With more than 60 years of marriage experience between them, Michelle and Amy discuss biblical love and godly marriages, and what they've learned.

Part two of your questions for Amy and Michelle, who dig into Scripture to see what God’s Word says about life, home, family and relationships - not only with other Christians but with a world that desperately needs a Savior.
We're glad you asked:
- What is your advice to a wife/mom who is spiritually more mature than her husband?
- Do you happen to have a teaching on the book of Job?
- Could you touch on the book “redeeming love” being made into a movie?
- How as a disabled stay at home mom can I be more of a servant of God?
- I am divorced because of abuse, am I still able to go to heaven?
- What does forgiveness really mean biblically?
- At my weekly Bible study we watch a video sermon with no follow up questions, comments or discussion. Thoughts?
- What are your thoughts regarding the teachings of Douglas Wilson?

Sunday, January 23, is Sanctity of Life Sunday. Michelle and Amy cover - quite literally - a deadly serious topic: the abolition of abortion.
Did you know that there’s a big difference between being an abolitionist and being pro-life? Our guest is Pastor Brett Baggett, who will help you understand the difference and also encourage you to get involved in the fight against abortion, so that you can make up your mind: Are you pro life, or do you want to abolish abortion?

It's another interesting episode of “Glad You Asked,” a chance for you to ask us questions about where we stand on theological issues. Amy and Michelle believe the Bible - what God’s true, breathed-out Word says - trumps any opinions we may have!
In this episode we cover:
- How should a christian wife respond when her husband abandons her?
- What is biblical femininity (not womanhood)?
- How can new Christians be equipped to train up their children?
- What to do when church members block you on social media?
- If a church’s worship team leads in songs from Bethel or Hillsong, etc., is that grounds for looking for a different church?
- I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Is this just sin?

We usually don't make resolutions, BUT, just for fun, we thought we'd share some resolutions we wish some of the celebrity teachers would make for 2022! As Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." We hope you enjoy the humor in these in-jest resolutions.

How should a Christian relate to someone in their lives who is obviously living in sexual sin, without appearing to condone this marriage? Thankfully, God does not leave us without answers. As with every other issue in life, our thinking, our words, and our actions must be shaped by and in submission to the authority of Scripture. Not public opinion. Not political agendas. Not our own personal feelings, opinions, and experiences. Scripture.

What is Christian liberty? On many issues, the Bible is crystal clear with no room for debate. Those are “thus saith the Lord” kinds of things. On other issues, the Bible gives us room for differing interpretations. And sometimes the Bible is virtually silent on decisions we face in our lives, and we have to use godly wisdom and draw from biblical principles to inform our consciences and prayerfully make the most God-honoring decisions we can. Michelle and Amy explore what Scripture has to say about Christian liberty.

What do we tell our children about Santa Claus? Our special guest is Justin Peters, an expository teacher, author, minister, and husband to wife, Kathy. Justin's book and video, "Santa Pause" reveals a dark and even demonic history through the ages of this carnal Christian character, and in our present time he is celebrated as a kindly and omnipresent/omniscient old man who generously gives gifts - if you are morally good, that is. Justin shares his thoughts on the effects of lying to our children, and where Christian liberty may or may not play a part in our Christmas traditions.
