Encouragement for the Coates Family

Persecution is ugly. Canadian Pastor James Coates has been imprisoned for breaking the covid-19 "law," and has now been denied bail. His crime? Holding church services and being faithful to the Lord. The GraceLife Church pastor's trial will be in early May, and until then he will not be able to see his wife Erin or their young boys.  

It's a heartbreaking story. Michelle and Amy asked our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram followers to send in their prayers and words of encouragement for the Coates family and for GraceLife, and we're sharing this podcast with them, their church, and all of our listeners.

The Poison of the Enneagram - with Marcia Montenegro

Did you know that the nine "types" in the enneagram actually came from an occultist and his "spirit guide?" The popularity of the enneagram teachings in mainline and mega churches has exploded in the past year as more celebrity preachers are giving this unbiblical trend a green light.

Amy and Michelle sat down with our special guest, Marcia Montenegro, co-author of the book, Richard Rohr and the Enneagram Secret.
Marcia once was steeped in Eastern spirituality and the New Age and was heavily involved --even seen as an expert --in Astrology. God in His mercy saved her out of all of that and her testimony is a must-read. You can find that on her website, Christian Answers for the New Age.

Learning from the Sins of Others: Ravi Zacharias

It hurts the entire Body of Christ when leaders fail. It can feel like a gut punch. The investigative report from Ravi Zacharias International Ministries has concluded, and it's worse than anyone could imagine.  Amy and Michelle discuss the lessons learned from evangelical news stories of leaders caught in sin. Much more than a cautionary "what not to do," these heartbreaking events can teach us about Scripture, about God, and about how we can walk worthy in our own lives.

Finding - and BEING - a Godly Role Model

"You can be anything," says the world, whenever a woman breaks a perceived glass ceiling. Not only do people celebrate her bravery, they elevate her to a role model for other young girls. This happened when Vice President Kamala Harris was elected and took office.

But for Christian women and girls, it takes a lot more than two X chromosomes and a fancy job title to qualify as a role model. Michelle and Amy discuss how today's so-called worldly role models are anything BUT good examples for our girls to follow. Are there any good role models for our daughters? Yes! And they are surprisingly easy to find.

Facing an Uncertain Future

Think 2020 was a not-so-fun year, and 2021 is just more of the same? God's Word tells us that for Christians, persecution and trials are still to come. How in the world are we to endure? Some would say that we should prepare to bug out, head for the hills or start stockpiling food and weapons. But is that really what the Bible says we should be doing? No!

Michelle and Amy discuss how we as Christians can prepare to face whatever comes our way in the weeks, months and years we have left in the race to the finish line.

Discerning False Teachers: Joyce Meyer

Amy and Michelle begin a new multi-part series of podcast episodes discussing what we’re seeing in the modern church, and warning you about avoiding some of the pitfalls of learning at the feet of some of the more popular women’s teachers, speakers and authors.

One of the more popular women’s teachers we do not recommend is Joyce Meyer of Joyce Meyer ministries. She’s been a teacher for 40 years, and is known around the world as a speaker, televangelist and author, and through her many conferences and television episodes aired on untrustworthy stations like TBN and others, her teachings have reached the ears of millions of people. We present many teachings in her own words that contradict the Word of God.
