A Word Fitly Spoken

Discernment and the Role of Women

Pastors are increasingly facing a culture that challenges the biblical roles of women in the church and at home.  Amy and Michelle were recently invited to be interviewed by Pastor Mitch Schultz, who has served for over thirty years as a pastor with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA). He is the host of a podcast, Before You Quit: Bringing Courage and Perspective When Serving Gets Hard. What a blessing and encouragement it was. Pastor Mitch has graciously allowed us to share this interview on our podcast today. Enjoy!

Talk Back: Lysa TerKeurst

How can we be discerning and "test the spirits," as it says in 1 John 4:1-6? We do that by holding up everything we hear or read to the light of Truth found in God's Word, to see if this comes from the Spirit of Truth or a spirit of error. We are kicking off an episode series called "Talk Back," where we listen together to a presentation, a video or a sermon, and then compare what that speaker teaches to what God's Word says. In this episode, we examine a teaching from a program called Therapy and Theology: Commonly Misunderstood Verses about Women, presented by popular teacher Lysa TerKeurst.

Hospitality - Part 2

When you hear someone say the word “hospitality,” what's the first thing that comes to mind? An immaculate home with a Pinterest-ready guest room? A fancy party with crystal serving bowls and your grandma's best china? That is not biblical hospitality. Amy and Michelle dive into Scripture to discuss what God's Word says about the hospitable heart, in Part 2 of our two-part series. (Listen to part 1 here)

Are Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, and Lent Biblical?

Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, and Lent are all traditions that are connected. But are they biblical? In this encore episode, Michelle and Amy dig deep into Scripture to explain why sweet treats and parades are fun, the theology behind these traditions are far from biblical truth.

The Pew!

What's going on in Christendom these days? Find out in this episode of "The Pew!"

We call it The Pew not only because it will bear a slight resemblance to The View, but because it’s sort of like our view from the church pew on these thought-provoking headline stories.

Welcome to another "What Would You Do?" episode!Amy and Michelle each came up with three scenarios requiring wisdom on the fly to ask each other about. But here’s the catch - we’ve kept those scenarios a secret from each other, so we’ve both got to give our answers off the cuff. Play along!

Holy Habits: Evangelism - with Rich Story

When we think about holy habits, we mostly think about things like reading our Bibles, prayer, and church attendance. But what about evangelism - telling the lost how to be saved? It’s something the Lord calls all of us to do, but it’s also something most Christians have lots of questions about.
In our third and final Holy Habits for the New Year episode, we visit with Rich Story, co-host of Voice of Reason Radio.

In this "throwback episode," 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?
