On the surface, prayer seems so simple- just talk to God. But when it’s time to actually do it, there can be a million questions. And those questions are nothing to be ashamed of. The disciples lived with Jesus. Heard Him pray. Watched Him pray. And they still had to ask Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” In part 2 of our 2 part series on prayer, we talk about praying Scripture, and practical tips for your own prayer time, as well as leading others in prayer.

Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, if you prefer, is upon us. It's all about the resurrection of Christ from the dead. But, as you know, there’s no resurrection without a crucifixion. Jesus had to lay down His life before He could take it up again. And that's what we're talking about in this episode as we approach Easter - Jesus’ suffering, or “passion” as it’s sometimes called, and His death, burial, and resurrection.

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!

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.
