A Word Fitly Spoken

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.

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.

Will we ever see abortion abolished?

Did you know that there’s a big difference between being an abolitionist and being pro-life? Michelle and Amy cover a deadly serious topic: the abolition of abortion. 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?

1. Daily Bible reading/prayer
2. Faithful church attendance
3. Finding a place of service at your church
4. Discernment
