Her Faith Inspires Podcast

Do you know why first impressions are important? Because if you dress up and look put together, you're more likely to convince people that looking good means you are good. This is called the halo effect and it's a bias we see in 1 Samuel when God accuses Samuel of choosing a king based upon his appearance. Everyone has biases, including you. Shanda talks about what biases are, how to identify them, and why they are a barrier to good thinking. She shares her own experiences with biases and how humility is needed to face them.    Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop

What version of the Bible is the most accurate and which one should you read? Why are some Bible verses missing from certain translations?

Shanda answers all of these questionss and talks about how to choose a Bible that is right for you.      Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop  

What is with the "end times" and the evidence we're living in the last days? Are we really living in the last days and does the moral decline of culture prove it? Albert and Shanda continue their conversation about the unseen realm and spiritual warfare. They discuss the very real part Christians play in the unseen realm, even if you don't feel like you do. The reality is God chose Christians as His temple and for that reason, your prayers can hinder the advancement of the enemy. Listen to this very interesting conversation.      Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop  

How often do you think about the unseen realm? We can get so caught up in living in the moment, tending to our immediate needs and desires, that we often forget there is a spiritual realm we are part of. Albert Leon is back on the show to discuss the unseen realm, and we dive into the book by the late Michael Heiser as well as passages of Scripture that shed light on this topic. You will learn about gods, fallen angels, and why spiritual battles are very real.    Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop  

Some topics are heavily debated by Christains and when it comes to drinking alcohol, the debate can get heated. The real question isn't, "Did Jesus drink wine?" And it's also not, "Did Jesus turn water into grape juice?" Shanda dives into the real issue when we talk about the freedom we have in Christ. She also talks about who we should consider when drinking alcohol. This episode may ruffle some feathers, but that's not the intention. While we do want to be agreeable, the most important issue is that we are truthful when it comes to what the Bible tells us to do.    Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop  

Shanda's husband, Dean, is on the show this week to talk about why men rose up to boycott Bud Light, why men like Andrew Tate and David Goggins are popular among young men, and why families who try and substitute dads are missing a huge part of training for kids. They discuss why men and women compliment each other in parenting roles, and answer the question: do women "tame" men? They also discuss what it's like raising boys in a culture that says everything manly is toxic, and why they don't teach their boys to be masculine but how to be men of God.    Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop

Does it matter how much you weigh, what you eat, or if you workout? Does God care how we take care of our bodies? Body positivity is promoted by our culture and that really means it doesn't matter what you look like. Even if you're overweight and your BMI is in the unhealthy zone, you should celebrate the way you look and so should everyone else. And although the Bible does not place value on us by how much we weigh or what we look like, does that mean God doesn't care about a healthy lifestyle? Robin Rhine McDonald is a faith-based holistic health coach and she walks us through what the Bible says about taking care of our bodies and why it's important. We discuss what the Bible says about physical health and healing. The body is not less than the mind and soul. We talk about how the calling and purpose God places in our lives is closely connected with how we steward our bodies.    Follow Robin Rhine McDonald on social media and listen to her podcast: Vision Driven Health   Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop  

What are toxic relationships, and as Christians do we cut toxic people out of our lives? There are some Chrstian influencers on social media who tout the message of the culture when it comes to "toxic" relationships. If the people in your life do not cheer you on, clap along, or make you feel insecure, are you really supposed to cut them out of your life? Does the Bible tell us anything about toxic relationships? Shanda shares some of her own relationship experiences on this episode and looks at what the Bible says about friendships. If you are struggling with relationships that challenge you, irritate you, or downright frustrate you, Shanda is going to take a dive into the Bible's guidance on how to endure and how we need to think about relationships.    Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop Register your middle schooler Train Your Brain: An introduction to logic at onlinechristiancourses.com and enter code logic2023 for a 20% discount.
