Her Faith Inspires Podcast

It's a new year and people are fired up to make a change for the better. While there's nothing wrong with that, there is a reason why most everyone quits before the end of January. In this episode, Shanda tells you why motivational speakers get you fired up for the moment but why the energy dies down once the dopamine wears off. We also examine some Christian self-help authors and influencers and what you need to remember as one who allows others to pour into your life. Let's get ready to kick-off 2023 and talk about how to be a student who creates lasting spiritual disciplines.   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 Patreon: @ShandaFulbright

The right to life is a fundamental right that preceeds all other rights. Many argue that abortion is a Christian belief and we should keep our opinions out of it. Are they right? Scott Klusendorf is the best pro-life apologist who coaches pro-life advocates on how to engage with others and defend the unborn. Since the overturning of Roe v Wade, the heat has been turned up and Christians must step up and fight for life. If you are on the fence about abortion rights, or if you just don't know how to have these conversations with pro-choice advocates, this is a must listen.

According to a recent study, more than 50% of American Christians say they share the gospel, however, many Christians don't know what the gospel is. We begin by breaking down what the gospel message is, your responsibility in sharing it with others, and why you can't have the good news without the bad news. So what's the bad news? Can you leave out words like sin, hell, and judgment when talking about the gospel? Let's talk about it!    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

Who split the calendar from BC to AD? Who is mentioned by nearly every major religion in the world? Many who claim to be Christians today believe that Jesus is not the only way to Heaven. When it comes down to it Jesus offends many who want to choose any other way but Him to the Father. Shanda revised this listener favorite to explain why Jesus is so offensive but why He is the hope of the world. 

There is a difference between the relationship with God that was possible in the Old Testament compared to the relationship possible through Jesus. No one called God father in the Old Testament. The reconciliation offered through Christ made God not only approachable, but made the adoption into His family possible. There is no other religion known to man where God came to His own. And, there is no other religion known to man where God puts Himself in the position as your Father once you accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Christmas is so much more than a manger scene. This episode will remind everyone of the love God has for His people and the desire to have an intimate relationship with each one of us.  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 Patreon patreon.com/user?u=80979883 

Doubt is not neutral. It never stays put. It will draw you further away from God or, if dealt with correctly, doubt can help you become a stronger Christian. However, doubt is something everyone deals with because it is not only a Christian problem - it is a human problem. Shanda reviews Bobby Conway's book Doubting Toward Faith in this episode. She pulls out the most significant struggles Christians have when they doubt, and  she lays out the tips given by Bobby to help you move through doubt toward a greater faith in God. This episode is not only for those who doubt, but for those who know others struggling with doubts of their own. By the end of the episode you will want to do two things: buy the book and read it, and NEVER break the number one rule when someone tells you they have doubts.    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 Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=80979883

Parenting isn't easy and mom guilt is real. There's no denying most cultural battles today are centered around children and what's best for them. One of the approaches parents are taking is gentle parenting. It's a method that eliminates discipline and focuses on raising independent kids through empthay and understanding. But is that the biblical view of parenting? Haley Williams discusses the biblical approach to parenting and why many lessons parents teach their kids have the possibility for the salvation message, forgiveness, and the hope of restored relationships. This is an encouraging episode and a great reminder for parents as we learn to steer our children in a culture that is growing increasingly hostile toward biblical parenting.   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 Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=80979883      

What does it take to be a good wife? This is a question I got from l listener a few weeks ago. Is the Proverbs 31 woman a standard for all women? If so, you might sometimes feel defeated after PInterest fails and Instagram posts of other women who look more put together. But is that what it means to be a good wife? Shanda shares the answer to this question by looking at Proverbs 31 and why some women look at biblical womanhood through the wrong lens.

How many times do you hit snooze on your alarm clark in the morning? It's usually our to-do list that keeps us up at night, but the exhaustion and loss of ambition that keeps us from getting up in the morning. How do we strike a balance between getting things done and knowing when to rest? Reagan Rose, author and founder of Redeeming Productivity, is on the show to discuss the biblical view of productivity. He guides us into the do's and don'ts of work, people pleasing, and why our ambition to get more done should be for the glory 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 Reagan Rose:  Redeemingproductivity.com https://twitter.com/Reagantrose https://www.instagram.com/reagantrose/  

Sure, unforgiveness roots bitterness and allows the person who wronged you to live inside your head. But that's not the full story. There is a more dangerous reality to withholding forgiveness from others and it's likely no one has told you about it - not even your pastor. Shanda talks about the danger and consequences of refusing to forgive, choosing to hold grudges, and seeking revenge. If every Christian lived by this standard and understood this reality, the world would be a better place.
