The consequence of standing for truth with Rita Rogers
Denying the truth has consequences, but so does speaking the truth. Which is easier? Rita Rogers understands the consequences for speaking the truth all too well. She is an ICU nurse and stood against the mainstream narrative we heard again and again over the last few years. She advocates for common sense, critical thinking, and why compromising the truth for comfort does not bring lasting peace. Rita talks about the price she paid for standing for truth, and why she doesn't regreat a minute of it even though it wasn't alwasy easy. She will encourage you to do the same.

The evil of man, the infatuation with evil, and should Christians celebrate Halloween?
What is evil? Most think it's green monsters, murderers, and masked men with chainsaws. Sure, there is a spectrum of evil deeds we can classify as bad or worse, but we first have to identify what evil is. Next, we move onto the infatuation with evil in movies, kids toys, and the media. And finally, we discuss whether or not Christians should celebrate Halloween.

Yes, California made me a stronger Christian: Why hard things make you stronger
In today's episode, Shanda talks about how growing up in California challenged her as a wife, mom, and overall woman of God. She discusses what it's like living in the Bible Belt, and how the recent George Barna study on a biblical worldview of Christians shows where we live might have something to do with the strength of our faith. She goes on to encourage you to be alert and watchful, and why there is no such thing as passivity for the Christian, regardless of where you live. When hard times come upon us, we will either rise to the occassion, or we will bury our heads in the sand.

149: Tragedy and Loss: how knowing God anchored me with Jennifer DeFrates
After watching her husband commit suicide, Jennifer was plunged into an emotional whirlwind. The apologetics training she underwent to equip herself to witness to her husband and reassure him that God exists was the same evidence that anchored her during this time of tragic loss. She had to rely on what she knew instead of what she felt and that is what anchored her. She now speaks and writes to help others learn to defend the faith.

148: Are you taking God's name in vain without realizing it?
OMG! Jesus Ch$@%&! Oh my God! Some Christians think if they don't say these, text these, or watch movies with these expressions then they aren't taking God's name in vain. While all of this is true, there's so much more to taking God's name in vain than what we say. What if I told you words like OMG doesn't even scratch the surface of what it means to take God's name in vain? Let's talk about what it looks like to take God's name in vain and why He will hold those accountable who do.

147: Not your typical women's bible study with Sarah Rogers
Is there a wrong way to study the Bible? Many women desire a depth of theolgy and knowledge of God, but they don't know how to get there. The concensus with many women's ministries is shallow teaching that doesn't get to the heart of most women's hunger to go deeper with God. Sarah Rogers, a pastor's wife and women's minstry leader, is on the show to talk about the right and wrong way to study the Bible and why theology is for women too.

146 : Do women have to keep their mouths shut in church?
It's the age-old debate - are women permitted to teach/preach in the church? Did Paul really tell women to shut their pie-holes? If you've been on social media, you'll see WOMEN who are equally against women teaching men as men who take this stance are. So who's right? Where does a woman fit into the role of teacher, preacher, and pastor? We're going to take this straight to the Bible and tackle this question.

145: Christians must stay out of politics? with Knight and Rose
If you want to bring division to any discussion, talk politics. The culture of Christianity today is so afraid to offend, we've backed out of speaking truth in politics. People will tell you we're not here to create a theocracy so just go with the flow and zip your lip while you're at it. Is that true? Is that the way God has called us to handle policies and government? My undercover guests from the Knight and Rose podcast are on the show today to talk about why Christians must get involved in politics. If there were ever a time in America, the time is now.

144 : God doesn't answer everyone's prayers. Here's why!
People often think that just because they pray, God will answer them. Sometimes prayer is used in the same way as an axe in a "Break glass in case of emergency" scenario; prayer is the last resort. The hard truth is that God doesn't answer everyone's prayers. But there is a reason He doesn't, and that's what we'll talk about today.
