Her Faith Inspires Podcast

Some pastors in the West don't like to mention the "s" word from the pulpit for fear of offending people. However, the Bible says you are either a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness. Karl Clauson is on the show to discuss why sin is the one thing that defeats you and why you have to reckon with it. Karl shares the difference between recognizing your sin and owning it, and why Christians can't be afraid to talk about sin. Karl is a big personality, and you will be encouraged to take your sin to Jesus and defeat the thing defeating you.  Get Karl's book!  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  

According to Open Doors, 1 in 7 Christians around the world were persecuted for their faith in 2024. Statistics show Christian persecution is on the rise. Although Jesus warned us the world would hate us because it hates Him, does that mean our response to persecution should be passive? In this episode, we look back at the attitude of bystanders during the Holocaust, and the reaction of the German church who went with the status quo. What can we learn from their example and what is the appropriate response of Christians in the West even though "it doesn't happen here"?  Stats mentioned from: https://www.baptistpress.com/resource-library/news/just-not-bearable-70-christians-beheaded-in-democratic-republic-of-congo/ https://www.opendoorsus.org/en-US/persecution/countries/ Book Recommendation:  Bystanders: Conscience And Complicity During the Holocaust 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

A few weeks ago, Marianne Budde scolded President Trump from behind a pulpit at the inaugural prayer breakfast. What does this say about the state of the church? Leadership changes every four years but the church is supposed to be the constant that holds the culture accountable to objective truth. Is the church being changed by the culture or is the culture changing the church? It's one or the other. We talk about the importance of knowing scripture and why speaking the truth matters now more than ever.    Go to summit.org/shanda for$200 off your 16-22 year olds summit training experience.

Many parents assume their engaged and involved teen is sold out for Jesus, only to realize after the first semester of college that assuming he followed Jesus wasn't evidence enough. Ricky, a youth pastor and ministry leader, is on the show to talk about the challenges of discipling students in the 21st century. He shares the most prominent influences competing for the minds of our youth and what the church can do to change it.  Subscribe at https://rickyarnel.com   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  

The cosmetic industry is a billion dollar industry with a projected sales increase on cosmetics and injections this year. More American women buy cosmetics than any other country in the world, spending money on makeup, facial products, and other noninvasive procedures like botox and fillers.

In this episode we talk about how the culture defines beauty, what God says is beautiful, and some of my own struggles throughout the aging process.

You've heard of New Age but have you heard of New Thought? Even if you haven't you've likely been impacted by the messages coming from this movement shaping our self-obsessed world. From positive affirmations to the prosperity gospel, New Thought messages have slithered into the church through crafty teachers and tickled the ears of unsuspecting Christians. And you may have even read about New Thought ideas from the pages of your own self-help books. Melissa Dougherty, author of Happy Lies: How A Movement You (probably) Never Heard Of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World is on the show to warn us and equip us to spot New Thought and understand this stealthy movement.

To recover means to "regain possession of." Why do we have to regain meaning in our culture? It's due to postmodernism and the message that meaning is not based on absolute truth. One of the questions every worldview answers is, "How should I live?" Annie Crawford is on the show to discuss how we can regain the meaning of life and the human need to connect what is true and beautiful to our purpose under the sun.  Find Annie Crawford at http://anniecrawford.net 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
