The mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics isn't suprising. What is suprising is the response of many in the church who scold Christians for defending Christianity.

Shanda answers these questions, examines some of the posts by pastors and Christian celebrities surrounding the latest event, and tells you the two things you should look for when something like the mocking of Christianity happens in the public square.   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

We'll also look at Dr. Frank Turek's S.T.O.P. method for Bible study, and why the strategies you learned in elementary school are all you need to understand how to interpret your bible.     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 phrase "prayer closet" is uttered by many in the church and because it is we think it must be biblical. That's the power of repetition. But is going into your prayer closet and quieting your mind the avenue in which God speaks? Is that what Jesus meant when He said, "go into your closet and pray"? (Matt 6:6) Shanda answers the following questions to help us understand how to hear from God:  What does the Bible say about a prayer closet? What does the Bible say about hearing God’s voice.  Is sitting in silence and listening for God’s voice biblical?  This is a listener requested episode and if you have a question you want Shanda to answer, send it to hello@shandafulbright.com.

Last month, a young Haitian missionary couple were killed in the field. A lot of people condemned them for being in a dangerous country where their lives were at risk, saying they had no business being there. The real question is: is Christianity comfortable? Are we supposed to pick and choose where to take the gospel as long as it's safe and we know it won't cost us anything? Shanda discusses the core of Christianity and why looking for comfortable Christiantiy is dangerous. We look at missionaries who gave their lives for the sake of Christ as well as what Paul said in his epistle to the churches about his own missionary journeys. This episode is both encouraging and convicting as we push past our comfort zone into the uncharted territory of uncomfortable Christianity.      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  

Why do people arrive at their beliefs? Richard Suttles, otherwise known as The Faithiest Atheist, is here to discuss the importance of having civil conversations with people who don't think and believe like you.

We discuss what those are and why it's important to be passionate about what you believe, yet balance it with mutual respect.
