Her Faith Inspires Podcast

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and with the Israel-Hamas war in the spotlight in recent months, many claim it's a religion of peace. Is that true? Laura Zifer Powell, an Islamic Specialist with Women in Apologetics, is on the show to talk about the origin of Islam. We discuss the "Queers for Palestine" and the reality of that statement, as well as TikTokers converting to Islam after reading the Quran. Will Muslims eventually take over the world? Listen to this powerful conversation and learn how to respond to the claim that Islam is a peaceful religion.      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  

Do you say what you mean and mean what you say? When you tell someone you're going to do something, do you follow through? As we begin a new year, there's something to be said about being a person of your word. In fact, if you've made goals and desire change in the new year, you've already given your word that you will do what you plan in order to accomplish those goals. We'll discuss what the Bible says about keeping your word. We'll also discuss why your word is attached to your reputation, and what integrity really means.

Do you make new year's resolutions? Most resolutions are forgotten by the third week of January. There is a better way to make lasting and positive changes and it all starts with goal setting and planning for success.

She gives you tips on how to plan for their success and what you can do to take Bible study and studying new concepts to a deeper level. This episode will get your new year started off on the right track!     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  

As you get ready to start a new year, if there is one spiritual goal worth making it's to nurture your prayer life. But how do you pray? Some think the Lord's prayer is meant to be memorized and recited, but Jesus gave it to us as a model for prayer. Shanda will teach you how to pray through each section of the Lord's prayer and tell you what to do when you don't feel like praying. Our prayer lives are too easy to neglect, but there is a way to be devoted to praying and talking to 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  

What are your Christmas traditions? Traditions are passed on from one generation to the next and binds families throughout generations. Shanda talks about the importance of traditions and how they help adjust with major life changes such as moving and deaths in the family. You'll also hear about the appeal to tradition fallacy. Has someone in your family ever said you can't change plans because this is the way it's always been done? Recognizing this fallacy will help you prepare for conversations like this.      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  

It's easy to see that Christmas is commercialized in our culture, but does that mean Christians shouldn't celebrate it? What about the Christians who celebrate Christmas and do Santa with their kids? Is that a sin? Shanda talks about Christmas myths and legends and the importance of a Christian's abiliity to explain why the virgin birth doesn't fall into either of these genres. Finally, Shanda touches on the "Christmas is pagan" debate and how to respond.        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  

God with man is what makes Christianity unique to any other religion. To dwell among us is the heart of God. In the Old Testament, we see David's desire to build a house for God. But even David understood that no house could hold the presence of God. When Jesus walked the earth, God took on flesh and dwelt among us. The angel proclaimed, "Immanuel, God with us." It was a concept too great to fathom. Now that Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, His desire is to still dwell among us, but the temple is not the same. Shanda talks about the temple of God in the Old Testament, New Testament, and today. Immanuel, God with us will mean so much more to you than ever before.      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 important is Genesis to Christianity? It depends on who you ask. Many Christians believe Adam and Eve weren't real historical figures. Some don't believe Genesis is foundational to our understanding of Christianity. Albert Leon is on the show to discuss Genesis 1-11. We break up these chapters into: Creation, Fall 1 (Adam and Eve), Fall 2 (The Flood), Fall 3 (Babel). Get your note taking tools out. It's going to be a great discussion and educational too.    Follow @afoolandhisbible on Instagram and Facebook   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 the indicators of the victim mentality? Excuses and blame go as far back as Genesis 3 and we are all susceptible to it. But what happens when we nurture a culture of people with a victim mentality? We get a thankless generation. Paul told Timothy that the last days would be difficult because people are thankless. With the rise of critical race theory and an oppressor/oppressed view of society, it is no wonder more people see themsevles as victims. Shanda takes you through scripture to learn how to keep your eyes on God's blessings in a thankless generation.   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   Baseline Apologetics: Laying the Biblical Foundation For Truth and Morality: https://shandafulbright.com/shop/

Does the Bible tell us to love ourselves? Many Christian women believe it does. They always use the analogy that you have to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others with theirs. While the Bible does not promote self-loathing, it does talk to us about loving God and loving others. Shanda also talks about how to properly do self-care in a culture that is all about me, myself, and I. Listen to this archived episode and be reminded that self-love is a lie!      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
