S4 37: Challenging Myths About Motherhood with Elizabeth Schlueter

What is motherhood all about? Elizabeth Schlueter helps us perceive the beautiful truth about motherhood amid cultural extremes. She joins us this week to challenge common myths about motherhood and cast a Christian vision for the beauty of self-giving love and sacrifice. Whether you're married or single, raising children or not, you'll be encouraged to form a virtuous life centered around sacrificial love and committed relationships. Canavox.com Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be by Timothy P.

Without a mind that's shaped by God's Word, we'll struggle to champion the truth, beauty, and goodness of God's Kingdom in this time and place. To address this problem, Michael Craven, Vice President of Equipping and Mobilization at the Colson Center has written a brand-new, free e-book called The Christian Mind: Its Necessity to Christian Relevance and Renewal. It's a primer on developing a thoroughly Christian mind for the sake of the Kingdom. If you want a more robust faith that actually shapes how you live in the world today, or if you're wondering why cultivating a Christian mind really matters, you should read this book.

At this event, Alisa Childers and Tim Barrnett will help us understand what deconstruction really is, why it's influencing so many, and how the Church can help those who are wrestling with their faith. You'll be equipped with practical tools to counter the influence of deconstruction and pursue those who are veering toward it.

S4 36: Leaving Mormonism, Trusting Christ With Megan Donahue

Megan Donahue grew up in a Mormon family whose roots reach all the way back to the founding of Mormonism. Though she sincerely believed as a child, she was discouraged from thoroughly investigating what she had been taught. Eventually, Megan's beliefs unraveled as she grappled with long-held questions and the burden of works-based religion. Through the mess of doubt, she stepped away from everything she had ever known and asked God to show her the truth. She joins us this week to tell her story of leaving Mormonism and learning to trust Christ.

S4 34: Seeing God in Tiny Moments with Ned Bustard

This week we're joined by author and illustrator Ned Bustard. Ned lost his wife Leslie to cancer last year, but her beautiful spirit and faith are captured in the new book, Tiny Thoughts That I've Been Thinking. Leslie saw God's goodness in life's smallest details and infused ordinary moments with Christ's light. Come hear about her legacy of faith and the exercise of trusting God's plan in the face of grief and uncertainty. www.WorldsEndImages.com www.PoeticUnderpinnings.com www.SquareHaloBooks.com Tiny Thoughts That I've Been Thinking: Selected Writings of Leslie Anne Bustard edited by Ned Bustard or find it on Square Halo Books Every Moment Holy by Douglas McKelvey and Illustrated by Ned Bustard Square Halo Books Podcast The Habit Podcast with Jonathan Rogers Isaac Newton's letters You Are What You Love by James K Smith Knowing God by J.I.

S4 31. Remembering and Rehearsing the Gospel with Bishop Michael Williams

We are forgetful people. But as we rehearse the story of the Gospel together through redemptive spiritual rhythms, we can remember and be shaped by truth. As we commemorate Christ's death and resurrection this Holy Week, Bishop Michael Williams joins us to talk about the story of Easter, the Church calendar, and how God forms us through participation in the life of the Church. The Benedict Option by Rod Dreher Christian Theology: An Introduction by Alister E. McGrath Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution by Carl R. Trueman Deep Anglicanism by Gerald McDermott After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man by Michael Ward Death on a Friday Afternoon by Richard John Newhouse Doubts and hard questions are a welcome part of the Christian life. But many young Christians today are being encouraged to "deconstruct" their faith. Culture becomes the standard of truth instead of Scripture, and many young believers walk away from faith altogether. To help the Church offer a better way to those who are deconstructing, Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett have written The Deconstruction of Christianity. They define what deconstruction really is, why it's appealing to so many, and why it's harmful. They also equip us to love those who are deconstructing by welcoming the hard questions while also upholding truth. This month, get a copy of The Deconstruction of Christianity by giving a gift of any amount to the Colson Center at colsoncenter.org/swdeconstruction If you've listened for a while, you've probably heard me talk about the Colson Fellows program and what a transformational experience it has been in my life and the lives of many fellow believers.

S4 28: Don't Settle for a Small Worldview With Michael Craven

Christians have the privilege of participating with God as He makes all things new. But many believers have unwittingly settled for a small worldview and a privatized faith that has little effect on the culture around them. That's why the Colson Center is committed to helping Christians develop a Christian worldview that shapes all of life—not just Sunday mornings. The primary way we do this is through the Colson Fellows program. This week, I'm joined by my dear colleague, Michael Craven, Dean of the Colson Fellows. Tune in to hear his story and get a vision for the necessity, beauty, and transforming power of embracing a comprehensive Christian worldview.
