Episode 57: Teaching Your Kids the Chew and Spit Method
Chapter 3 of our first book, Mama Bear Apologetics, describes the “Chew and Spit” method. In the chapter, we write, “We don’t need to train our children to be picky when it comes to what they feed their bodies—they do this on their own. But we do have to train them to be discerning about […]The post MBA Episode 57: Teaching Your Kids the Chew and Spit Method appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

Episode 56: A Conversation with an Almost Witch: Amy Davison Shares About Her Experiences with Wicca
Did you know that before Amy was a Mama Bear, that she was almost a witch?!?! Yeah, I didn’t either, until we had a conversation last July at Hillary’s house. Thank You God for pursuing her and wooing her back! I can’t imagine where Mama Bear would be without her. We’re changing things up for […]The post MBA Episode 56: A Conversation with an Almost Witch: Amy Davison Shares About Her Experiences with Wicca appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

Episode 55: The Art of Disagreeing Agreeably
Let’s all make a pact, Mama Bears, that in a world gone mad…we don’t add to the madness. You may remember our recent Daily Discipleship videos about disagreeing well (you can watch them here), but we didn’t say all we wanted to about the topic in those videos, so Hillary and Amy decided to talk […]The post MBA Episode 55: The Art of Disagreeing Agreeably appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

Episode 54: Linguistic Theft: What It Is, How It Works, and WHY Your Kids Need to Know About It
If you read the Mama Bear Apologetics book, you are likely familiar with the term “linguistic theft.” Hillary wishes she’d been able to include much more on that topic in the book, so in today’s podcast, Hillary and Amy are going to address the subject, because this is something that is taking our kids (and […]The post MBA Episode 54: Linguistic Theft: What It Is, How It Works, and WHY Your Kids Need to Know About It appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

Episode 52: Doubting Dawkins – Oh, Nuts! What Do Whale Testicles Have to Do With Evolution?
We took a break from our Dawkins series to discuss the racial tensions that have been building in our world (listen here), but we’re back with part 10 of our ongoing talk about Dawkins’s book, Outgrowing God.

Episode 51: We Will Not Be Divided: Grieving with Those Who Grieve, and the Necessary Process of Building Kingdom Community
I (Hillary) titled this podcast/blog about a thousand times because I couldn’t quite figure out how to summarize our main message. The messy art of kingdom community? No. I hate the word messy. It’s so misused. (But this topic is legit “messy” if there ever were one.) Grieving with those who grieve? Yes, but that’s […]The post MBA Episode 51: We Will Not Be Divided: Grieving with Those Who Grieve, and the Necessary Process of Building Kingdom Community appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

Episode 49: The Unexpected Blessings of COVID
Whenever we turn on the TV these days, it feels like we’re being bombarded with bad news. Because of that, we decided to record this “chaser” episode of the Mama Bear Apologetics podcast. While the Covid-19 pandemic is something we should take seriously, we wanted to point out that we have also been surrounded by […]The post MBA Episode 49: The Unexpected Blessings of COVID appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.
