Within the last […]The post MBA Episode 34: What in the World is Happening to Our Christian Leaders? appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

You can’t get around it. There are rainbows on everything your kids see this month, from the parking lots to the barista aprons. So how do we address this with our kids?

I know you’ll love her as much as we do. […]The post MBA 33: How to Talk About Pride Month With Your Kids (but first meet Amy!) appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

Laurie would not describe herself as a victim. Laurie is a lawyer and a survivor of sexual assault. A former liberal feminist, Laurie rediscovered the truths of God, recommitted her life to looking at everything through the lens of Scripture, and is now the president of Women in Apologetics. I can think of no one better to […]The post MBA 32: How Should Christians Respond to the #MeToo Movement? appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

Social Media was abuzz with the recent Supreme Court Decision overturning the Colorado Civil Rights Commission decision. In 2012, a baker, Jack Phillips, declined to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. He stated that he would make them any other cake they wanted, just not a wedding cake. His religious convictions prevented him from […]The post MBA 31: What Really Happened with the Colorado Baker Supreme Court Decision? appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

If your newsfeed is anything like mine, you might have seen a few posts last week asking if the new California Bill 2943 will “ban the Bible.” Folks, let’s not jump onto bandwagons before we have properly checked them out. I’m not denying that the bill itself is deeply concerning. In fact, if enforced as written, […]The post MBA 30: What is California Bill 2943 and What does it ACTUALLY say?

Do you sometimes wonder if bad things happen to you because you “don’t have enough faith?” If you do, chances are, you have heard a sermon or two (or more) based on the “gospel” of health and wealth. God wants you to be healthy! God will heal every time. . . as long as you […]The post MBA 29: Does God Heal Every Time if we Ask in the “Right Way?” appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

Boy did we bite off a lot to chew in this episode! For all you moms out there, raise your hand if you have heard this question. (Aunt Hillary raising her hand…) I have heard this question from children, from adults, from basically anyone who has thought about the origins of our universe. The issue […]The post MBA 27: Who Made God? appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

Events like the Las Vegas shooting and now the Florida school shooting inevitably bring questions to people’s minds. Where was God? How could He let such a thing happen? For those who have been affected by the shooting, there are no words we can say that can assuage the grief. There is no answer that […]The post MBA 26: Why Does God Allow Mass Shootings? appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.

There is an interesting phenomenon which the late Herman Kahn described, where “those with engineering or sociology training [are unable to] understand certain issues which they would have been able to understand if they had not had this training.” Kahn called it “educated incapacity,” but the idea was originally taken from economist Thorstein Veblen, who […]The post MBA 25: How Educated Do You Have to Be to Identify Nonsense? appeared first on Mama Bear Apologetics.
