Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly

Abortion is the great, unexamined issue of our time. When we look at the controversies swirling in America, we see that underneath them lurks this issue of abortion, which is the driving force of what is going on, even when it is not mentioned. Danielle and I unpack some of this critical and crucial conversation. We discuss why the conversation on abortion is changing, how information and science is on our side, and dive into a discussion of how many "pro-life" Christians are leaving the traditionally pro-life Republican party to vote Democrat for a number of reasons.  The sponsor is Prepdish.

Today I'm welcoming the hosts of my FAVORITE podcast, Just Thinking, back to the show!  This time, we're talking about TRUTH! Does it change - how is it defined by scripture, how do we speak and live it boldly even in the face of intense opposition and hate?  That's what they're here to share about today and I promise you will LOVE this episode. It's straight fire.  The sponsor of this episode is Kindled Firestarters! That's my Patreon Community where I share BONUS episodes each Friday. These are additional episodes to my regular show, Kindled. Join us in there for $10/mo to get tons MORE great content from myself, and sometimes, unaired clips from my amazing guests. 

What do we do when everything we thought we knew and believe is called into question? And how do we work through doubts without going all the way to unbelief?  Alisa Childers shares her deconstruction story and how she found her way back to faith in Christ and the truths of historic Christianity.  Sponsor: H.

  Politics. What are they? And what *should* they be?   This discussion is one many of us have been told is something “polite people” avoid. But judging by the state of relationships in 2020, what we desperately need is help understanding how to think about this biblically as well as discuss ideas (and disagree) without cancelling people.  In this episode, Meagan and I discuss what politics are according to scripture and investigate a new ideology on the left she has dubbed “critical political theory.” If you’ve been wondering why people are cancelling grandma for differing views, this will help explain why.   Episode sponsor: Prepdish 

The term "Pro All Life" has exploded onto the scene surrounding the abortion discussion - especially amongst Christians.  But is this term truly pro ALL life? Or is there more to what's being said when someone proclaims they are pro-all-life?  I examine what the Bible says about life and what our response should be as Christians.  This is a special release of our FIRESTARTERS episodes which are weekly BONUS episodes available to our Patreon community for $10/month.

Who are we really and who do we believe ourselves to be? Do we need to go "find ourselves" or "recover our lost self" or "uncover our core self" or travel "the road back to you?" There are SO MANY messages coming at us left and right, front and back, every day. How do you know who you are and if you're really even yourself? It's exhausting to consider, isn't it?  These are the questions we are examining today from both a biblical and secular worldview. Our identity is central and foundational to how we live. It's also something God has a lot to say about - especially after He makes us new creations and we are made alive in Christ.  Natalie Gaines and I (@stopandconsider) discuss and it's so rich and full of encouragement.  Join Kindled's Patreon Community to get a BONUS episode each week!  Episode Sponsor: H.

Samuel Sey and I discuss justice and examine it from both a Biblical and secular worldview. A few of the topics we discuss:  What are the justice issues we are seeing in the world today? What is a biblical definition of justice?  How does the world define justice?  Is disparity evidence of injustice? What does God say about it in the Bible and is it relevant to the issues we're experiencing today? This episode is amazingly practical and truth-filled.

What is the law according to scripture? And what does the Gospel have to do with it? Everything, it turns out.  Theologian Krista Bontrager of "All the Things" Podcast and I discuss how the Bible explains our relationship to the law and God's provision in Christ. We also compare and contrast this perspective with how the world views law and its limitations to their freedoms and happiness.  This episode is SO HELPFUL in understanding much of the language and discussion around law, justice and other hot topics being discussed in the church and culture.  Sponsor: Prepdish - sign up for our 2 week free trial and make mealtime stress-free and healthy! 

The first episode of Kindled's Christianity & Culture series!  In this episode, we ask the questions "Who is God?" and "Who is man?" and compare a biblical with a secular worldview answer to those questions.  Jeff Medders, author of Humble Calvinism and other books, joins host Haley Williams.  Shownotes at www.KindledPodcast.com

How do we as Christians respond in light of cancel culture and ultimatums to either "comply or die" like was shared by @designmom on Instagram?  This episode explores the concept of politicide, cancel culture and what we as Christians are bound to by allegiance to Christ alone.  To get future Firestarters, join the Patreon community at www.patreon.com/kindledpodcast
