Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly

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

What does Christian faithfulness look like when life feels unpredictable, hard, or just plain ordinary? We want to follow Jesus, but it’s easy to become more focused on our present situation than on a long view of faithfulness.  That's what Glenna and I are discussing in today's episode!  The sponsor is Jiobit | Use the code TRACKTOSCHOOL to get $15 off your tracker.

THIS IS PART 2. Listen to Part 1 if you haven't yet. | Do you feel like you're the only one who knows and believes the truth these days? I get it - I've been there, and AM there, frequently. In this Firestarters episode I want to help you get some perspective on how you can assess certain situations you find yourself in as well as assess your own heart to discern if you should speak up or stay quiet.

Motherhood is full and glorious - but also filled with trials and suffering. If we don't understand the purpose of our motherhood, we will get lost in everyday difficulties and no way to reclaim perspective.  That's what I discuss today with September McCarthy, mother of 10 and homeschool mama. She has a unique perspective of generational motherhood with children spanning from age 28 to 8 years old. She has grandchildren and children of her own still in her home, affording her the perspective of a multi-generational mother and seeing how unique and beautiful our purpose is in God's kingdom. She shares so much wisdom and encouragement for those of us in the trenches. No matter what season of motherhood you are in, you will be encouraged by her testimony of God's grace in her nearly 30 years of being a mother.  Shownotes at kindledpodcast.com Sponsor: Jiobit | TRACKTOSCHOOL to get $15 off your tracker.

In this episode I chat with Guest Francie Winslow about the power of sex in marriage to bring not just connection but union under God as one. Francie discusses the challenges we face to creating connection in our marriage and shares her story.

The murder of George Floyd on May 25 sent the United States into a nationwide cultural discussion on racism and justice.  There are many voices offering many solutions to the problems that ail society. But how do we look at this issue as Christians? What answer does the Bible have for the sin and evil we see in society in both individuals and our systems of government?  How do we respond as Christians to the call of the world to "divest of our whiteness" and embrace the narrative offered by Critical Race Theory that so many (including many Christians) are letting guide the discussion? This is what Monique and I are discussing today. Monique is the founder of the Center for Biblical Unity and a Racial Unity Advocate. Shownotes available at www.kindldedpodcast.com Sponsor: H.
