Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly

From the occult into Christianity - Jac Marino Chen shares her testimony of how Jesus saved her from an occult order called The Golden Dawn into a relationship with Him. After a life marred by sexual abuse, addiction to psychadelic drugs and alcohol, Jac found herself unable to wake herself up from the nightmare that had become her life. She went deeper into the new age and ended up in the occult, studying ancient mysticism, egyptian magic and interacting with demonic entities in the spirit realm. Though she followed this path and was initiated into a magical occult order that practiced sorcery in a freemason lodge, God had other plans for how her life would turn out.

Children have a right to a mother and father. Them Before Us seeks to prioritize the rights of children in the culture and courtroom, the personal and the public. What a basic, foundational concept... but one that's been lost in the current cultural stream of thought that adult desires trump any possible right a child may have. From gay marriage to the transgender movement to surrogacy and designer babies, Katy Faust applies a strong biblical ethic of protecting children and their rights. Them Before Us strives to put children before adults in every conversation about marriage and family.  Listen in!  Them Before Us website Them Before Us Book TODAY'S SPONSORS ARE: SO SIMPLE SIGHT WORDS: Get 20% off with code KINDLED Follow them: @sosimplesightwords ************** ALONGSIDE THEM: Get $5 off with code KINDLED5 Follow them: @alongsidethem ************** CORNERSTONE CURRICULUM: Get 5% off with code KINDLED Follow them: @cornerstonecurriculum Do you want to advertise on Kindled?

Ashley and I accidentally stumbled onto a very hot topic on Instagram when we both brought it up a couple months ago on the platform.  We have joined together to have a conversation on what we've learned - and what concerns us - after hundreds of hours of research.  Gentle Parenting is a popular secular parenting philosophy that has been growing in popularity within the Christian church. But is it biblical? Many Christians who practice gentle parenting argue that it is. Ashley Kintzel and I unpack our primary concerns with the philosophy and identify incongruencies with gentle parenting as compared with scripture's charge for parents and children. Tune in as we discuss!  Ashley Kintzel on instagram Haley on instagram TODAY'S SPONSORS ARE:  SO SIMPLE SIGHT WORDS: Get 20% off with coupon code KINDLED Follow them: @sosimplesightwords ************** ALONGSIDE THEM: Get $5 off with coupon code KINDLED5  Follow them: @alongsidethem ************** Do you want to advertise on Kindled?
