Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly

With Pride Month right around the corner, it's important for Christian parents to be prepared to engage with their kids on this topic. Many parents avoid this conversation altogether or hope their kids won't notice - but is that really the approach we should take as we equip our children to live as salt and light in Babylon? They need more than our hopes that they will go one more year without asking hard questions about all the rainbows they are seeing. In this episode, I share the structure for the conversation and break it down in a way that will help you not dread this conversation with your kids, and dare I say even enjoy it as you get to share the beauty of God's design and truth with them. I break this down for ages 3-18 and will share tips that help you adapt it to your children. KEY SCRIPTURES Genesis 1:27 tells us God made humans male and female. Prov. 14:12 tells us that a way seems right to man but the end is death. Romans 1:18-38 gives a vivid picture of humankind refusing to acknowledge God and giving him proper glory.  Throughout the Old Testament in places like Leviticus 18, Leviticus 20, Genesis, and later on in Judges, but also in the New Testament in Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 6, and 1 Timothy 1, it is made very clear that homosexual activity is sinful. In 1 Corinthians 6 and 1 Timothy 1, Paul lists homosexual activity along with numerous other sins: revelry, drunkenness, and all sorts of other sins, some of which are minor, some major; some less significant, some more significant; some even heinous sins. In Romans 1, however, Paul identifies homosexual sin as a more heinous sin, being that it is contrary to nature.  SPONSORS: Learning Well Journal: Use code KINDLED for $10 off an annual subscription (available in US and Canada) DIY Family Films Annie's Kit Clubs Get half off your first shipment at this link!

A big conversation has exploded online around the question of, "Should women teach theology to other women?" Titus 2:3-5 is interpreted to mean women should ONLY teach women the list of items in those verses (loving husbands, raising children, etc.). Join my husband and I as we discuss what scripture says and means by what it says. We'll look at some of the arguments for and against and examine the risks of this thinking as well as the goodness of God's design for the family led by male headship.

Sharing my thoughts on what is happening at Asbury. How do we discern and quantify a "revival"? Should this be called one? How many times has this happened before - and why has every time been in February or March? All this and more. 

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.
