Why We Are Cessationists But Still Enjoy Fire
In this episode we explain why we are cessationists—namely, why we believe that the miraculous sign gifts (speaking in tongues, performing miracles, etc.) are no longer in use today. It's not an easy conversation, but hopefully it drives us all to Scripture!
Why Determine If Your Church Is Multiethnic
Last week, The Gospel Coalition published an article describing how to determine if your church is multiethnic. At the behest of the ever-gentlemanly Justin Taylor, Summer read the article several times but remained confused. We are told “how” to determine if your church is maintaining a “spirit” of diversity but we are never told why pastors should spend time analyzing census data to determine if their church is reaching this goal. What is the goal?
Repentance
Scripturally, repentance is both a command and a gift. Culturally, repentance is often a dirty word because by necessity it must be preceded by sin. But do we really live as if that’s the case? How can a clear understanding of repentance help our relationships both horizontally and vertically?
Reckless Worship
This week the girls discuss why worship matters, and the controversy surrounding the song “Reckless Love”.
Biblical Womanhood: Princess or Pioneer?
I don't know about you, but when I hear the phrase "biblical womanhood", I think of women on Twitter who are upset that there are other groups of women who throw Jane Austen parties to celebrate a time when Biblical womanhood was thing. In fact, we don't actually think of Bible verses or strong definitions, or something to strive for—we think of how offended the phrase often makes us. It's truly no wonder, given how confused our generation is about how many genders there are, that the church has drifted toward such animus for the phrase. But we are, after all, the "people of the Book." We believe that God HAS defined gender for us, and not in such a way as to leave us clueless as to what he requires from us. We CAN know what Biblical womanhood is, and we can honor God when we strive to fulfill our roles as he has defined them.
Incrementalism is Like Lipstick on a Pig
The girls are joined for this episode by Zachary Conover, the Communication Director for End Abortion Now. He has been to pro-life conferences, interviewed the major players in the pro-life movement, and travelled (alongside Joy!) to Ireland to help churches fight to keep abortion illegal there. He helps us think through why the Pro-Life Movement has largely been a failure, why incremental legislation is like putting lipstick on a pig (our words, not his), and why Christians should have a radically different position on how to end abortion immediately than many of us actually live out in the voting booth or with our political affiliations.
