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.
The Curious Case of Benjaman Kyle
This week Joy dissects the curious case of Benjaman Kyle—a man who woke up behind a dumpster in 2004 and couldn't remember his name, or where he had been for the previous 21 years of his life. Good samaritans embark on a mission to help him find his identity. He ends up all over the news, on Dr. Phil, and with groups all over the country wanting to help. But did Benjaman want help?
Justice, Science, & The Death Penalty
This week Summer talks the Cameron Todd Willingham case. Willingham was put to death for setting his house on fire, resulting in the death of his three children. But his case wasn't cut and dry. His Led Zeppelin posters turned the public's opinion against him. Once a world-renowned fire scientist got involved, the evidence that put Willingham away became heavily circumspect. So what do we do in a world where justice is desired, vengeance is common, the courts are corrupt, and "science" can't always be trusted?
Misunderstanding God’s Presence, Essential Oils, & How to Love God By Eating Twinkies
Someone presented an interesting question to Joy: Can God be in the presence of sin? So we dive into what that particular question is in reference to, what we know about God's holiness, omnipresence, omniscience, and Summer talks tabernacle things. Then we answer an adorable voicemail with a question about essential oils, and we follow up on some concerns about our episode on food with Douglas Wilson.
Smash the Patriarchy: How Men Helped Create Feminism & What To Do About it
This week we want to get real with you about the Patriarchy. It's out there, and you can fight it, but are you even sure what you're fighting for? If the Bible says women must obey their husbands, and their husband is abusive, where does that leave women? Are we willing to admit that the first wave of feminists were responding to large-scale abuses by men? The answer is yes, and we are about to explain why!
Women Behind the Pulpit: What Does the Bible Say?
We do not believe that women can be pastors because Scripture tells us as much. But let's be honest, a lot of us hold to this view "because Scripture says so." Scripture saying so is the number reason to do or not to do something. While we believe that wholeheartedly, in the very gender-confused and feminist-saturated culture we live in, it is not enough to know what you believe—you must also know why you believe it. So that is why this week, we are taking a very short amount of time to explain the why's, and answer some common objections.
Confessions of the Food Catholic
Coming to the table of the Lord in peace with one another is a huge deal, and our bodies are supposed to be spent in service to the Lord. How do we balance all of these things? Pastor Doug Wilson shares some edifying Biblical wisdom on how not to be stuck in bondage to your next meal.
