Her Faith Inspires Podcast

Ignorance is the absence of knowledge. But there are Christians who keep themselves in a state of willful ignorance because if you don't know, you don't have to address the hard cultural topics we face today. Is there neutral ground for the Christian? Kelli from Women in Apologetics shares the cost of speaking the truth and why the commitment to the truth happens long before you ever have to pay the price. She is a former competitive athlete, olympic weightlifter, MMA fighter, and crossfitter. Her current health crisis caused her to re-evaluate how to suffer well and now she encourages other Christian women and teens to suffer well because we never suffer in vain.

Do you know why first impressions are important? Because if you dress up and look put together, you're more likely to convince people that looking good means you are good. This is called the halo effect and it's a bias we see in 1 Samuel when God accuses Samuel of choosing a king based upon his appearance. Everyone has biases, including you. Shanda talks about what biases are, how to identify them, and why they are a barrier to good thinking. She shares her own experiences with biases and how humility is needed to face them.

What version of the Bible is the most accurate and which one should you read? Why are some Bible verses missing from certain translations? Many people say the Bible can't be trusted because it's been changed over and over throughout the years, just like the game of telephone is played. Is that true? Shanda answers all of these questionss and talks about how to choose a Bible that is right for you.

What is with the "end times" and the evidence we're living in the last days? Are we really living in the last days and does the moral decline of culture prove it? Albert and Shanda continue their conversation about the unseen realm and spiritual warfare. They discuss the very real part Christians play in the unseen realm, even if you don't feel like you do. The reality is God chose Christians as His temple and for that reason, your prayers can hinder the advancement of the enemy. Listen to this very interesting conversation.

How often do you think about the unseen realm? We can get so caught up in living in the moment, tending to our immediate needs and desires, that we often forget there is a spiritual realm we are part of. Albert Leon is back on the show to discuss the unseen realm, and we dive into the book by the late Michael Heiser as well as passages of Scripture that shed light on this topic.

Some topics are heavily debated by Christains and when it comes to drinking alcohol, the debate can get heated. The real question isn't, "Did Jesus drink wine?" And it's also not, "Did Jesus turn water into grape juice?" Shanda dives into the real issue when we talk about the freedom we have in Christ. She also talks about who we should consider when drinking alcohol. This episode may ruffle some feathers, but that's not the intention. While we do want to be agreeable, the most important issue is that we are truthful when it comes to what the Bible tells us to do.

Shanda's husband, Dean, is on the show this week to talk about why men rose up to boycott Bud Light, why men like Andrew Tate and David Goggins are popular among young men, and why families who try and substitute dads are missing a huge part of training for kids. They discuss why men and women compliment each other in parenting roles, and answer the question: do women "tame" men? They also discuss what it's like raising boys in a culture that says everything manly is toxic, and why they don't teach their boys to be masculine but how to be men of God.

Does it matter how much you weigh, what you eat, or if you workout? Does God care how we take care of our bodies? Body positivity is promoted by our culture and that really means it doesn't matter what you look like. Even if you're overweight and your BMI is in the unhealthy zone, you should celebrate the way you look and so should everyone else. And although the Bible does not place value on us by how much we weigh or what we look like, does that mean God doesn't care about a healthy lifestyle? Robin Rhine McDonald is a faith-based holistic health coach and she walks us through what the Bible says about taking care of our bodies and why it's important. We discuss what the Bible says about physical health and healing. The body is not less than the mind and soul. We talk about how the calling and purpose God places in our lives is closely connected with how we steward our bodies.

What are toxic relationships, and as Christians do we cut toxic people out of our lives? There are some Chrstian influencers on social media who tout the message of the culture when it comes to "toxic" relationships. If the people in your life do not cheer you on, clap along, or make you feel insecure, are you really supposed to cut them out of your life? Does the Bible tell us anything about toxic relationships? Shanda shares some of her own relationship experiences on this episode and looks at what the Bible says about friendships. If you are struggling with relationships that challenge you, irritate you, or downright frustrate you, Shanda is going to take a dive into the Bible's guidance on how to endure and how we need to think about relationships.

If Christ didn't rise from the dead Christianity is a lie. The entire religion is based on the fact that Christ rose and if He didn't we are, as Paul says, the most to be pitied. Shanda takes you through the resurrection myths often touted by historians and others who say that although the disciples truly believed Christ rose there are natural explanations for what really happened that third day. How can Christians celebrate Resurrection Sunday with confidence that Christ has indeed risen? You can, and Shanda explains why.

You've likely been accused of being closed-minded if you say you believe in God. Arriving at a belief in today's postmodern culture is often seen as ignorant and unintelligent.

She will also take you through scripture where Jesus correlated a closed mind with a hard heart.

What happens when ONE person takes a stand when no one else will? There aren't a lot of brave ONEs out there who defy the popular narrative and become a target because they stand up and speak the truth. Our culture nurtures acceptance and authenticity as a way to show love and respect, but do you have to accept the popular narrative in order to prove you're loving? Humans crave acceptance. We want to belong. That's one reason it's so difficult to break away from the crowd. It's easy to go with the flow. Shanda talks about the crowd and the dangers of blending in. When you read the New Testament, the crowd is a character itself because no one is known in the crowd. Everyone in the crowd moves at the same pace, shouts the same words, and doesn't take a stand on anything. She shares real life stories of those in recent days who have taken a stand and gives examples of those in the Bible who did too. And though no one knows the results of the stance they take at the time, they always have one thing in common. Can you be the ONE?

As Christians, we often assume because we show up to church we are developing a biblical worldview. Parents assume that because they send their kids to a Christian school, their children are developing a biblical worldview. However, studies show worldview development is taught, not caught. Elizabeth is a former Christian school teacher and she quickly learned that many of her students coming from a Christian home had a syncretized (blended) worldview. It was more like Chrisitianity + a set of beliefs from a secular worldview. She wasn't satisfied with what she saw and knew the Lord was drawing her to create a curriculum for children that integreated a biblical worldview.

If you speak positive words over yourself, will you begin to believe them? Does what we say make us more positive or do our words come from a deeper place that cannot be changed by mere words? People who speak words of affirmations over themselves believe if they speak them enough, they will end up changing their own minds. Declarations are when people speak words in order to take possession or control over something. Shanda talks about the power of our words using affirmations and declarations. If you need a little more positivity in your life, Shanda will give you some advice on where the true power of our words comes from and the words you should rely on to better yourself.

Every few months it seems like a well-known Christian leaves the Faith. It's as if there's a deconstruction movement and those who jump on the trend are applauded for their bravery. Leaving "toxic Christianity" for a more inclusive and passive Jesus sounds appealing and it seems to be catching on. David Wolcott has studied Progressive Christianity and knows more about the deconstruction trend than most. He is on the show to discuss why this is poplular in Christianity, why deconstructing isn't always a bad thing, and how you can understand and help those who jump on the deconstruction trend.

The right to life is a fundamental right that preceeds all other rights. Many argue that abortion is a Christian belief and we should keep our opinions out of it. Are they right? Scott Klusendorf is the best pro-life apologist who coaches pro-life advocates on how to engage with others and defend the unborn. Since the overturning of Roe v Wade, the heat has been turned up and Christians must step up and fight for life.

According to a recent study, more than 50% of American Christians say they share the gospel, however, many Christians don't know what the gospel is. We begin by breaking down what the gospel message is, your responsibility in sharing it with others, and why you can't have the good news without the bad news. So what's the bad news?

Who split the calendar from BC to AD? Who is mentioned by nearly every major religion in the world? Many who claim to be Christians today believe that Jesus is not the only way to Heaven. When it comes down to it Jesus offends many who want to choose any other way but Him to the Father. Shanda revised this listener favorite to explain why Jesus is so offensive but why He is the hope of the world.

There is a difference between the relationship with God that was possible in the Old Testament compared to the relationship possible through Jesus. No one called God father in the Old Testament. The reconciliation offered through Christ made God not only approachable, but made the adoption into His family possible. There is no other religion known to man where God came to His own. And, there is no other religion known to man where God puts Himself in the position as your Father once you accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Christmas is so much more than a manger scene.

Doubt is not neutral. It never stays put. It will draw you further away from God or, if dealt with correctly, doubt can help you become a stronger Christian. However, doubt is something everyone deals with because it is not only a Christian problem - it is a human problem. Shanda reviews Bobby Conway's book Doubting Toward Faith in this episode. She pulls out the most significant struggles Christians have when they doubt, and she lays out the tips given by Bobby to help you move through doubt toward a greater faith in God. This episode is not only for those who doubt, but for those who know others struggling with doubts of their own.

Parenting isn't easy and mom guilt is real. There's no denying most cultural battles today are centered around children and what's best for them. One of the approaches parents are taking is gentle parenting. It's a method that eliminates discipline and focuses on raising independent kids through empthay and understanding. But is that the biblical view of parenting? Haley Williams discusses the biblical approach to parenting and why many lessons parents teach their kids have the possibility for the salvation message, forgiveness, and the hope of restored relationships. This is an encouraging episode and a great reminder for parents as we learn to steer our children in a culture that is growing increasingly hostile toward biblical parenting.

What does it take to be a good wife? This is a question I got from l listener a few weeks ago. Is the Proverbs 31 woman a standard for all women? If so, you might sometimes feel defeated after PInterest fails and Instagram posts of other women who look more put together. But is that what it means to be a good wife? Shanda shares the answer to this question by looking at Proverbs 31 and why some women look at biblical womanhood through the wrong lens.

Sure, unforgiveness roots bitterness and allows the person who wronged you to live inside your head. But that's not the full story. There is a more dangerous reality to withholding forgiveness from others and it's likely no one has told you about it - not even your pastor. Shanda talks about the danger and consequences of refusing to forgive, choosing to hold grudges, and seeking revenge. If every Christian lived by this standard and understood this reality, the world would be a better place.

Denying the truth has consequences, but so does speaking the truth. Which is easier? Rita Rogers understands the consequences for speaking the truth all too well.

She discusses what it's like living in the Bible Belt, and how the recent George Barna study on a biblical worldview of Christians shows where we live might have something to do with the strength of our faith. She goes on to encourage you to be alert and watchful, and why there is no such thing as passivity for the Christian, regardless of where you live. When hard times come upon us, we will either rise to the occassion, or we will bury our heads in the sand.

After watching her husband commit suicide, Jennifer was plunged into an emotional whirlwind. The apologetics training she underwent to equip herself to witness to her husband and reassure him that God exists was the same evidence that anchored her during this time of tragic loss. She had to rely on what she knew instead of what she felt and that is what anchored her. She now speaks and writes to help others learn to defend the faith.

OMG! Jesus Ch$@%&! Oh my God! Some Christians think if they don't say these, text these, or watch movies with these expressions then they aren't taking God's name in vain. While all of this is true, there's so much more to taking God's name in vain than what we say. What if I told you words like OMG doesn't even scratch the surface of what it means to take God's name in vain? Let's talk about what it looks like to take God's name in vain and why He will hold those accountable who do.

Is there a wrong way to study the Bible? Many women desire a depth of theolgy and knowledge of God, but they don't know how to get there. The concensus with many women's ministries is shallow teaching that doesn't get to the heart of most women's hunger to go deeper with God. Sarah Rogers, a pastor's wife and women's minstry leader, is on the show to talk about the right and wrong way to study the Bible and why theology is for women too.

It's the age-old debate - are women permitted to teach/preach in the church? Did Paul really tell women to shut their pie-holes? If you've been on social media, you'll see WOMEN who are equally against women teaching men as men who take this stance are. So who's right? Where does a woman fit into the role of teacher, preacher, and pastor? We're going to take this straight to the Bible and tackle this question.

If you want to bring division to any discussion, talk politics. The culture of Christianity today is so afraid to offend, we've backed out of speaking truth in politics. People will tell you we're not here to create a theocracy so just go with the flow and zip your lip while you're at it. Is that true? Is that the way God has called us to handle policies and government? My undercover guests from the Knight and Rose podcast are on the show today to talk about why Christians must get involved in politics. If there were ever a time in America, the time is now.

People often think that just because they pray, God will answer them. Sometimes prayer is used in the same way as an axe in a "Break glass in case of emergency" scenario; prayer is the last resort. The hard truth is that God doesn't answer everyone's prayers. But there is a reason He doesn't, and that's what we'll talk about today.

Is the Holy Spirit still handing out spiritual gifts? Should we trust when people speak in tongues, have a word from the Lord, or the gift of knowledge?
