Her Faith Inspires Podcast

How many times do you hit snooze on your alarm clark in the morning? It's usually our to-do list that keeps us up at night, but the exhaustion and loss of ambition that keeps us from getting up in the morning. How do we strike a balance between getting things done and knowing when to rest? Reagan Rose, author and founder of Redeeming Productivity, is on the show to discuss the biblical view of productivity. He guides us into the do's and don'ts of work, people pleasing, and why our ambition to get more done should be for the glory of God.

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 is an ICU nurse and stood against the mainstream narrative we heard again and again over the last few years. She advocates for common sense, critical thinking, and why compromising the truth for comfort does not bring lasting peace. Rita talks about the price she paid for standing for truth, and why she doesn't regreat a minute of it even though it wasn't alwasy easy. She will encourage you to do the same.

What is evil? Most think it's green monsters, murderers, and masked men with chainsaws. Sure, there is a spectrum of evil deeds we can classify as bad or worse, but we first have to identify what evil is. Next, we move onto the infatuation with evil in movies, kids toys, and the media. And finally, we discuss whether or not Christians should celebrate Halloween.

Do you know how to think? Most people aren't taught how to think because our educational system is set up to tell you what to think. Can you catch fallacies in logic when you hear them? Cathy Gibbens teaches people how to think by taking logical fallacies and making them easy for you to identify using real life scenarios. We talk about the need for good thinking in today's cutlure and why knowing how to think will keep you from being brainwashed by the messages of the culture.

In today's episode, Shanda talks about how growing up in California challenged her as a wife, mom, and overall woman of God. 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.

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 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.
