  • One of My Favorites!

    I’ve really enjoyed listening to the podcast! I’m starting to think I need to actually sit down and take notes though instead of just listening to it in the car! 😄

    I love the excitement and passion for God’s Word that is expressed in the podcast. Very encouraging!

Listen Up! LIVE from NRB
Q: What does it mean to take heed how you hear in a practical sense?
It means actively listening, asking God for understanding, and sharing what you learn with others rather than letting it fade away.
Listen Up! LIVE from NRB
Q: Molly, are you ready to dive into Luke 8 with us?
Yes, let's break down how hearing the Word and putting it into practice changes the trajectory of our lives and ministries.
Lamplighter Theatre Genesis Story - Part 2
Q: So Mark, to kind of recap, you got a book, talked about how a husband treats a wife is what you got out of it. Recap that for me.
Mark explains that the central insight from the book is how prioritizing and honoring one's spouse translates into healthier family dynamics and personal transformation, which aligns with the Lamplighter mission of building character and strengthening relationships.
Having Grace with Young Grumblers
Q: What is the core shift in approach to parenting you're sharing here?
The core shift is moving from a punitive, perfection-obsessed method to one rooted in grace, mercy, and guiding the child's heart toward God, allowing the Holy Spirit to convict rather than the parent forcing compliance.
Sweetness of Speech feat Jake Phillips
Q: Could you explain more about not understanding things in the moment?
Jake illustrates that there are many situations where we may not understand God's actions immediately but can trust that He has a plan that will be revealed in time.
