    Your hosting Sam Storms shows you obviously lack discernment. What a shame.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Life and Legacy of Harriet Tubman (Shar Walker)
Q: When did you first become interested in Harriet Tubman and what drew you to tell her story for a middle-grade audience?
I was drawn to the humanity and the vulnerability in Harriet's life, not just her legendary acts. The aim was to be honest about the realities of slavery while making it relatable and age-appropriate for young readers, and to connect those themes to today's context in a way that emphasizes faith, courage, and ordinary acts of service.
How and Why to Read the Bible as One Story (Greg Gilbert)
Q: Why should we see the Bible as one story rather than a grab bag of verses?
Because the Bible has one divine author and a continuous through-line; recognizing this helps readers connect themes across books and view the narrative as a single redemptive arc culminating in Christ.
Practical Tips to Help You Pray More (Courtney Reissig)
Q: How has technology impacted our prayer lives?
Reissig argues that technology may create distractions and cultivate anxiety, leading us to seek answers online rather than turning to God in prayer.
Practical Tips to Help You Pray More (Courtney Reissig)
Q: How do we fight against feelings of shame about our prayer life?
Reissig suggests that acknowledging the difficulty of prayer as a discipline can alleviate shame and remind us that being Christian does not equate to always feeling good about it.
Practical Tips to Help You Pray More (Courtney Reissig)
Q: Why start with the confession that prayer is hard for you?
Reissig emphasizes that her struggle with prayer is an act of honesty and many others likely share this experience.
