  • Really honest and simple

    Ladies, I really enjoy listening to this podcast and that you offer a variety of views on each topic. I recently listened to one of the podcasts about parenting and have a question.

    It seems that so many people either fall into the ditch of family is everything and struggle to be outwardly focused (maybe this happens more as kids get older especially with homeschool families) and let’s be constantly involved in every ministry/church event. We’d like to strike a balance in our home and I would ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why We Can Trust the Resurrection
Q: What would you say to someone who doubts the trustworthiness of the New Testament accounts of the resurrection?
There are multiple independent sources (Paul, the four Gospels) with early tradition backing the core claims, and the way the narratives name specific individuals lends credibility by allowing cross-checking with those people if needed.
A Deep Dish Birthday Party (with Special Guests)!
Q: How can lovers of different temperaments express affection in healthy ways without feeling misunderstood?
Communicate openly, ask good questions to understand how your words land, and cultivate ongoing dialogue to ensure both parties feel seen and valued.
A Deep Dish Birthday Party (with Special Guests)!
Q: How do you discern the difference between conviction from the Spirit and shame?
Shame is from the accuser and aims to alienate us from Christ, while conviction from the Spirit leads to confession and healing, drawing us closer to God and enabling change.
Siblings, Young and Old
Q: How does your relationship with your siblings look different now from what it was when you were growing up?
As adults, we cherish our time together and are committed to supporting each other, especially in caring for our aging parents.
When You Want to Change Your Husband
Q: What encouragement do you have for listeners about their marriages?
You can choose to rejoice in what is, rather than always try to focus on what isn't.
