101. John Allen Chau: Reckless Missionary or Righteous Martyr? 1:02:34

Play Pause

5h ago1:02:34

1:02:34

If you were around for this story in 2018, you remember that it was everywhere. An American missionary is killed after attempting to make contact with an isolated tribe that lives on a small island in the Bay of Bengal. Criticism was immediate. Swarms of news outlets condemned the man for resurrecting age-old imperialist tactics in defying the trib…

[Ep 189] When Healing Takes Longer Than You Hoped 2:41

9h ago2:41

2:41

Two trees. Same kind. Standing side by side—yet one is bare while the other is full of golden leaves. In today's quiet reflection, Kari uses this simple scene from her neighborhood to remind us that healing doesn't happen at the same pace for everyone. It's easy to look at someone else's joy and wonder why we're still struggling. But God tends to e…

Navigating Uncertainties in Life? Here’s How to Get Unstuck and Move Forward with Making Decisions 15:03

2h ago15:03

15:03

When we're navigating uncertainties in life, why do we expect ourselves to always know what to do?

This Thanksgiving, we’re turning our hearts back to the Lord, who is the source of every good gift. In this episode, we explore what it means to be grounded in gratitude through a biblical lens.

Ready to Start Your Own Gentle Business Rebellion? - EP 93 13:38

8h ago13:38

13:38

Ever feel like your business, and life, are tangled up in endless “shoulds” you can’t possibly keep up with? What if the real success comes from breaking those rules, setting boundaries, and choosing what truly fits your season of life? This episode, I'm getting real about stepping back after a tough stretch of extreme caregiving, letting go of bus…

100. Heresies, Heresies, Heresies: What Makes a Heresy? 57:08

3h ago57:08

57:08

From Arianism to Modalism, Nestorianism to Docetism, we've hit our fair share of heresies on this show. (By talking about them, not by committing them, hopefully) So for this week's episode, we'll be discussing how the church has historically dealt with the "h-word." We'll also consider, from our own ministry perspectives, the optimal way to addres…

[Ep 188] When Fear Keeps Us Quiet 3:55

3d ago3:55

3:55

Have you ever let fear keep you quiet, hesitant to use a gift you know God has placed inside you? In this episode, Kari unpacks a familiar verse, 2 Timothy 1:7, and discovers it means something deeper than we often realize. It's not just about overcoming fear in general—it's about refusing to let fear silence the gifts God has given us. Through Pau…

Note: We love that some of our listeners enjoy our podcast with their entire families.

97. The Adventures of the Apostles: Did Paul Lose His Head in Rome?? 1:06:10

21d ago1:06:10

1:06:10

They said we'd never make it. Our series on the apostles ends with easily the most impactful of them all: the man himself, Paul. Author of 251 books of the bible, survivor of many attempted murders, the world's greatest evangelist. But what does history say happened to him where the New Testament is silent? Was he killed in Rome under Nero's persec…

28d ago1:09:54

1:09:54

Thomas is BACK, BABY. It's about dang time. But also, we're wrapping up our series on the Apostles with two of the minor-est boys in the bunch, Thaddeus and Bartholomew. While the biblical narrative doesn't offer us much on these two lads, history has no shortage of legends about their lives. Where did they go? Were they martyred or did they die of…

95. The Adventures of the Apostles: Did Doubting Thomas Go to India? 57:48

1M ago57:48

57:48

For a long-time follower of Jesus, Thomas really got the short stick when it came to nicknames. But that's okay. He redeemed his doubting ways and was named with the rest of the disciples even after Jesus ascended to heaven. But here's a question-- what did he do after that? Did he go to Persia? Or perhaps, even farther??? Join us as we explore the…

92. The Adventures of the Apostles: What Happened to Philip? 59:15

1M ago59:15

59:15

Let's be honest-- each of the Gospel authors clearly had their favorite disciples to write about. Lots of Peter yapping, a little bit of Thomas doubting, a little bit of John being beloved. But what about the other guys? Well, one of those 'other guys' is the apostle Philip, and he's our focus for this week. Join us as we try to uncover once again,…

94. The Adventures of the Apostles: Was John Really Boiled in Hot Oil? 1:03:06

1M ago1:03:06

1:03:06

How's that for a title, huh? We heard we're supposed to be better at hooking people. But seriously, few of the apostles get as wild of a post-Acts story as John. Supposedly boiled in oil, miraculously survived, and then banished to a tiny island where he wrote Revelation. Supposedly. So let's see what the history books have to say about ol' John th…

93. Gregory of Nyssa: The Man, The Mystic, The Legend 55:26

1M ago55:26

55:26

Few things are worse than living in the shadow of a really successful older sibling. We imagine the siblings (or cousins, right Catholics?) of Jesus probably felt that way. Imagine being young Gregory of Nyssa, the brother of four siblings who would go on to receive sainthood. And two of them are your oldest brother and sister. What a nightmare. Fo…

91. Gregory of Nazianzus: The Introvert Who Shaped the Trinity 1:03:55

2M ago1:03:55

1:03:55

As we comb through history's ranks of church fathers, we tend to take something for granted. Many of these people had a natural desire for leadership. Augustine, Athanasius, Antony, they all had a natural penchant to address the crowds and stir up courage. This was not the case with our next Cappadocian Father, Gregory of Nazianzus. Gregory had a m…

Imagine you're writing a letter to the President (or Emperor, depending on what era you live in). Point by point, you bring up each idol of that day and age, and refute it thoroughly.
