Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly

Sharing my thoughts on what is happening at Asbury. How do we discern and quantify a "revival"? Should this be called one? How many times has this happened before - and why has every time been in February or March? All this and more. 

From the occult into Christianity - Jac Marino Chen shares her testimony of how Jesus saved her from an occult order called The Golden Dawn into a relationship with Him. After a life marred by sexual abuse, addiction to psychadelic drugs and alcohol, Jac found herself unable to wake herself up from the nightmare that had become her life. She went deeper into the new age and ended up in the occult, studying ancient mysticism, egyptian magic and interacting with demonic entities in the spirit realm. Though she followed this path and was initiated into a magical occult order that practiced sorcery in a freemason lodge, God had other plans for how her life would turn out.

Children have a right to a mother and father. Them Before Us seeks to prioritize the rights of children in the culture and courtroom, the personal and the public. What a basic, foundational concept... but one that's been lost in the current cultural stream of thought that adult desires trump any possible right a child may have. From gay marriage to the transgender movement to surrogacy and designer babies, Katy Faust applies a strong biblical ethic of protecting children and their rights. Them Before Us strives to put children before adults in every conversation about marriage and family.  Listen in!  Them Before Us website Them Before Us Book TODAY'S SPONSORS ARE: SO SIMPLE SIGHT WORDS: Get 20% off with code KINDLED Follow them: @sosimplesightwords ************** ALONGSIDE THEM: Get $5 off with code KINDLED5 Follow them: @alongsidethem ************** CORNERSTONE CURRICULUM: Get 5% off with code KINDLED Follow them: @cornerstonecurriculum Do you want to advertise on Kindled?

Ashley and I accidentally stumbled onto a very hot topic on Instagram when we both brought it up a couple months ago on the platform.  We have joined together to have a conversation on what we've learned - and what concerns us - after hundreds of hours of research.  Gentle Parenting is a popular secular parenting philosophy that has been growing in popularity within the Christian church. But is it biblical? Many Christians who practice gentle parenting argue that it is. Ashley Kintzel and I unpack our primary concerns with the philosophy and identify incongruencies with gentle parenting as compared with scripture's charge for parents and children.

This conversation is with Brittany Jones of Kansas Family Voice. Brittany is one of the lawyers who helped author the Value Them Both Amendment, which is coming up for a vote in Kansas on August 2.  This legislation is one of the first to make a ballot for a vote after the overturn of Roe V. Wade on June 24, 2022. This is a huge and hotly debated amendment in Kansas, which is set to become an abortion DESTINATION, because of a ruling in 2019 which interpreted our state constitution to enumerate a woman's RIGHT to an abortion (even though it does not.)  I hope you'll find this helpful and informative as you head to vote August 2.

Welcome to Your Place in a Worldview Minority! It’s no longer “normal” to be a Christian in our culture. We are surrounded by secularism both outside and inside the church, but we don't have to be fooled: secularism is anything but neutral.  Listen in as I discuss with Natasha Crain how believers can reclaim a Biblical worldview and stand firm on the authority of God's word in a culture that is mounting its pressures of secular individualism every day.

In this episode Haley interviews convert and missionary pastor Mike Gendron, who compares and contrasts the teachings of the Catholic church with the 66 books of the Bible. As a former Catholic himself, Mike’s apologetics and evangelism ministry, “Proclaiming the Gospel,” is a must-bookmark resource.  Mike is the author of two books, Preparing for Eternity and Contending for the Gospel, and has published 7 Gospel tracts and a set of Gospel Cards to reach those who are perishing. We cover the basic teachings of the Catechism of the Catholic church as it relates to many topics including: sin, salvation, communion/the eucharist, heaven, hell, works, righteousness, sacrifice and many more topics. It's important to not only understand our own faith, but also the theology of religions like Catholicism which uses a lot of the same terminology but different definitions. Mike Gendron explains this and more!

Talking today with Reagan Scott on how many Christian churches have become overly-politicized. This is due in large part to pastors on both sides of the political aisle partnering with political organizations and leveraging their platform/captive audience for political gain rather than preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.  My audience will be aware of this practice in liberal-leaning churches over the last couple years, but today Reagan and I focus on how more recently, we've seen this phenomenon in conservative Christian churches, due in some part thanks to organizations like Turning Point USA's new program "Turning Point Faith" which aims to go into temples, mosques and churches to get people to register to vote, start chapters within youth groups and 'activate their faith in the public square.' We discuss the danger of this ecumenical movement to sharing the true gospel of Jesus Christ. 

The political landscape is exhausting and intense - to say the least. And we totally get that breaks from consuming the information and staying on top of what's going on are necessary. (We take them too!) BUT - for the Christian, we have another motivation for being and staying engaged politically - and it's not so our political party wins or stays in office.  Listen in as Rachel Reeves, wife, homeschool mom and founder of Here Are The Headlines discuss what political engagement for the Christian should look like.  Follow me on instagram HERE.

WARNING: This episode is not for young ears OR those who may be triggered by stories of sexual abuse.  This is the story of one woman who escaped a sexually abusive marriage to a porn-addicted husband.  This episode outlines her story as well as highlights the devastating effects porn consumption has on an individual and, eventually, their family.  Stacy is a survivor, fighter and advocate for women and children who have endured abusive relationships. She speaks to many aspects of this conversation that most of us don't realize: appropriate physical touch, where abusers most often come from, how porn changes a person's brain and, if unchecked and unhindered, will enable them to objectify anyone and anything as an object of sexual pleasure.  She encourages the church to RISE UP and offers many good suggestions for ways to educate and protect your family and children.  Fight The New Drug Covenant Eyes Follow me on instagram HERE and HERE.

Lucas Miles and I discuss how liberal thought has entered America's sanctuaries, exchanging the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for the trinity of diversity, acceptance, and social justice.

Many Christians rightly believe that they need to read the Bible but do not properly understand how to approach the Word or what its purpose is in their life. Understanding how to hear the Word, read the Word and study the Word is vital. But a recent LifeWay Research study found that the way Christians actually read their Bibles was much less frequent than one might think. Dave Jenkins and I are discussing why Biblical literacy is important and how to grow in the knowledge of God-- not just for knowledge's sake but so we grow in our love for Him.  Follow me on instagram HERE.

Welcome to Season 4 of KINDLED! We're kicking it off with a bang. I brought my husband Joey on to discuss one of our favorite things to chat about: Should Christians engage in politics? How does our faith inform how we act in the world? Is it "ok" to be political as a Christian or be concerned with policies and presidents? And how do we do so differently from the world?

Have you heard things like: "go with Jesus" "Jesus' words are more authoritative than anyone else in the Bible" "Paul was a little preachy, go with Jesus on this one" ?? These are all cunning examples of Red-Letter Christianity - the belief that Jesus' words spoken during his earthly ministry "trump" all else in God's Word. This teaching and idea is getting more traction all the time amongst progressive Christians and is seeping in to churches and through teachers' words... we need to know what it is and why it's false. And we need to argue for the authority and supremacy of scripture - since it is all God-breathed, and ... surprise! Jesus and God ARE ONE.  Shownotes at kindledpodcast.com Sponsor: H.

We know we're supposed to read our Bible. We know we're supposed to spend time in prayer. But that's hard. So we turn to devotionals, studies, books, podcasts, blogs and more - because it's easier. But the problem with this as our only diet of truth is - we don't know how to read God's very words in order to know Him. The Bible is God's WORD, but do we treat it as such? Do we approach it with an understanding that we can not just know the Bible when we read it - but we can know its author? Kelli Garms learned that lesson herself when God stripped everything else she "used" to try to know Him or feel safe, and now she helps other women learn how to dig into God's word *themselves* and learn how to mine not just for truth - but to know God Himself.  Shownotes at www.kindledpodcast.com Sponsor: Leeann Tenbrink with Guaranteed Foods - Get $100 of free food when you try their service!

After a challenging year for children's education, it's no surprise school choice is finally getting traction. Today Corey DeAngelis joins me to discuss why. Parents this past year have been sending their children to charter schools and homeschooling in hordes. Public schools are indoctrinating our children and receiving more and more funding, but teachers still have to pay for their own school supplies. Their unions are in the political pocketbook. Every parent should have the right to send their children to the best school for them,  and Corey DeAngelis is here to speak on how we can make this happen.

Today I have an excellent conversation with Zee from @narrow.is.the.gate to share. She was gracious enough to share her testimony with me of how God transformed her life. We also discuss: + how we all start out on the broad road that leads to destruction, but that as Christians, we are not meant to stay on that path. + the importance of being in a biblical church + the importance of knowing what God's word says so we can identify lies all around us

It's no surprise that objective and absolute standards of morality were long since tossed to the wayside in favor of individual, subjective moral "truth." Recently, though, that individualized "personal ethic" has converted into more of a "morality by popular consensus" as product after book after person after brand gets harassed, cancelled, and condemned as "unfit" for society -- or worse. Natasha Crain and I discuss the how this change has occurred and she offers listeners encouragement for weathering the cultural hurricane we are in as well as preparing your kids for whatever is next.  Sponsor: Leeann Tenbrink with Guaranteed Foods: Get a WEEK OF FREE FOOD when you try their budget and family-friendly food delivery service!

Unless you've been under a rock, you've probably heard about the Enneagram. And you've probably heard people who are both WILDLY for it and WILDLY opposed to it. This episode is something you might not have heard before - the facts. What are the facts of the Enneagram's history? Is it beneficial for Christians in any way? Why or why not? What do we stand to lose or gain by engaging with this tool? Is it truly neutral?  I discuss all this with Ex-Professional Astrologer and New Ager Marcia Montenegro in today's episode.  I challenge you, whether for or against, to listen to this episode in a spirit of openness, with James 1:5 in mind: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him."

Some say femininity is under attack - and yes, in many ways it is. But in other ways, we're handing it right over to the enemy because we have lost a right understanding of what it truly is, according to God.  I'm discussing just that with Anneliese Louise of the instagram account Feminine Not Feminist.  Sponsor: Leanne Tenbrink with Guaranteed Foods - Get a $100 food credit and a week of free food!

I'm discussing that today with Christina Herrin, Campaign Manager for Free to Choose Medicine.  2020 brought the largest public health crisis in recent history with Covid-19, and as we move into 2021 with a new presidential administration, the future of public health policy is uncertain to say the least.  Christina and I discuss how government does a poor job at providing healthcare, the future of mask and vaccine mandates, how our medical autonomy and liberty is at stake and what we can do to fight for it.  Shownotes at KindledPodcast.com  Leave a review    Subscribe to the podcast: iTunes: : http://apple.co/2YSTIXY Spotify: http://spoti.fi/2N3GdCa Android: http://bit.ly/3aLxAnH   Connect with Haley on Social Media: https://twitter.com/kindledpodcast https://www.instagram.com/haleywilliams.kindled https://facebook.com/kindledpodcast   "Kindled Podcast" merchandise: https://kindledpodcast.com/store/

This Fall, we watched as the term "pro-life" was hijacked from the movement and pitted against us with the argument that it was not pro-ALL-life. Is this just semantics? Or is it a sign the movement needs a rebrand?  Today, Gabriel Finochio and I discuss being ANTI-ABORTION, rather than pro-life, as well as the desperate need we have for church pastors to step up and lead their congregations, boldly.  Watch on Youtube Shownotes at kindledpodcast.com

Surprise! We're back! Season 3 is here.  And we're starting off with a BANG.

SURPRISE! My Christmas present to you is here - a conversation with Alisha Illian on Perfection.  With the New Year just around the corner, it's all to easy to buy into the lie that if we just eat a little differently or wake up earlier or buy this or drink that, we can be better. More perfect. And that pursuit can leave us frustrated and hopeless if we let it be our ultimate driver and truth.  We're discussing what true Biblical perfection is and how to think about it rightly as followers of Christ. 

We've spent the last 3 months diving deep into how Christianity intersects with culture from a Biblical worldview. Now it's time to learn how to take that knowledge to the streets of our relationships by discussing Evangelism.  Don't freak out - we're not going to be giving you the latest tactics for how to "win souls to Christ" with street evangelism (though if you want to do that, more power to you!). This is a very guilt-free and practical introduction to what evangelism really looks like in the life of most believers - and it's not what you may think.  You'll be so encouraged by this conversation with Greg Koukl!  Shownotes at kindledpodcast.com. 

Today my Pastor Jeff Terrell joins me to discuss living life in light of eternity. We need eternal eyes now more than EVER, so this conversation comes at the perfect time.  Jeff shares wisdom from the book of Ecclesiastes on living life backwards. He also provides orthodox Christians with some helpful guard rails for engaging with God's Word.  Episode sponsor: Prepdish Show notes at www.kindledpodcast.com

For the world, belonging is turned upside down from the way God designed it. The belonging movement, led by voices like Brene Brown and Glennon Doyle Melton, tells us true belonging is found in unconditional self-acceptance.  In many ways, this movement isn't much different than Satan's offer in the garden - "Did God really say?" Culture offers us something it doesn't have authority to give - and that's what we explore in this episode.  Sponsor: Kindled Firestarters Join to get a BONUS episode every Friday for $10/month! 

Join us for this conversation with Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries on why Christians must demand justice in this election crisis.   From Dr. Myers' article, "As the election crisis drags on and the news is filled with widespread reports of voting irregularities and fraud, confusion and chaos reign. America needs help, and yet people of faith are almost entirely asleep at the wheel. Many feel they did enough by voting. I’ve seen countless people post the meme “God is in control” on their social media pages as if to say, 'I did my part. Whatever happens next is God’s business.' This is bad citizenship and even worse theology." Dr. Myers explains why. To watch this video interview on Youtube, click here.  

Today we're talking gender and sexuality! Dr. Christopher Yuan is sharing his story as he came out of a lifestyle of homosexuality and promiscuity to being a transformed disciple of Christ. Dr. Yuan has taught the Bible at Moody Bible Institute for over ten years and his speaking ministry on faith and sexuality has reached five continents. Christopher graduated from Moody Bible Institute in 2005, Wheaton College Graduate School in 2007 with a Master of Arts in Biblical Exegesis and received his doctorate of ministry in 2014 from Bethel Seminary.

Abortion is the great, unexamined issue of our time. When we look at the controversies swirling in America, we see that underneath them lurks this issue of abortion, which is the driving force of what is going on, even when it is not mentioned. Danielle and I unpack some of this critical and crucial conversation. We discuss why the conversation on abortion is changing, how information and science is on our side, and dive into a discussion of how many "pro-life" Christians are leaving the traditionally pro-life Republican party to vote Democrat for a number of reasons.  The sponsor is Prepdish.

Today I'm welcoming the hosts of my FAVORITE podcast, Just Thinking, back to the show!  This time, we're talking about TRUTH!

What do we do when everything we thought we knew and believe is called into question? And how do we work through doubts without going all the way to unbelief?  Alisa Childers shares her deconstruction story and how she found her way back to faith in Christ and the truths of historic Christianity.  Sponsor: H.

  Politics. What are they? And what *should* they be?   This discussion is one many of us have been told is something “polite people” avoid. But judging by the state of relationships in 2020, what we desperately need is help understanding how to think about this biblically as well as discuss ideas (and disagree) without cancelling people.  In this episode, Meagan and I discuss what politics are according to scripture and investigate a new ideology on the left she has dubbed “critical political theory.” If you’ve been wondering why people are cancelling grandma for differing views, this will help explain why.   Episode sponsor: Prepdish 

The term "Pro All Life" has exploded onto the scene surrounding the abortion discussion - especially amongst Christians.  But is this term truly pro ALL life? Or is there more to what's being said when someone proclaims they are pro-all-life?  I examine what the Bible says about life and what our response should be as Christians.  This is a special release of our FIRESTARTERS episodes which are weekly BONUS episodes available to our Patreon community for $10/month.

What is the church? What purpose does it serve in the individual life of a believe and in the corporate body of Christ? With all the recent changes in how churches are doing service, offering livestreams, streaming podcasts, is there still value in meeting in person with the body of Christ?  The answer is a resounding YES from Pastor Joel Webbon of Right Response Ministries.  In this episode he provides an apologetic for why the gathering of the saints as the body of Christ (the CHURCH) is essential.  Episode Sponsor: H. Williams Creative Shownotes at www.kindledpodcast.com

Who are we really and who do we believe ourselves to be? Do we need to go "find ourselves" or "recover our lost self" or "uncover our core self" or travel "the road back to you?" There are SO MANY messages coming at us left and right, front and back, every day. How do you know who you are and if you're really even yourself? It's exhausting to consider, isn't it?  These are the questions we are examining today from both a biblical and secular worldview. Our identity is central and foundational to how we live. It's also something God has a lot to say about - especially after He makes us new creations and we are made alive in Christ.  Natalie Gaines and I (@stopandconsider) discuss and it's so rich and full of encouragement.  Join Kindled's Patreon Community to get a BONUS episode each week!  Episode Sponsor: H.

Samuel Sey and I discuss justice and examine it from both a Biblical and secular worldview. A few of the topics we discuss:  What are the justice issues we are seeing in the world today? What is a biblical definition of justice?  How does the world define justice?  Is disparity evidence of injustice? What does God say about it in the Bible and is it relevant to the issues we're experiencing today? This episode is amazingly practical and truth-filled.

What is the law according to scripture? And what does the Gospel have to do with it? Everything, it turns out.  Theologian Krista Bontrager of "All the Things" Podcast and I discuss how the Bible explains our relationship to the law and God's provision in Christ. We also compare and contrast this perspective with how the world views law and its limitations to their freedoms and happiness.  This episode is SO HELPFUL in understanding much of the language and discussion around law, justice and other hot topics being discussed in the church and culture.  Sponsor: Prepdish - sign up for our 2 week free trial and make mealtime stress-free and healthy!

Motherhood is full and glorious - but also filled with trials and suffering. If we don't understand the purpose of our motherhood, we will get lost in everyday difficulties and no way to reclaim perspective.  That's what I discuss today with September McCarthy, mother of 10 and homeschool mama. She has a unique perspective of generational motherhood with children spanning from age 28 to 8 years old. She has grandchildren and children of her own still in her home, affording her the perspective of a multi-generational mother and seeing how unique and beautiful our purpose is in God's kingdom. She shares so much wisdom and encouragement for those of us in the trenches. No matter what season of motherhood you are in, you will be encouraged by her testimony of God's grace in her nearly 30 years of being a mother.  Shownotes at kindledpodcast.com Sponsor: Jiobit | TRACKTOSCHOOL to get $15 off your tracker.

The murder of George Floyd on May 25 sent the United States into a nationwide cultural discussion on racism and justice.  There are many voices offering many solutions to the problems that ail society. But how do we look at this issue as Christians? What answer does the Bible have for the sin and evil we see in society in both individuals and our systems of government?  How do we respond as Christians to the call of the world to "divest of our whiteness" and embrace the narrative offered by Critical Race Theory that so many (including many Christians) are letting guide the discussion? This is what Monique and I are discussing today. Monique is the founder of the Center for Biblical Unity and a Racial Unity Advocate. Shownotes available at www.kindldedpodcast.com Sponsor: H.

Social justice is no doubt a relevant and hot topic today. Should Christians become "social justice warriors"? Is this biblical? What is justice as the bible defines it and what is our role in bringing it about in the world? These are just a few of the questions I posed to the Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker, the hosts of the Just Thinking podcast, my absolute favorite podcast. I was honored that Darrell and Virgil agreed to come on the show and discuss this incredibly relevant and important topic with me. 

Pornography is the most destructive force we are facing today - and by and large? We AREN'T TALKING ABOUT IT. (Excuse me for yelling, this is kind of a big deal.)  Hearts are being darkened by evil, brains are being rewired by overstimulation and marriages are being destroyed. Here's some stats for you: 79% of Christian men who attend evangelical church regularly use porn. 55% of Christian men look at it monthly and 1 in 10 look at it daily. But it's NOT JUST MEN - the fastest growing user group is Women. The biggest user group is 12-17 year olds. 1 out of 10 porn users is under the age of 10.  BUT hold on --  there is hope, healing and restoration. There is forgiveness through Christ and we can walk in the light, free of shame and deception. Free of slavery to this evil that so easily entangled.   We have to talk about this, Church.  Listen to my conversation with Rosie Makinney of Fight For Love Ministries  Sponsor: H.

Whether it’s fearful side hugs on one side or sexual abuse on the other, both the culture and the church aren’t doing very well with touch. Singles are staying single longer, dating is wrought with angst over purity, and marriages struggle to not interpret all forms of touch as sexual. Even the Bible seems to have endless rules about not touching things. There is simply no place where touch doesn’t seem threatened or threatening.  But a curious thing happens when Jesus comes into His ministry: He touches. Jesus touches the sick and the outcast, the bleeding and the unclean.  Join me and Lore Wilbert as we discuss on today's episode.  Sponsor: Prepdish - Start your 14-day FREE TRIAL today!  Shownotes at www.kindledpodcast.com

These 10 Commandments are in effect - a new Ten Commandments. What’s striking is that they are far less about God revealing his desires and far more about man expressing his own—less Moses, more Oprah. Yet each of these commandments is partially true. Indeed, that is what makes this list, and progressive Christianity as a whole, so challenging. Half-truths can sound quite appealing until you recognize their foundations and implications.  Join Dr. Kruger and I as we discuss.

Is self-love really loving?  It's a question worth asking. And my guest Brooke Tabor and I go there in today's episode.  Our cultural moment is nothing short of consumed with this concept of loving yourself better. Self-love is the best love. Love yourself first to love others. And while we are sure the intention behind the phrase often means well, for Christians, it profoundly misses the mark of the kind of love scripture both promises us AND calls us to exhibit.  Join us as we discuss!  Shownotes at kindledpodcast.com Sponsor: H.

Today is a candid conversation of reflections on hope with author Laura Smith. We talk about what God is doing with COVID-19. On a micro level in our lives but also on a global scale. How He is continuing to work out His great rescue plan for humanity.  We discuss the goodness of God, how we are like the grumbling Israelites being brought  into the promise land through way of the wilderness, and how God is turning evil for good before our eyes in spite of the brokenness we see.  SPONSOR: Prepdish - Start your free 14-day trial today!

Today I'm airing the second part of my conversation with Marcia Montenegro. We're diving headfirst into the New Age and tackling some big topics like naturopathy, mindfulness, the enneagram.  Marcia explains the origins of these ideas, concepts and the enneagram itself, which may surprise you. To be fair, I have long loved the enneagram and how it felt like it explained me so accurately, helped me understand more about myself and others, but as I've learned more about its origins, I've taken a more critical approach to it. But Marcia's biggest beef isn't that you identify as a "three" or an "achiever" but that the enneagram is teaching people to value experience over truth, a foundational teaching of the new age. While I think there's plenty of room for believers to disagree on whether the enneagram can be "redeemed" (which tends to be the point of argumentation), it's important for us to take a look at the origins of what we engage with so we can rightly understand how we interact with them today.  Show notes at kindledpodcast.com

Today I'm talking with Brenna Burrows, a wife and mom of two girls who lives in Quingdao, a city in the the Shandong province in China.  Brenna and her family have lived in China for 18 months and just experienced the spread of COVID-19. While they are not in  Wuhan in Hubei province, where the main outbreak was, it has still greatly impacted their lives.  Brenna and her family have been through the extreme measures to prevent spread many of us are just now beginning to experience and she's sharing some of what that's looked like for their family. She also shares how keeping her eyes on Jesus and prayer has helped her through this fearful and uncertain time.  Sponsor: Prepdish Shownotes: KindledPodcast.com

Today, you get to hear the testimony of Marcia Montenegro. Marcia is a former professional astrologer who was involved in seeking out the supernatural, as well as being involved in paranormal New Age practices. She was compelled by the intense love of Jesus to give up occult practices and turn to him as her Lord and Savior. Because of her background, she understands the appeal and dangers of the the New Age and now lectures on these topics around the country.  Show notes at www.KindledPodcast.com

The cultural moment we are in tells us grace and truth do not exist together. The narrative looks something like - grace means wholesale acceptance of all that someone chooses to do and the rejection of absolute truth - ie: they can do NO wrong. On the flip side, if you have the truth, you must preach it and take no prisoners. But an examination of scripture and God's heart for his children shows that is not how we are to understand these two. They are inextricably linked and meant to be applied together, not separately, in the life of believers.  Sarah and I discuss how a right understanding of grace and truth frees us to engage honestly and lovingly, even - and perhaps especially - in challenging relationships.  Sponsor: Prepdish Shownotes at www.Kindledpodcast.com

It's a wild time to be alive. We have access to more ideas, more content, more leaders, more voices, more information than anyone in history has ever had access to. And that means that we’re going to have to have wisdom to know what to listen to, which direction to go, what to take in, what to leave behind, how to discern what is really influencing us when we post, how to just clarify our own motives and how to be led by the Holy Spirit and not just be swept along by this torrent of information.  That means we need to have discernment. But discernment is more than simply avoiding bad things; discernment actually frees you to navigate the world with confidence and joy by teaching you how to recognize and choose good things. When you learn discernment and develop a taste for all that’s good, you will encounter God in remarkable new ways. Join me and Hannah for this fascinating conversation. 

Approval is something we all long for. We long to be found as enough, as acceptable, as good. In fact, it's not whether we will seek approval or not but where we will seek it. When we look for it in the wrong place, the approval we find will never satiate our desire for acceptance. But when we realize nd truly believe that our drive to find approval is meant to be met and satisfied in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, our endless search for the approval of man can end. We can see that Jesus fulfills every desire we have for approval by doing what we were powerless to do.  Donna and I talk through some of the ways we wrongly seek approval and how we see in scripture that God is the only One who can offer sound and true approval of us.  Shownotes at www.KindledPodcast.com

As Christians, we know friendship matters. Go to any Christian book store and you’ll find myriads of books on the importance of community. But while most people are convinced of their need for Christian friendships, they are often confused about the problems and disappointment they experience. What’s responsible for this confusion? For too many people, their friendships are very worldly. Following Jesus may have changed the activities of friendship, but the DNA of how and why they practice friendship remains untouched. These relationships may look good, but underneath, they’re merely friend-ish. In this conversation Kelly and I discuss what true biblical friendship really looks like and how we can be better friends to one another.  Shownotes: www.KindledPodcast.com Sponsor: H.

This one's for the working mama!  Join me as I chat with Katie Alexander about the challenges and joys working moms face. Katie shares about her own experiences as a full time working mom in Corp. America.  We discuss: Finding truth in the Word of God, first and foremost Not placing our identity in our work, whether it's in or outside of the home Learning to see other women as sisters in Christ with deep and profound similarities rather than first noticing all that makes us different Putting work in its rightful place, not on the altar of our hearts but as something we do in service to the King - and being freed by that to both do it well and not be completely destroyed when we don't. 

You're going to love my friend Alaina.  She is smart, beautiful and a great mother of three. But more than all that, she is resilient because she is anchored in a God who has and is redeeming her and her story.  Most might have been tempted to title this episode by the things that the world might say marks and even scars Alaina's life - infertility, infidelity, divorce, single mother of three, working mom. But when you place your identity in a source outside yourself and your circumstances, those things lose their power to make you anything - for better or worse. These things that have happened to her have not defined her. They have not made her who she is, but rather have been the catalyst for her to lean harder into her savior. And her attitude is not just a show - it's a choice she's made. Her commitment to her girls is not an obligation, it's the delight of her life. Her resilience is not just a show for Instagram, it's something she is modeling in her real life.  Nothing went as planned, yet she thrives.    Shownotes available at www.kindledpodcast.com

Welcome to the Education Mini-Series!  In this introduction, Haley gives a preface to this 3-part mini-series in which you'll hear from 6 women who, along with their husbands, have all chosen different routes for educating their kids. You'll hear from two who chose public school, two who chose homeschooling and two who chose private school. As believers in Jesus, we have the great privilege and responsibility of teaching our kids about Jesus and praying God uses our instruction to open the eyes of their heart unto salvation. As for academic education, I believe we have a number of faithful options when it comes to how our children are educated. There are any number of models and methods and many, many different ways people have done it over the years. But for the sake of brevity, we're broadly exploring the big three - public, private and homeschool.  The point of these interviews is not to offer a prescription for your situation or tell you WHAT to think but rather help you with HOW to think about this important decision. It's what I have wanted as my own husband and I have had these conversations. To hear some real, boots-on-the-ground experiences, questions and answers and encouragement to do the best with what we have and know today, trusting our great God to bring the harvest as only He can.  I pray it blesses everyone who listens, helping you to put this decision in perspective and put your hope in Jesus alone.

Today’s episode is straight FIRE, ya’ll.  This is one of my favorites! In it I'm chatting with Maggie Combs about how God places grace-filled limitations on our lives as He asks us to obey Him so that the fruit of our labor can point to Him and not us. The day I interviewed Maggie I was really struggling with “the Kingdom of Mom” and our conversation was a HUGE grace in my day and week, reminding me of truth in a hard circumstance.

Perhaps you're waking up on an ordinary Monday, in an ordinary week of your ordinary life. Perhaps you feel forgotten, invisible or alone in your own particular monotony. The rhythm of the work week or being home with the kids. Perhaps, though, you've forgotten that the mundane everyday is exactly where Jesus wants to meet you. It's exactly where His love feels the most intimate and caring - in the unseen minutes of every day.  For moms, these moments are often the ones that feel the most overwhelming.

As we enter the long season of Winter, it's the perfect time for this conversation with Sara Hagerty. We discuss how we need deep roots to make it through a long winter. Sara shares what it means to receive your season and that we can ask God what season we are in.  Sara Hagerty is a mom of 7 and she lives here in KC! We also have a funny connection, which I mention in the episode. She is the author of the book Unseen and Every Bitter Thing is Sweet.

In this episode I'm chatting with Alex Kuykendall about her book, Loving My Actual Christmas. You’ll hear us discuss how to fall in love with the season again, reflecting on themes of advent—hope, love, joy and peace—plus, practical advice on common Christmas stressors such as finances, schedules and extended family.  I hope you’ll finish this episode with the encouragement to go easy on yourself, remember what truly matters, and find joy in your own actual, imperfect Christmas.  Sponsor: Pr

WANT MORE JOY IN MOTHERHOOD? THEN YOU NEED AN ESCAPE - NOT FROM MOTHERHOOD BUT FROM THE WORLD’S DEFINITION OF IT. Valerie was just your average mom who was spending way too much time frustrated with short naps, spilled milk and mundane days. She expected refreshment to come behind a locked bathroom door or on a beach somewhere but it started happening in her mind when she was able to identify twenty lies the world tells us about motherhood that were sabotaging her joy.

I cannot pretend I am a minimalist - or that I even WANT to be. But what I CAN tell you is I long for the simplicity of that lifestyle and the ease of LESS. So when I discovered there was someone out there for people like me who might just be minimal-ish, I was ecstatic.  Desirae's goal is to give women the tools they need to dive into the version of realistic minimalism that fits their family best so they can focus on what matters to them. www.kindledpodcast.com Sponsor: H.

If you haven't heard of "critical theory," you've likely heard ideas floating around that come from this ideology. In this episode, Haley chats with Neil Shenvi about Critical Theory and why it is antithetical to the gospel.

Where do you go when you've broken trust, relationships and faith with those you love most? For Andrea Burke, the answer was away from her home, family and the Christian music career she had just begun.  This story begins with affairs and infidelity but it does not end there.

What do you think when you hear the word "homemaker?" If you're like me, it hasn't historically been your favorite word in the world. But have you considered that might be because you have the wrong definition? Lacey Rabalais and I discuss holy homemaking in today's episode. We reject culture's degrading definition that provides us a definition that is something akin to the Stepford Wives. We examine how God and the Bible actually views our roles (men, women & children!) in the making of our homes.

Just what is it about this message of You-First theology and Hustle-harder self-helpism that is hitting so opportunely in this cultural moment? What is compelling women to devour and double-tap this worldview and fueling its presence in bible studies and book clubs across the country? In this episode, I chat with Anne Kennedy about the theology of Rachel Hollis. We examine Rachel’s theology (the nature of her religious and spiritual beliefs) based on her prolific writing and speaking. KindledPodcast.c

From realizing persistent stomach aches Scarlet had as a young child were actually anxiety, she’s had a long road with fear and panic. Scarlet shares how she learned to hold the gospel up to her fears and realized that though she can’t fix herself or protect herself, Jesus walked into this broken, sad, scary place to rescue, love, and cast out her—and your—fear. We talk about how Jesus doesn’t offer us a life with nothing to be afraid of – he offers us HIMSELF.

In this episode with Jeanette Tapley, we're talking friendship and solopreneurship and where they intersect. We discuss: How our family members are not always our biggest fans, and that's ok. How we often can feel misunderstood or unseen in our work because we don't have a typical corporate job. How working at home as a mom can be one of the loneliest jobs in the world. How we can have honest, DTR conversations with our closest friends How we can "be the friend we wish we had"

Feelings can be complicated, and often we as adults have a harder time identifying what we're feeling than our kids do.  Christi and I chat about how we can provide our children with emotional safety, which the research says is the most important element for children to develop emotionally in a healthy environment.  Emotional safety is not woo-woo or abstract. It simply means that your emotions are allowed and you are safe to bring them to someone, but they don't get to be the boss of you.

Boldness in our faith is not reserved for the super-spiritual OR the uber-secular. Today I'm chatting with Samantha Royer, founder of She is Bold, about how she is learning that bold obedience is possible regardless of the circumstances or environment we find ourselves in. Samantha left a lucrative career in marketing to follow as assignment God placed in her heart, and she's letting us in behind the scenes on just how that's looked playing out in real life.

Our world is filled with fake facades, form the unrealistic filters on social media to the "holier than thou" personas seen in certain hypocritical believers. To combat the fake trends, a new trend has emerged--one that fights the facade with transparency and vulnerability. But is the "god" of brokenness, realness and honesty left us with a glorification of "Messy Christianity?" Are we elevating brokenness, focusing on self obsession rather than being changed? Rather than being truly transformed?

The world promises recognition and promotion if we "hustle harder," but what has that mantra actually done for us?

Social Media. Two words that strike an emotion in each of us. Sometimes it's obsession, sometimes dread, depression, encouragement, hope or not-enough-ness. But what if you could stop riding the wave of looking for how to feel based on your feed and realize that this little tool can be used for the Kingdom and for your growth?

I confess: I hate the term self-care. Always have, probably always will.  But Jaime McLaughlin helped me see that I'm not alone: she ALSO dislikes this term because it's been completely taken over by commercialism that tells us we just need one more manicure, one more massage, one more vegan, super sparkly bath bomb - to be happy. Jaime is here to call BS on all that and to help women see what lies fundamentally beneath their desire for inner peace and comfort and joy: the need for Jesus.

"Your post-partum body isn't as good."  "You should feel guilty for working as a mom."  "My success as a mom is dependent on how my children turn out." "You are enough all on your own." Have you believed one of these lies? I certainly have. In today's episode, I chat with Rebekah Hargraves about the lies we as women and mothers often believe. Rebekah shares with us what she has learned about 2 Corinthians 10:5 - "taking every thought captive" - rather than be controlled by them.

What does “social justice” mean as we hear it today in culture? What does it encompass and include and how is it defined? What is justice as we see it in the Bible and who is responsible for its execution and implementation? These are just a few of the questions I posed to the Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker, the hosts of the Just Thinking podcast. I was honored that Darrell and Virgil agreed to come on the show and discuss this incredibly relevant and important topic with me.   Sponsor: P

Tune in as I talk with Stefanie Gass, the host of the Mompreneur Mastermind podcast, and she shares her story.  It's one that started out in network marketing, where she became a top 1% network marketer and had achieved all of the income, 17K months, trips, recognition... but was still missing something. She wasn't doing what she was truly passionate about. When she transitioned into educating female entrepreneurs on faith-led business and balance mentorship, everything shifted.

God is our Redeemer. He Redeems us from our most broken places and sets us high upon the rock. So what does that look like when he takes even a broken and distorted childhood and blesses you and hundreds and hundreds of others though it? It looks like Brooke Robinson's story. Brooke is the founder of BTribalFit, a community of women who support each other in online workouts and accountability.  Show Notes: https://kindledpodcast.com/2019/06/10/when-god-redeems-our-broken-places-brooke-robinson-ep-66/

Motherhood is full of changing seasons. Things we used to rely on for sanity, strength, identity and purpose get ripped from our tightly gripped fingers by the grace of God. We are early in a pregnancy and can no longer work out the way we used to. Our time is not our own and meal planning the healthy choices we used to delight in has become a burden. We are overwhelmed by a difficult season or circumstance our child is going through, and life starts to feel all but under control.

Today I'm so excited to share an interview with a woman I look up to so much, Cheryl Scruggs. Cheryl and her husband Jeff have a nonprofit called Hope for Marriages where they support couples in reconciling their marriages and they also co-wrote “I Do Again.” Cheryl and Jeff spent 10 together in a disappointing marriage, only to get divorced and stay separated for 7 years. Theirs is one of unbelievable reconciliation is only possible with a God like ours. Show notes at www.kindledpodcast.com

I got chills listening to this episode after it was recorded.  Michelle brings the TRUTH to us today through admonition to follow our one leader rather than being obsessed with becoming leaders. How we need to also be taught before teaching.  She is the founder of She Works His Way, an organization that helps women learn in their life and work how to give God the glory & make Jesus our hero.

In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.” Abigail Dodds brings beautiful and freeing truth to us straight from God's word to us today regarding our being women created in the image of God.

This episode is for those of us that tend to fall into the ditches of apathy and anxiety on the road to lasting and sustainable wholesome living. Maybe I'm just talking to myself here, but for me, the struggle is real. Often times we as mamas struggle with a balance between apathy and anxiety when it comes to our health. Bethany helps women discover what it means to live a life centered in rest and how that can affect all areas of our health, family and business/service to others.

This episode is the KICK in your faith/business pants you've been needing! Listen in as we chat about how she has the audacity to charge what she's worth, how she grew from a service business to a 6-revenue stream business that helped her husband retire from his corporate job and how she's continuing to be a "Yes Girl" for God. She's a powerhouse of energy and business know-how and I learned so much from this SINGLE conversation with her!  You DO NOT want to miss this one, gals.

With instagram, facebook and Twitter in our fingertips, we both find ourselves having influence and receiving influence from all manner of individuals who believe all manner of things.  Slap the label "Christian" and the words "Jesus" up next to what is posted and said and shared, and you have a recipe for either total awesomeness or total disaster. How are you discerning what you are consuming online? This episode is about the ultimate, final and only authority of Scripture to tell us what is true.

The economy of God and grace is upside-down and backwards, and that's pretty much what I'm talking about in this episode with three ladies, known as "The Ruth Experience." We chat about how living generously actually doesn't empty us when we stand on the promises of God to be for us everything we need.

What if parenting wasn't just an opportunity to course correct or provide behavior modification? What if it was a chance to mirror the gospel by acting to save someone from error or evil. That is the meaning of "Redemptive" and it is actually the model Christ calls us to as parents.  Kristen will challenge you and help you see all the opportunities you have to teach a different - and more important - lesson, when you parent out of weakness rather than strength.
