Ep 358: What Are You Looking For? Lessons from the Sycamore Tree with Christine Norvell 12.09.2026 1sa 2dkWhat can a sycamore tree teach us about God? In this episode, I'm talking with Christine Norvell about her book on the biblical sycamore tree and the story of Zacchaeus. We'll look beyond the familiar Sunday school story and examine what Scripture actually reveals about Zacchaeus, his encounter with Jesus, and the significance of the tree he climbed. Christine helps us slow down and look more carefully at a passage we may think we already know. What does this story teach us about Jesus? What does it reveal about Zacchaeus? And what can we learn when we stop making ourselves the center of the story and look for what Scripture teaches us about God? If you've ever read the story of Zacchaeus and thought you knew the whole story, this conversation may give you a reason to look again.

Ep 356: Spiritual Warfare: Recognizing the Enemy's Deceptive Strategies with Heather Otis-Tayloe 29.08.2026 49dkSpiritual warfare is real—but so is spiritual deception. How do we recognize the enemy's strategies without becoming distracted by fear, speculation, or sensationalism? In this conversation, author Heather Otis-Tayloe joins me to discuss spiritual warfare, the deceptive tactics of the enemy, and why biblical discernment is essential for every Christian. We'll talk about how Satan works to deceive, how Christians can recognize spiritual counterfeits, and why knowing Scripture is one of our greatest defenses against deception.

Ep 355: Is the Culture Losing its Grip on Reality? with Phoenix Hayes 22.08.2026 1sa 1dkWhat happens when we stop asking whether something is true and start deciding truth for ourselves? We live in a culture where reality is increasingly treated as something we can define, redefine, or even create. But can we actually create our own reality? And what happens when our feelings, desires, or personal experiences become the standard for determining what is true? In this episode, I'm talking with Phoenix Hayes, co-author with Dr. Frank Turek of The War on Reality. We discuss the growing confusion surrounding truth, identity, morality, and human nature—and why Christians need a solid foundation for evaluating the ideas shaping our culture. We talk about why truth matters, how competing worldviews influence the way we see reality, and why the question of whether God exists ultimately changes everything. Struggle to have conversations with people who believe you can determine what's true for yourself? Listen to this episode. The War on Reality book.

Ep 354: Wired That Way: Understanding How God Made You 16.08.2026 54dkAre you a people person, a planner, a problem-solver, or someone who thrives on encouragement and connection? In this episode, I'm joined by Marita Littauer to talk about Wired That Way, a personality assessment designed to help us understand how God has uniquely wired us—and how those differences affect the way we communicate, relate to others, and respond to the world around us. We'll talk about the strengths and challenges that come with different personality types, how understanding ourselves can improve our relationships, and why knowing how God has wired us should never become an excuse for our behavior. Instead, it can help us better understand ourselves and love and serve others well.

Ep 353: 7 Reasons You Don't Think Well—and How to Fix It 08.08.2026 53dkWhat does it mean to have an "empty self," and could these traits be affecting the way you think, live, and grow as a Christian? In this episode, I unpack J.P. Moreland's seven traits of the empty self, including individualism, instant gratification, narcissism, passivity, being driven by feelings and experiences, external identity, and busyness. We'll look at how these traits can weaken our ability to think deeply, study Scripture, and discern truth—and practical steps we can take to develop a stronger Christian mind and love the Lord with all our minds.

Ep 352: From Ritual Magic to Redemption: Jac Marino's Testimony with Jac Marino Chen 01.08.2026 53dkThe New Age movement is more popular than ever. Practices like tarot cards, crystals, manifestation, astrology, energy healing, and spirit guides are often presented as harmless tools for personal growth. But what does the Bible say? In this episode, I sit down with Jac Marino Chen, author of Ensnared: Overcoming the Darkness of the New Age and Occult with the Light of God's Truth, to hear her powerful testimony of how Jesus rescued her from a life immersed in the occult, ritual magick, addiction, and spiritual deception. Jac's explanation of the gospel was so powerful it brought tears to my eyes. I know you'll walk away from this conversation encouraged and reminded that while the occult is real and spiritually dangerous, it is no match for the saving power of Jesus Christ. No one is beyond His reach. God is still breaking through the darkness, setting captives free, and transforming lives by His grace.

Ep 349: Answering Your Questions: Butterfly Signs, Biblical Truth, and Believing the Right Gospel 11.07.2026 45dkMany people claim the name of Christ, but how should we respond when their beliefs don't line up with Scripture? In this listener Q&A episode, I'm tackling some of your most thoughtful questions about biblical discernment, discipleship, and how to faithfully navigate today's cultural confusion. Together we'll discuss: Are butterflies, repeated numbers, and other "signs" really messages from God? How should we think about people who profess Christ while affirming LGBTQ relationships? What should we make of Perez Hilton's public profession of Christianity? Is someone simply mistaken about Scripture—or does rejecting biblical authority reveal a deeper issue? How can Christians lovingly correct those who claim Christ without rushing to judge their salvation? What encouragement does Scripture offer women married to unbelieving husbands? We'll also talk about the difference between discipleship and deception, why biblical authority matters, and how to engage difficult conversations with both conviction and compassion.

Ep 347: A Woman's Role in Church and Ministry: What Does the Bible Actually Say? 27.06.2026 55dkThe debate over women serving as pastors has reignited after the Southern Baptist Convention voted to clarify that the office of pastor is reserved for qualified men. Some see this as biblical faithfulness. Others see it as sexism. So what does Scripture actually teach? In this episode, I share how my own views changed after studying the Bible for myself, explain why I believe the office of pastor is reserved for men, and discuss why that does not diminish the value, gifting, or influence of women in God's kingdom. Whether you're wrestling with this issue yourself or simply want to understand the biblical arguments more clearly, my prayer is that this conversation encourages you to approach Scripture with humility, charity, and a desire to honor Christ above culture.

Ep 345: Is Self-Love Biblical? The Self-Love Conversation Christians Need to Have 13.06.2026 1sa 9dkIs self-love biblical? After discovering a surprising verse in Proverbs 19:8, Shanda takes a deep dive into what Scripture really says about loving yourself. In a culture that constantly tells us to prioritize self-love, self-care, and self-acceptance, Christians must ask whether these messages align with God's Word. In this episode, Shanda explores the difference between cultural self-love and biblical wisdom, examines passages often used to support self-love, discusses how theologians have understood the concept throughout church history, and explains why Scripture consistently points us toward loving God first. You'll also hear a special Father's Day reflection as Shanda shares personal stories about her dad and the vital role fathers play in the lives of their children. If you've ever wondered whether self-love belongs in the Christian life—or if there's a better biblical framework for thinking about identity, purpose, and love—this episode is for you.

Ep 341: Is Consumerism Corrupting the American Church? 16.05.2026 44dkWhat do you expect from church—and what should your church biblically expect from you? In this episode, Shanda takes an honest look at consumerism within the American church and challenges believers to evaluate whether they approach church like a spiritual family or like a membership-based service built for personal convenience. From coffee shops and children's programs to worship preferences and polished productions, modern church culture can easily prioritize comfort over commitment. But is that what Scripture teaches? By comparing the Western church to persecuted churches around the world and examining biblical expectations for both church leadership and church members, this episode calls Christians back to active discipleship, service, and biblical community.
