But Lauren Crews, author of, Strength of a Woman: Why You are Proverbs 31, says I’m wrong. Using the Hebrew language, she describes the Proverbs 31 woman in an accurate and exciting way.

Does Jesus' Color Matter?
6/24/2020
What if Jesus was a POC (person of color)? What if he was Middle Eastern, or black? Would it make a difference? Should it? David Essel, former guest and author of and Rock Star – Finding God’s Purpose for Your Life, and Karyn don’t spend a lot of time on that question but it is a jumping off point for talking about Jesus - who he was, what he stood for and what we should be doing today as his followers.

Racism Isn't Biblical
5/27/2020
A minority of Christians use the Bible to endorse racism. They use verses out of context and distort what the Bible actually says. Well, the Bible doesn't encourage that kind of behavior or thinking. In this episode, we discuss the verses that disprove this false narrative. And several of the ways racists misquote the Bible to say what they want. It’s time the majority of Christians stood up to the racist minority armed with God’s Word.

When It's Good to be B.A.D.
4/22/2020
When is it good to be B.A.D.? When B.A.D. stands for believe, act, do. As Christians what do we believe? How should we act based on those beliefs? What should we do? Our lives are a living and breathing testimony. For many non-believers, we are the only Bible they read; so what we do is just as important as what we believe. It really can be good to be B.A.D.!

Worry

As we face the coronavirus pandemic, another pandemic is spreading: worry.

The Two Commandments
3/25/2020
Everybody knows Moses and the 10 Commandments. Jesus gave just two. What were they? Are we living them? A better question could be, how do we live them? Jesus didn’t just give them, he also exemplified them. Maybe it’s time we tried to do the same.

The Hardest Prayer
2/26/2020
What is the hardest prayer for many of us to pray? Host Karyn Beach talks about it in this episode. Jesus prayed it and showed both his humanity and divinity in the process. It is the reason why it seems as if some of our prayers go unanswered (at least unanswered in the way we would like). It is the reason why we can’t just name and claim anything we want.

2/12/2020
It all started with a jog in the park, a run-in with a homeless man and a five-dollar bill. The result? David Essel’s book, Rock Star: Finding God’s Purpose for Your Life. It’s billed as a short story with a BIG message (and a surprise ending, no less!).

More than Thoughts and Prayers
1/22/2020
“I’ll pray for you.” You’ve heard it and you may have even said it, but what does it really mean? All too often, it becomes just something to say. Many non-Christians (and Christians) roll their eyes every time a crisis or tragedy happens, and people offer their ‘thoughts and prayers’. Outside of actually praying, Karyn talks about some actions that can go with those prayers.

Talkin' Testimony - Bouncing Back
1/8/2020
Success and failure are two sides of the same coin. Yet most of us don’t want to see the other side. What we should remember is Who is flipping the coin. Leanna Bellevue does. She started a business that grew with unprecedented speed and made substantial profits. Then, in a matter of months, she lost it all. It was through this experience that she learned the truth, to rely on God, His will and His guidance. Her failure was a redirection to something new and unexpected.
