Welcome back to the show! In today’s episode, I’m answering the question, “Where did the term ‘Trinity’ come from?” If you’re a new Christian or just not sure why this question would be posed, it’s because the term “Trinity” is not actually found in the Bible. In fact, that is a major contention of those who oppose the Trinitarian doctrine. My goal today is to share a little church history to help you understand how that term came ...

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I sat to speak with Dr. Mike Licona, a New Testament scholar, professor of New Testament studies, author and speaker. We discussed his most recent book, Jesus, Contradicted: Why the Gospels Tell the Same Story Differently, which addresses contradictions in the gospels and offers, what he believes to be, more plausible approaches to understanding those differences.
Welcome back to the show and to our final episode in the Cancer Survivor Series. This episode is very special because, as you may know, October is officially breast cancer awareness month and I wanted to bring someone onto the show who has walked through the refining fire of breast cancer. So, I decided to bring on my friend, podcasting peer, and our sister in Christ, Tanya Engesether.
We are in part 3 of the Cancer Survivor Series, and today I am speaking about the struggles of cancer survivorship, how God’s grace can be repulsive (yes, I said REPULSIVE), and how negative feelings stem from a distorted view of God. Throughout this episode, I unpack the struggles of surviving cancer and how God's loving kindness was painful to receive.
