Shanna is joined by Michelle Holmgren to talk about the theology of parenting. Scripture tells us that children are a gift from the Lord and that they bear His image. And while parenting is a call to shepherd their hearts, it’s also a tool God uses to shape ours.

We’ll talk about how family discipleship can happen in everyday moments, how to avoid performance-based parenting, and how to rest in the truth that God is the perfect pare...

From His heavenly throne, Jesus continues His work as our Prophet, Priest, and King. Join Shanna as s...

We see the character of God all over the story of Ruth even though He is only mentioned just a few times. The story of Ruth and Naomi is one that highlights many of God's characteristics including his compassion and provision. We see the introduction of the Kinsman-Redeemer and how God used the seemingly insignificant events in Ruth's story to connect her to the lineage of David and ultimately, to be mentioned in the line...

For many, Revelation is a bit intimidating. It’s a big book with a lot of weird characters in it. And yet, for the last 2000 years, the book of Revelation has put courage into the spines of Christians. Revelation says that despite what we see and experience, Christ is on his throne and ruling on high, and we are able to live faithfully in the moment of time that G...
