I asked my friend, Pastor Jeremy Bannister, to come one and talk about how to set spiritual priorities in your family. We also tackle the tricky topic of extra curricular activities, and overcoming teenage apathy.

LIVE SEASON 6 kickoff! We talked to our friend, Katy Faust, about practical strategies for raising conservative kids in the midst of "woke" ideology, even if they attend public school.

In this special New Year's livestream, I shared some thoughts about ways I've changed since 2020, as well as what I see on the horizon for 2024. This is more of an informal commentary than a Bible teaching.

***Answering a Popular Meme*** Last Christmas I saw a meme depicting Mary (the mother of Jesus) with her fist raised in the air. The artist reimagined Mary's poem in Luke 1 as a “call to economic justice.” I asked my friend, Father Hayden Butler from St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in Newport Beach, CA to come on and help us walk through the true meaning of this passage.

This is the final installment of a three-part teaching series that I am currently doing to try and put the war in Israel into its historical context. It's a complex journey, but there is simply no way to understand what is happening right now in the Middle East without taking the time to understand some key events.

This is part 2 of a three-part teaching series that I am currently doing to try and put the war in Israel into its historical context. It's a complex journey, but there is simply no way to understand what it happening right now in the Middle East without taking the time to understand some key events.

It has been almost two months since the Black Sabbath of October 7 in Israel. I have been on a personal journey to research the history of the state of Israel in an effort to put the current conflict into its historical context. This has proved very challenging. In this three-part teaching series, I attempt to share what I have learned and how it connects to the media propaganda that is coming out on both sides.

The Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) annual meeting is like Comicon for theology nerds. This is the place where evangelical scholars (the people who write the commentaries and study Bibles) present academic papers to each other. Many of these ideas are then taken back into seminaries, ministries, and local churches. In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, Krista is joined by Monique Duson to share their thoughts about some of the papers they heard last week at ETS and how they think these ideas will potentially influence your Christian circles.

While many archaeologists reject the spiritual authority of the Bible and even argue about the details of the history it presents, it is important to remember that even secular archaeologists use the Bible as a tool in their excavation work. Why? Because the Bible describes real events, people, and places. We will talk with filmmaker and biblical archaeologist, Joel Kramer about his unique work to explain the historical accuracy of the Bible to regular people. Check out Joel's book, Where God Came Down: https://www.christianbook.com/where-came-down-archaeological-evidence-hardcover/joel-kramer/9780998037417/pd/037417?event=ESRCG

Here is part 2 of my discussion with my Christian sister, Callie Mitchell, who lives in Israel. I ask for her to share her perspective as an American and Israeli citizen about the political conflicts in Israel. Questions we discussed: • Help us understand the claim that Gaza has been an "open air prison." Is this accurate? • Can you help us understand the saying, "From the River to the Sea Palestine will be Set Free"? • What can you tell us about the history of Hamas? Do they represent the Palestinian people?
