Are the viral rapture predictions for September 23-24, 2025, based on visions and dreams, truly from God? I examine these sensational claims about the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) and the rapture, and provide a biblical perspective on how to test prophetic visions. Join me at the Women in Apologetics Conference, September 26-27, 2025, in Dallas, TX: womenapologetics.com Also see my related blog post: "The Danger of Date-Setting" https://www.theologymom.com/post/the-danger-of-date-setting #Rapture2025 #FeastOfTrumpets #EndTimes #BiblicalDiscernment #ChristianProphecy

I share my perspective on the controversial topic of gay marriage a decade after the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision. Featuring insights from Becket Cook's podcast and queer activist Dean Spade, we explore why many in the gay community question the institution of marriage as a tool of colonialism.

Don't let the tyranny of the urgent decide how to live your life. I've invited my friend, Pastor Jeremy Bannister, to come on the show and talk about how to set intentional priorities that align with God's plan to help us flourish. If you're just starting out in your adult life, this will be a great show to help you avoid common pitfalls. If you're middle aged and wondering what may have gone wrong, this will help you refocus on what what's most important.

Krista is continuing to report on issues related to Israel, Palestine, Judaism and Islam. In this episode, I share the perspective of Arab Christians in Israel. She also explains the challenges she's faced in finding an Arab Christian pastor to share his perspective, the influence of Palestinian liberation theology and claims of Christian persecution in Israel. Featuring a CBN News interview with Pastor Salem Shalash of Jesus the King Church in Nazareth about the equal rights of Christians and religious freedom in Israel, contrasting their experience with persecution in Gaza, Bethlehem, and other Middle Eastern countries. 📌 Sources: 👉 Article: https://www.yahoo.com/news/tucker-carlson-pastor-bethlehem-high-073129844.html 👉 Source for Tucker Carlson clip: https://x.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1954950949073559733 👉 Interview source: https://youtu.be/NqLYdfRCnjg 👉 Article in The Times: https://www.thetimes.com/comment/columnists/article/persecution-christians-abroad-middle-east-tdcc0t0qt 📌 Playlist to my other teachings: "Judaism, Israel, Islam & Middle East Conflict" 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHfxxaVbHJabutB0VrQ6Qp1u4Nrng_LU1 Time stamps of key moments: 1:40 Recap of Israel-related teachings; playlist link 2:11 Challenges in finding Arab Christian pastor 7:42 Arabs as early Christians (Acts 2) 17:19 Interview with Pastor Shalash 28:34 Ignored Christian persecution Register for the Women in Apologetics conference: https://womeninapologetics.com/conference-schedule/ Register for the MAVEN conference: https://www.mavenconferences.com/ #race #justice #biblical #unity #ArabChristians #ChristianPersecution #IsraelChristianity #PalestinianTheology #BiblicalUnity #WomenInApologetics #MavenConference #MiddleEastFaith #BiblicalTheology #ChristianApologetics

We are joined by Them Before Us founder and child rights advocate, Katy Faust, to discuss the impact of the Obergefell decision a decade later. We explore critical insights about why biological family structures matter, whether children’s rights have been compromised, and what Christ-centered, child-first solutions may look like.

Schools are changing fast—far beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. Dive into a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges parents face in navigating today’s public school system, including the impact of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model, and controversial policies like California’s AB495 and Illinois’ mandatory mental health screenings for grades 3-12 starting in the 2027-28 school year. As Christian parents, we’re called to steward our children’s hearts and minds (Deut. 6:6–9; Prov. 1:8; Eph. 6:4). Learn how these initiatives, often tied to equity, critical theory, and data collection, may affect your child’s education and worldview, and explore practical ways to stay informed and protect parental rights. Our aim isn’t panic—it’s clarity, so you can make wise, prayerful decisions for your family.

I react to a recent segment on CNN presenting Doug Wilson's brand of Christian nationalism. Wilson is the founding pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, ID. His controversial views on gender roles, family dynamics, and societal structures are worth being aware of as his influence in some evangelical continues to grow.

The word ethics is an academic word, but we want to go beyond textbooks and ivory towers and give you a practical guide to understanding what ethics really means. Krista talked to our friend, Dr. Joe Miller and got his help to unpack big questions like what makes something right or wrong and how our everyday choices shape a more ethical society. From small personal decisions to big cultural debates, you’ll learn how to recognize ethical grey areas, apply timeless principles, and stand firm in a world where right and wrong often get blurred. 📌 Connect with Dr. Miller: 👉 https://jrmiller777.substack.com/ 📌 Textbooks on Ethics: 👉 Joe's pick: https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Ethics-Living-Pleasing-Revised/dp/1433590840 👉 Krista's pick: https://www.amazon.com/Moral-Choices-Introduction-Scott-Rae/dp/0310536421 📌 Register for the church leadership webinar with Kevin Briggins: 👉 https://centerforbiblicalunity.breezechms.com/form/pastorwebinar 📌 Register for Monique's fall class for teens: 👉 https://center-for-biblical-unity.myshopify.com/products/scripture-and-society-virtual-class-for-teens-fall-2025

We sit down with Hillary Ferrer (founder, Mama Bear Apologetics) to explore how honest questions can strengthen, rather than destroy, our faith. In this episode, we unpack the difference between doubt and deconstruction and why definitions matter for a healthy spiritual life. Monique and Hillary look at biblical examples of faithful doubters and learn practical ways to move from uncertainty to deeper trust. If you’re standing in the dark, unsure what you believe, this conversation will remind you that God welcomes your questions and your wrestling heart.

Many of you have so kindly prayed for me during my dissertation journey. Now that I have officially graduated, I wanted to share with you more details about my research and why I think feminist standpoint theory is reshaping biblical interpretation. Monique interviewed me about my unique research journey on socially located biblical interpretation and how intersectionality and cultural lenses are transforming evangelical preaching and theology. You'll also get to eavesdrop on the short presentation that I gave at my defense summarizing my research. #FeministStandpointTheory #BiblicalInterpretation #EvangelicalTheology #SociallyLocatedTheology
