Theology Mom || All The Things

The issue of antisemitism continues to be a strong theme in the news. I have been on quite a personal journey with this topic and I'm finally going to share some of what I've learned with you. I hope you find it helpful.

Last November, we attended Dr. Owen Strachan's fiery presentation at ETS. So naturally, we immediately introduced ourselves and tried to get him on our podcast. We talked about the manosphere phenomenon and his thoughts for what it means to be a Christian man.

Today is the first episode in my podcast series for 2025 on Theology Mom's Advice. I share my thoughts and opinions on a wide variety of real life issues. In this episode, I explain my concerns about the reality that many Christians spend more time consuming online media than reading God’s word and the impacts that has on our theology. How can parents correct this and how important is having a right theology as you raise and disciple your kids? Check out the work of my friends at Brave Parenting: https://braveparenting.net/

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE CULTURE, YOU BEGIN BY CHANGING LANGUAGE. The enemies of the gospel know this all too well. They’ve been cunningly at work redefining our faith's most fundamental words, such as love, marriage and justice, and then embedding them in our institutions and school curriculum. Their goal is to transform society to reflect their harmful, anti-Christian beliefs. As followers of Jesus Christ, how should we respond? We talk to our friend, Scott Allen (from Disciple Nations Alliance) about how to recover the true definition of these foundational words.

Trying to study and understand the issue of Christian nationalism has been a long and winding road for me. When it started popping up on social media two years ago, I didn't even know what to do with the topic. Monique and I have had a few public conversations about it, but I haven't shared too much about my personal views. I've been in a mode of learning. In this teaching, I explain my journey with the topic and the key questions involved in the debate. This is a rebroadcast of a Family Meeting livestream at the Center for Biblical Unity.

SEASON 7 KICK-OFF! We talked to our friend, Natasha Crain, Author and Speaker, about her forthcoming book, When Culture Hates You. How Christians can engage more boldly in the public square without compromising their faith? Order the book: https://www.amazon.com/When-Culture-Hates-You-Persevering/dp/0736984313

You asked for it, you got it. I went to see the Bonhoeffer film over the weekend. So I thought I'd share a few thoughts about Bonhoeffer's theology and the recent film.

Assassin.?" https://www.angel.com/blog/bonhoeffer/posts/whats-true-in-bonhoeffer-pastor-spy-assassin

Krista shares a NEW teaching today, outlining a better––more biblically informed––path when it comes to hiring. NOTE: This is a rebroadcast of a livestream that I did at the Center for Biblical Unity. Previous teachings: • Good, Bad & Ugly of Diversity Hiring | Family Meeting | 3/7/24 -- https://www.youtube.com/live/qyKlpP75rAw?si=K_i6yVjXjZ5xUath •Representation: What Does it Mean? | Family Meeting | 3/14/24 –– https://www.youtube.com/live/HCD0dDXpEVI?si=cAH2UccDwtE08YVO • The Shell Game of DIVERSITY | Family Meeting | 9/4/24 -- https://www.youtube.com/live/X0O3DCKtJe0?si=-njm9U2LUw78DzAI

One of the most common questions I get from new Christians or Christians who are returning to the Faith is about Bible translations. Many people are confused about why there are so many and what are the differences between them. In this teaching, I present a very basic overview of the major issues. Toward the end, I share some things to look for in a good study Bible.

Wow! What a year season 6 has been! (Who remembers our season kickoff with Katie Faust?) Don't miss our season finale. We are doing our annual Ask Us Anything show, along with some Walking in Unity related giveaways. It's going to be a lot of fun!
