Her Faith Inspires Podcast

It's easy to see that Christmas is commercialized in our culture, but does that mean Christians shouldn't celebrate it? What about the Christians who celebrate Christmas and do Santa with their kids? Is that a sin? Shanda talks about Christmas myths and legends and the importance of a Christian's abiliity to explain why the virgin birth doesn't fall into either of these genres. Finally, Shanda touches on the "Christmas is pagan" debate and how to respond.

God with man is what makes Christianity unique to any other religion. To dwell among us is the heart of God. In the Old Testament, we see David's desire to build a house for God. But even David understood that no house could hold the presence of God. When Jesus walked the earth, God took on flesh and dwelt among us. The angel proclaimed, "Immanuel, God with us." It was a concept too great to fathom. Now that Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, His desire is to still dwell among us, but the temple is not the same. Shanda talks about the temple of God in the Old Testament, New Testament, and today. Immanuel, God with us will mean so much more to you than ever before.

We break up these chapters into: Creation, Fall 1 (Adam and Eve), Fall 2 (The Flood), Fall 3 (Babel). Get your note taking tools out. It's going to be a great discussion and educational too.

What are the indicators of the victim mentality? Excuses and blame go as far back as Genesis 3 and we are all susceptible to it. But what happens when we nurture a culture of people with a victim mentality? We get a thankless generation. Paul told Timothy that the last days would be difficult because people are thankless. With the rise of critical race theory and an oppressor/oppressed view of society, it is no wonder more people see themsevles as victims. Shanda takes you through scripture to learn how to keep your eyes on God's blessings in a thankless generation.

Does the Bible tell us to love ourselves? Many Christian women believe it does. They always use the analogy that you have to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others with theirs. While the Bible does not promote self-loathing, it does talk to us about loving God and loving others. Shanda also talks about how to properly do self-care in a culture that is all about me, myself, and I. Listen to this archived episode and be reminded that self-love is a lie!
