Her Faith Inspires Podcast

As Christians, we often assume because we show up to church we are developing a biblical worldview. Parents assume that because they send their kids to a Christian school, their children are developing a biblical worldview. However, studies show worldview development is taught, not caught. Elizabeth is a former Christian school teacher and she quickly learned that many of her students coming from a Christian home had a syncretized (blended) worldview. It was more like Chrisitianity + a set of beliefs from a secular worldview. She wasn't satisfied with what she saw and knew the Lord was drawing her to create a curriculum for children that integreated a biblical worldview. If you wonder why a biblical worldview matters, listen to this!

If you speak positive words over yourself, will you begin to believe them? Does what we say make us more positive or do our words come from a deeper place that cannot be changed by mere words? People who speak words of affirmations over themselves believe if they speak them enough, they will end up changing their own minds. Declarations are when people speak words in order to take possession or control over something. Shanda talks about the power of our words using affirmations and declarations. If you need a little more positivity in your life, Shanda will give you some advice on where the true power of our words comes from and the words you should rely on to better yourself.

Every few months it seems like a well-known Christian leaves the Faith. It's as if there's a deconstruction movement and those who jump on the trend are applauded for their bravery. Leaving "toxic Christianity" for a more inclusive and passive Jesus sounds appealing and it seems to be catching on. David Wolcott has studied Progressive Christianity and knows more about the deconstruction trend than most. He is on the show to discuss why this is poplular in Christianity, why deconstructing isn't always a bad thing, and how you can understand and help those who jump on the deconstruction trend.

The right to life is a fundamental right that preceeds all other rights. Many argue that abortion is a Christian belief and we should keep our opinions out of it. Are they right? Scott Klusendorf is the best pro-life apologist who coaches pro-life advocates on how to engage with others and defend the unborn. Since the overturning of Roe v Wade, the heat has been turned up and Christians must step up and fight for life. If you are on the fence about abortion rights, or if you just don't know how to have these conversations with pro-choice advocates, this is a must listen.

According to a recent study, more than 50% of American Christians say they share the gospel, however, many Christians don't know what the gospel is.

Can you leave out words like sin, hell, and judgment when talking about the gospel? Let's talk about it!

Who split the calendar from BC to AD? Who is mentioned by nearly every major religion in the world? Many who claim to be Christians today believe that Jesus is not the only way to Heaven. When it comes down to it Jesus offends many who want to choose any other way but Him to the Father. Shanda revised this listener favorite to explain why Jesus is so offensive but why He is the hope of the world.

There is a difference between the relationship with God that was possible in the Old Testament compared to the relationship possible through Jesus. No one called God father in the Old Testament. The reconciliation offered through Christ made God not only approachable, but made the adoption into His family possible. There is no other religion known to man where God came to His own. And, there is no other religion known to man where God puts Himself in the position as your Father once you accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Christmas is so much more than a manger scene. This episode will remind everyone of the love God has for His people and the desire to have an intimate relationship with each one of us.

Doubt is not neutral. It never stays put. It will draw you further away from God or, if dealt with correctly, doubt can help you become a stronger Christian. However, doubt is something everyone deals with because it is not only a Christian problem - it is a human problem. Shanda reviews Bobby Conway's book Doubting Toward Faith in this episode. She pulls out the most significant struggles Christians have when they doubt, and she lays out the tips given by Bobby to help you move through doubt toward a greater faith in God. This episode is not only for those who doubt, but for those who know others struggling with doubts of their own. By the end of the episode you will want to do two things: buy the book and read it, and NEVER break the number one rule when someone tells you they have doubts.

Parenting isn't easy and mom guilt is real. There's no denying most cultural battles today are centered around children and what's best for them. One of the approaches parents are taking is gentle parenting. It's a method that eliminates discipline and focuses on raising independent kids through empthay and understanding. But is that the biblical view of parenting? Haley Williams discusses the biblical approach to parenting and why many lessons parents teach their kids have the possibility for the salvation message, forgiveness, and the hope of restored relationships. This is an encouraging episode and a great reminder for parents as we learn to steer our children in a culture that is growing increasingly hostile toward biblical parenting.
