Here She Stands

In this Interview we explore the journey of Sal Huckel, as she discusses her experience with minimalism. From decluttering her home to creating intentional spaces for education and music, Sal shares how minimalism has brought peace and clarity to her family. By focusing on what is truly important and letting go of excess, they have found more time for faith, hospitality, and serving others. Our chat also highlighted the connection between minimalism and the Christian faith, emphasizing the importance of aligning possessions with God's calling on our lives and being generous towards others.   Show Notes: Some Scriptures recommended by Sal: Exodus 20: The Ten Commandments Deuteronomy 6: Living our everyday faith and life with our children Luke 12:13-21 The Parable of the Rich Fool Matthew 6:19: Treasures in Heaven Matthew 18:9 What causes us to sin?

Happy Reformation Day! On this day 506 years ago, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses onto the Castle Church door in Wittenberg.  His intention was to challenge the Roman Catholic church to debate their practice of selling indulgences as a form of penance.  This simple act started the Lutheran Reformation and brought much needed attention to the true gospel. To celebrate such a monumental day for Lutherans, we are chatting with Kim Pfeiffer.  She will be talking about what it means to be Lutheran and the importance of our Lutheran Confessions. Kim is married to Pastor Joshua Pfeiffer, and together they have 4 children. Originally from Adelaide, they are currently living in St Louis Missouri, where Pastor Joshua is studying his PhD and where Kim is now also studying a Masters of Arts in Theology.   SHOW NOTES Book of Concord (Lutheran Confessions) - To purchase https://www.cph.org/concordia-the-lutheran-confessions-a-readers-edition-of-the-book-of-concord-2nd-edition Book of Concord - Read free online https://bookofconcord.org/ Treasury of Daily Prayer https://www.cph.org/treasury-of-daily-prayer-regular-edition English Translation of the Martin Luther’s 95 Theses http://reverendluther.org/pdfs/The_Ninety-Five_Theses.pdf  

Lexy may be the host of a Lutheran podcast, but she hasn’t always been Lutheran. Before coming into the Lutheran church, she spent years in the Word of Faith/NAR movement. Her daily spiritual life included forms of gnosticism, mysticism, and “soft” occultism, which eventually resulted in spiritual oppression and confusion. In today’s episode we hear how Jesus Christ pulled her out of this darkness, gave her a love of Scripture, and brought her into the Lutheran church.   That “guy on YouTube” who makes bingo games out of false prophecies: Chris Rosebrough - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQJ09KmcApQ   YouTube Channels about Word of Faith/NAR/New Age: Chris Rosebrough - https://www.youtube.com/@Fighting4theFaith Steven Kozar - https://www.youtube.com/@StevenKozarMessedUpChurch Justin Peters - https://www.youtube.com/@JustinPetersMin Melissa Doughtery - https://www.youtube.com/@MelissaDougherty Doreen Virtue - https://www.youtube.com/@Doreen_Virtue Steven Bancarz - https://www.youtube.com/@StevenBancarz Jesse Westwood - https://www.youtube.com/@thewestwoodhome   Lutheran Channels: Bryan Wolfmueller - https://www.youtube.com/@PastorBryanWolfmueller Jordan Cooper - https://www.youtube.com/@DrJordanBCooper Joshua Pfeiffer - https://www.youtube.com/@JoshuaPfeiffer John Kleinig - https://www.youtube.com/@johnkleinig2602   Dramatised Audio Bible on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=depMGA0umrY   Find us on: Facebook: - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091391019981 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hereshestandspodcast/ Podcast Host - https://hereshestandspodcast.alitu.com/1?order=newest Website - https://hereshestands.online/   Recorded on 25th August, 2023
