The Untold Story of Deborah

Women's Christian Series Episode 2: The Untold Story of Deborah. Today, we are going to talk about the story of Deborah found in Judges Chapters 4-5.  Deborah was a prophet, a judge, a military warrior and is known as the Mother of Israel. But did you know God chose a woman named Jael to end the reign of a King? 
This is just one of many stories we will be learning on how God has continually placed women in leadership roles, just as Jesus needed women to share his message, and Paul needed women to help establish the churches and to teach ministers the gospel of Christ. 
Please join me in this message of hope and strength many women are seeking in their lives today.

How God Defines Women

Christian Women Series Episode 1. Today's show is about How God Defines Women and is the first in our Christian Women's Series. Over the past several years, there have been multiple discussions about how culture wants to change what God has created in his image. Whether it is the emasculated ideology that is trying to change the definitions of who we are as a woman, or the false teachings that insists on banning women from the pulpit, neither group has the right to change or limit who God made women to be. We are also going to talk about the bombshell report that was recently made public that involves the Southern Baptist Convention that is going to tie this episode together. 
Prior to the split of the SBC, the organization allowed women to be ordained ministers. What caused the split and what new doctrine was created that expelled women from the pulpit? How does the bombshell report of the sexual abuse claims and the mistreatment of abuse survivors tie into the SBC Conservative Resurgence doctrine that is responsible for keeping women from ministry leadership in the SBC and should this force a correction regarding this doctrine?
There is a lot of talk about, so LISTEN to this episode of How God Defines Women.

The Humanity Quotient

How do you value the humanity quotient? What happens when the humanity quotient goes to zero? 
Since 1776, the Constitution has used Christian values in the Bible to determine the humanity quotient. But when secular society wants to eliminate Christian principles and values, then what is left?
The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in 1963 about the separation of church and state, came with a warning. Justice Arthur Goldberg, one of the 5 liberal judges on the Supreme Court warned "against extreme interpretation of government neutrality on religions becoming a brooding and pervasive devotion to the secular and a passive, or even active, hostility to the religions. 
We now have unprecedented levels of hostility against Christians, Christian values and principles that provide a civil society. How did we get to this point in society? It was through the introduction of the field of Social Psychology, and the manipulation of social peer pressure to fundamentally change American values. As Thomas Sowell said, "You have people making decisions for which they pay no price when they are wrong, no matter how high the price other people pay." 
LISTEN to learn how the use of Social Psychology has changed the humanity quotient. 
 
 

How to Resurrect Christian Values in America

Today, I am going to continue looking at biblical principles and values used to formulate the governing documents of the United States, with a closer look at the 1844 U.S. Supreme Court decision that set the stage for religious liberty, the rise of the anti-God movement, and what we can do as Christians within Constitutional guidelines to bring these biblical principles back into the schools and our society.
The Supreme Court Justices rules that Christianity is essential to society. They believed that "the government must have an alliance with religion to some extent and that Christianity is indispensable to the true interests and solid foundations of all free governments and that the Holy Bible is essential in the required teaching of Christian moral principles. They stated the government needed to accommodate religion without violating the rights of conscience.
This was the ruling that has guided every ethics and laws since 1844; that is until 1963, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that daily biblical readings were unconstitutional. But this ruling has been misused for 60 years. It wasn't the U.S. Supreme Court that eliminated the Bible from public schools. 
Listen to learn who used their unconstitutional authority to remove the Bible from public schools and how what laws we can use to bring back biblical principles and values.

Liberty Preserving Principles: A Guide to Protecting Our Freedoms

In today's show, we are going to identify the problem with the word "religion" and the erosion of our Country's foundational principles and values. We are going to take a look at the biblical principles that have shaped our country, the warning made by the founding fathers of a godless society, the current attempts at unraveling the fabric of our institutions, and what we need to do to regain civility in our country and the world.
Those who have read the Bible, have seen what happens to a godless society. All of this that is happening right now, all of it, has happened before. We are not as sophisticated as we would like to believe. It is even predictable if you know history. Same sin. Same destruction. Same enemy.
Join the conversation on learning what our founding fathers were most afraid of when they signed the Declaration of Independence, and more importantly, are their fears coming true? We already know what to do to have a good and civil society. But how many are willing to do it? 

Battle Plan of the Enemy

In today's episode, Battle Plan of the Enemy, we are going to take a biblical approach to what we need to do to overcome the enemy and the challenges we are facing within the church to fight it.
We have witnessed thousands around the world celebrating Hamas' savagery of rape, murder, the slaughter of innocent men, women and children, and the beheading of infants. There is never justification for this type of demonic evil. Hatred blinds truth.
In Romans 12, it is very clear we are not to repay evil with evil.  So how do we eliminate this evil? The temptation of fighting evil with evil goes back to the Babylonian times and King David grappled with the same emotions we are experiencing today. Learn what he said, and how God answered with His revenge against Babylon. 
We know who the enemy is, and we know his tactics, and we know how to defeat him. Listen to this episode to learn how.

Preserving Family Alignment with Jesus: 6 Strategies Amidst Threats to Parental Rights

Parental rights are being targeted and parents don't know what to do about it. We are going to take a look at 6 strategies to help Christian Families stay in alignment with God in this secular world.
The Bible warns us about trusting human nature. Secularism promotes putting self-first yet refuses to address the true pressures of standing alone and the crippling disappointments when life doesn't work out the way you want or planned. 
This is why we have to stop looking for secular ways in solving this problem and go directly to the Bible to discover answers. Just as the Bible provides solutions for marriage and parenting problems, the Bible also has stories of similar situations and how these problems were solved through the church. 
We are going to discuss the Book of Titus and how culture almost destroyed the early churches in Crete. We are going to talk about how Titus revamped the church and how we must do the same. We are in a spiritual warfare, and we know who the enemy is and how to defeat him. But we need the church to lead the way. 
God does not compromise, even if culture and government demands it.

My Testimony How God is Still Performing Miracles

When God put on my heart to share my testimony, my first reaction was "NOPE!". But when God wants you to do something, "nope" is not an option. I was born with an anxiety disorder that wasn't discovered by medical science until about 20 years ago. I was not diagnoses until 10 years ago, and I didn't find a doctor who understood my condition until 3 years ago.  It was during the pandemic when the lockdowns and the non-stop daily push of fear driven rhetoric sent my anxiety into hyper overdrive. This brought me to the lowest point in my life. I had lost hope. 
This was in July 2020. I had to get away from the forced isolation and negativity when I found a church that was open. The sermon was about depression, anger and forgiveness. Each week, I felt God's presence, and it was a love I had never experienced before. By September, I was ready to give my life and my will to Jesus. Once I did, my entire body began to heal.  LISTEN to hear about my journey, going from years of not being able to communicate due to a disruption during cognitive brain development when I was child, to becoming a Christian Author, Speaker, Bible study teacher and a podcaster 3 years after receiving God's miracles. Learn about the connection between my disorder and the Gender Dysphoria movement. You won't want to miss it.
