We live in a day and age where stress, fear, worry, and anxiety are running rampant in our culture and society. However, these factors are not a part of the abundant life and plan in which God destines for you to experience. However, II Corinthians 10:5 reminds us of a strategy to overcome the negative, maladaptive thoughts in our lives by stating, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Joining us today to provide additional guidance and wisdom from this passage is a renowned speaker, author, and Bible teacher, Margaret Feinberg. Host of the popular podcast, The Joycast, Margaret Feinberg is a popular Bible teacher and speaker at churches and leading conferences such as Extraordinary Women, Thrive and Women of Joy. She is also the creator of best-selling coloring and creative books for grown ups.

She was recently named one of 50 women most shaping culture and the church today by Christianity Today. Margaret lives in Utah with her husband, Leif, and their superpup, Zoom. She believes some of the best days are spent around a table with amazing food and friends. Our prayer is that you would be educated, encouraged, and equipped with practical tips and strategies to take every thought captive in your life as well no matter the season you may find yourself in.  Margaret's Website: https://margaretfeinberg.com/about/  The Joycast: https://margaretfeinberg.com/joycast  Margaret's Books & Bible Studies: https://www.margaretfeinbergstore.com/collections/all  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

November 29, 2024 Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Bible Teacher, Novelist, and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Friday, November 29, 2024, and this is episode #24 in Series 2024. This episode is titled, “HELL Is a Real Place."Thousands of people today think that Hell is only a figment of one's imagination. An imaginary place that doesn't really exist. After all, why would a good and loving God send people to Hell?While the question is valid, if one thinks this way, one does not understand the nature of God and the depravity of man. You see, my friend, God is both merciful and just. Mercy and justice are two sides of the same coin of the Being Who is called God. When God created man and woman—and yes, He created only two genders, male and female—God gave them free will and dominion over the earth. He placed two trees in the Garden of Eden--the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. God warned Adam and Eve not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil but to eat only of the Tree of Life. If they ate of the Tree of Life, they would be blessed. But if they disobeyed God and ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they would be cursed.Why? Because God did not want them to experience evil, only good. If they rebelled against Him to obtain knowledge of evil, however, they would be cursed. Notice that God forbade them to eat of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God wanted to protect Adam and Eve—and all of us—from knowing evil and, as a result, from experiencing the curse of death.Let me ask you a question: Has it been of any benefit to you to learn about evil? Has knowing evil done you any good? If we're honest, none of us wants evil in our lives. Yet, we experience evil because Adam and Eve, the original parents of the entire human race, disobeyed God. So, how does all of this relate to Hell? Interestingly, all of this is closely related to Hell. When God warned Adam and Eve against rebelling and disobeying Him, He also warned them that disobedience would bring a curse. That curse was eternal separation from God. In other words, God said that if Adam and Eve disobeyed Him, they would open themselves up to His justice.What is God's justice? God's justice is His perspective on sin and His punishment for sin. God hates sin. He is holy, and sin cannot stand in His Presence. Moreover, God punishes sin because it violates His holiness and goodness. All who participate in sin place themselves under the verdict of God's judgment. And God's judgment for sin is eternal separation from Him in a place of everlasting torment. In other words, HELL. Hell is a real place, and you don't want to go there. When He was on earth, Jesus spoke more about Hell than He did about Heaven. Let's look at some verses on Hell:Romans 6: 23 - "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."Matthew 25: 41 - "Then he [God] will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." You see, my friend, Hell was not prepared for man, only for the devil and his angels. But the man who rejects God will go to Hell.Revelation 20: 15 - "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."One of Satan's craftiest lies in our age has been to convince people there is no hell. After all, as the argument goes, why would a good God send people to Hell?To be clear, my friend, God does not send anyone to Hell. People send themselves to Hell. How? By rejecting Jesus Christ as the One Who died and rose from the dead to save them so that they could escape Hell and go to Heaven. If one rejects the very Savior Who could save him the only one who could save him, there i sno other way to save him. Don't make this same mistake. Choose life now by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord.

November 23, 2024 Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Bible Teacher, Novelist, and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Saturday, November 23, 2024, and this is episode #23 in Series 2024. This episode is titled, “Are You a Good Person?" If asked that question, most people today would say "Yes, I am a good person." Perhaps you are one of these people. Perhaps you consider yourself a good person because you've never killed anyone, nor ever punched anyone in the face, nor ever hurt an animal—or some such reason. Perhaps you would tell me that you're nice to people or that you let people be who they are. I would then reply, "Have you ever taken the Good Test?"What is the Good Test? The Good Test is a powerful test that identifies whether or not you are truly a good person. I've posted the link to the test in the show notes at the end of this podcast, and I urge you to take the test.Here are some of the questions you would be asked on the Good Test:__Have you ever lied?__Have you ever stolen anything, no matter how seemingly insignificant, like a paper clip from work?__Have you ever used God's name in vain?__Have you ever lusted sexually or otherwise?How would you answer these questions? If you're like the rest of humanity, you would have to answer "yes" to every question. Why? Because these questions reveal God's definition of "good," and every one of us has violated that definition. You see, my friend, God's standard for good is not the same as man's standard for good. Man creates his own standard for good based on his personal beliefs. Man makes the standard for good a subjective issue when, in reality, it is not at all subjective. It is objective. The standard for good is absolute and is determined by God and God alone. He alone is good. Therefore, He alone has the right and the ability to set the standard for what is good and what is not good.So, what is God's standard for good? We can find His standard for good in the Ten Commandments. If we don't meet the standard for good found in the Ten Commandments, then God does not consider us good. And God's opinion is the only one that matters.Why? Because when we die, we will face God, and He will determine whether we are good or not. If God determines that a person is not good, that person will go to Hell. But if God determines that a person is good, that person will go to Heaven.So how can we know what God will determine about us? How can we know if, when we stand before God—and every person will stand before God when he or she dies—how can we know if God will deem us good and bring us to Heaven or deem us not good and send us to Hell? You may be thinking, "Why would a good God send anyone to hell?"Great question! Here is the answer. Would a good judge let the guilty go free? Of course not! Only a corrupt judge would let the guilty go free? Since God is a good Judge, He has to punish the guilty. He has to punish sin. He cannot look the other way. And He won't.But in addition to being a good Judge, God is also a merciful Judge. Scripture says in 2 Peter 3: 9 that God is not willing for anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance. Because God knew that man could never pay the price for his sin, God chose to pay the price for man. What amazing love! God loved us so much that He chose to become a man himself so that He could take our place in going to the Cross.You see, my friend, by rights, each one of us should have gone to the Cross ourselves. Each one of us should have been killed for our sin. But not only killed. Each one of us should have gone to Hell for all eternity. But Jesus did all that for us. Why? Because He loved us.When we look at the Ten Commandments, we realize that it is impossible to keep all of them all the time. In fact, the Ten Commandments were given to us to show us how impossible it is for us to keep them, to meet God's standard. Even if we have obeyed every one of the commandments b...

November 16, 2024Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Bible Teacher, Novelist, and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Saturday, November 16, 2024, and this is episode #22 in Series 2024. This episode is titled, “The Truth about Healing."Recently, I was severely criticized for my position on healing. Interestingly, the criticism came not from non-Christians who don't believe in Jesus Christ, but from born-again, Christ-Followers who do. While the criticism troubled me, it troubled me for a reason other than what you might think. I wasn't at all troubled because I was criticized. Jesus warned us believers that criticism would come, and I have certainly had my share over the years. The criticism troubled me because the critics, for whatever reason, were missing out on one of the greatest blessings Jesus Christ died to give all of us. The blessing of healing and health. Whenever a question comes up about a topic, we should go first to the Word of God. The Word of God is like a referee. It alone determines the truth or error of a particular belief or belief system.So let's take a close look at what Jesus Himself said about healing. First, God makes clear in His Word that healing is in the Atonement. The Atonement is the reconciliation between God and humanity that Jesus brought about by dying on the Cross and rising from the dead. Through the Atonement, Jesus paid the price for the forgiveness of our sin and the healing of our bodies. We acknowledge this truth every time we take Holy Communion. The wine represents the Blood of Jesus that earned for us the forgiveness of our sin. The Bread represents the Body of Jesus that paid for our physical healing. Jesus died to save the whole person, not just the spiritual person. Now, God is not only able to heal us; He wants to heal us. And even more than that, He has already healed us. When Jesus took the 39 lashes on His back just before being crucified, He paid for our healing. He took our sickness and disease and, in exchange, gave us His health. Let's look closely at some Scripture verses that reveal this truth: __Matthew 8: 17 NLT - "This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said, 'He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.'” Notice Jesus “took our infirmities” —our sicknesses—and “bare [or "bore" in modern English] our sicknesses” so that we would not have to bear them. __Psalm 103: 2-3 NLT - "Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things He does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases." Notice: God heals ALL our diseases; not some, but ALL. Just as He forgives all of our sins, He heals all of our diseases. Imagine if we believed that God forgives only some of our sins or that He forgives the sins of only some people, but not the sins of all people. I don't know of anyone who believes in that kind of partial forgiveness of sin by God. Yet, that is exactly what we believe about healing. Why would the God Who forgives all sin heal only some sickness?We Christians sometimesdon't think straight. We don't carry their thinking to its logical conclusion but we hold on to tradition or wrong teaching without ever questioning it.Here is another Scripture verse on healing: —-Mark 11: 24 NJKV - "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."Notice: This verse instructs us to believe when we pray, not when we receive the answer to our prayer. If we believe when we pray, then we receive what we prayed for the instant we pray for it. But, the manifestation—or the showing up—of what we prayed for usually comes later. For example, I believe that I receive healing the instant I pray for it, but the healing may not show up in my body until later. Sometimes a lot later. God's will for healing is clear in the verses I cited above, and in many other verses throughout the Sacred...

If we think of Ozzy Osbourne or Manson and all of those people that were sort of a part of this sort of occult, satanic worship and the hip hop plan. How many souls could have been saved if we would have seen Satan's agenda and tried to stop it?”Hip-hop's evolution from art form to a recognized religious influence has shaped perceptions worldwide.Music in general has a profound effect on the human mind, since it affects both left and right brains.It's vital to consider the spiritual messages woven into all the music you listen to.[07:05] Blurry Con and Spiritual WarfareBlurry Con was a conference that viewed supernatural topics through a Biblical lens. The speakers shared their stories of real-life spiritual resistance.Spiritual warfare isn't just an internal battle. It can affect your daily life and your real-world interactions — that's why the faithful need to stay vigilant and spiritually equipped.There are several unseen forces that impact the world and society at large.Blurry Con wasn't without its own strange happenings, such as a sudden power outage during the discussion on spiritual warfare.[12:27] Education and Moral Standards in SocietySchool curricula have changed over the years, making it important for us to scrutinize what our children are learning.Young minds are now able to see different perspectives and learn from different cultural influences instead of being locked to a single viewpoint.A broader education will have a significant effect on younger generations.It's still valuable to have a strong, faith-based identity. This identity is best built at home.It's a good idea to focus on biblical principles and engage in discussions that build resilience and a moral foundation.[16:57] Identity in ChristKnowing your true identity in Christ builds a foundation that influences choices, relationships, and inner strength.Embracing that identity also helps believers withstand spiritual attacks and live with courage.But the effects aren't just within. A solid sense of identity shapes a person's response to everyday trials and moral dilemmas.[17:21] Jenny: “I just think that God's moving. I think we saw it with the storm Milton too, the amount of people that prayed and really stood in their authority.”[21:42] Role of Faith and Authority in Spiritual LifeChristians who stand firm against dark influences always witness their faith prevail.[22:05] Lori: “Occultists understand the supernatural better than Christians do, and that sucks, and it shouldn't be that way.”Jenny and Lori share personal stories on how embracing spiritual authority adds purpose and confidence to a Christian's walk.We should all remember that faith in action, supported by biblical truths, enables us to be unshaken by the challenges and influences of the world.About Jenny MireJenny Mire is a passionate faith leader, podcast host, and co-founder of Rooted Truth a ministry dedicated to helping people understand their identity in Christ and walk boldly in spiritual truth.

Send us a textBut how do you teach the Bible? So that students will learn?Special Guest Alert: Karen Workun! In this engaging episode Zac Workun and his guest Karen Workun dive deep into effective strategies for teaching scriptural texts. Karen shares her unexpected passion for genealogy, likening it to storytelling through concise biographies, and how this interest parallels the narrative engagement required in studying and teaching the Bible. Zac talks about the art of creating a "learning tree," drawing connections through recurring names and themes in scripture to enhance comprehension.Managing The Ministry CalendarWith the holiday season in full swing, we share the reality of juggling ministry life with family commitments. Organizing the chaos requires teamwork, and we've developed some strategies to keep everything running smoothly. From shared digital calendars to Sunday night family meetings, these tools help us avoid last-minute surprises and ensure everyone is on the same page. Our wall calendar serves as a visual anchor for prayer lists and personal goals, providing a clearer picture of the week's priorities amidst the festive frenzy.Teaching the Bible *Teacher's Version* Building strong relationships is at the heart of effective ministry, especially with teenagers. We explore the art of making complex texts relatable and engaging, whether we're teaching literature or scripture. By fostering curiosity and encouraging collaborative exploration, we aim to create a space where young minds can connect personally and intellectually with scripture. We believe in asking key questions like "What did you notice?" and "What did you wonder?" to spark engagement and build a community of learners, where both students and leaders grow together in their understanding and appreciation of biblical texts.About our guest Karen WorkunKaren's insights draw from her extensive 15+ years classroom teaching experience. She is a proponent of emphasizing the need for teachers to slow down and not rush through scripture, recognizing the fast-paced world students navigate today. She encourages leveraging various communication tools beyond classroom settings to maintain engagement.Support the showJoin the community!

A little over a week ago, my husband and I celebrated 55 blessed years of marriage. I call those years "blessed" because during our growth as a couple, we discovered the fundamental secret of a fulfilling marriage. If you listen until the end of this podcast, you will learn what that secret is.Young people frequently tell me that they are afraid to get married. When I ask them why, their responses always reveal an underlying fear. Here are some of those fears:1__Fear of marrying the wrong person.2__Fear of divorce.3__Fear of commitment.4__Fear of the unknown.5__Fear of interference with one's career.I could go on and on with other reasons, but the five I named above are the most common.Interestingly, all of the reasons these precious young people give me include the word fear. When young people observe the marriages of their parents or their friends' parents, they generally do not like what they see. And, in my opinion—and perhaps in yours as well—this is a sad situation, indeed.So what's going on?Here are some reasons I've discovered from 55 years of marriage and 25 years as a Life Coach helping others in their marriages:Reason #1. Selfishness. When we get married, we usually think, first and foremost, what's in it for me. Sure, we say we want the best for our spouse—and we do—but when the rubber meets the road, and we find ourselves in a situation where we have to sacrifice what we want for the good of our spouse, we often sing a different tune. Reason #2. A Misunderstanding of the Meaning of True Love. Few people understand the true meaning of love. If asked, most would define love as a feeling. But the truth is that love, in its essence, is not a feeling. It is a Person, and that Person is Jesus Christ. Moreover, treating our spouse with love is a decision, not a feeling. When we use feelings as the arbiter of love, we will always come up short. How many times have you heard a spouse say, "I don't love him anymore. I don't love her anymore." The truth is that spouse does not want to love his or her mate. That spouse wants to love only himself or herself.3. Failure to prioritize your marriage relationship. We live in a culture of wrong priorities. We focus on the least important things rather than on the most important ones. For a marriage to succeed, we must put our relationship with our spouse above every other relationship except our relationship with God. This includes children. Far too many wives put their children above their husbands, and far too many husbands put their jobs above their wives. Both attitudes lead to failure in marriage.Failure is not only defined as divorce. Failure in marriage can be displayed in a growing distance between husband and wife, in poor communication, and, worst of all, in apathy. Remember this: No relationship, especially the marriage relationship, is static. It will either move forward or backward. The choice is up to you. Marriage is a crucible in which we discover who we really are at the core of our being. It is the place where we learn what our true character is like. Marriage exposes those dark places of our hearts that reveal, bottomline, that we want our own way. God gives us our spouse to polish us, to remove the dross, and to make His purpose in our lives shine through. On the other side of the coin, marriage is also the place where we discover depths of love and sacrifice that we never knew we were capable of. When a man and a woman join hearts and minds in marriage, they can do anything. They become a force for good in an evil world. Well, I promised to tell you the secret of a fulfilling marriage. So here it is. The secret is so simple that you could easily miss it.

October 21, 2024 Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Bible Teacher, Novelist, and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, October 21, 2024, and this is episode #19 in Series 2024. This episode is titled, “Why Jesus Is the Only Way to Heaven.”Recently, Pope Francis told the world that there is more than one way to Heaven. Well, with all due respect, the pope is wrong.The Holy Scriptures make very clear that there is only one way to Heaven, and that one and only way is through Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself said as much.Let's look at the Gospel of John, chapter 14, verse 6: Jesus was talking with his disciples and was explaining that He would be leaving them soon to prepare a place for them and that He would one day return to take them with Him. He added that they knew the way to the place where He was going. Thomas, one of the twelve Apostles, questioned Jesus: "Lord, we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered Thomas' question with these words: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." To say that there are many ways to Heaven is to believe a lie. And believing that lie is sending countless numbers of people to Hell. So, I want to set the record straight in this blog post and podcast by explaining why Jesus is the only way to Heaven and why believing in Him is the only way to be saved.In order for Jesus to be able to save us, He had to be two things:1) He had to be God.2) He had to be a man.Jesus Christ was both.But why did the Savior of humanity have to be both God and man?1) The Savior of humanity had to be God because only God could satisfy the wrath of God. Sin is an offense against a perfect, infinite God and demands the payment of a perfect, infinite price. Only someone who was perfect and infinite was qualified to pay that price. Jesus alone was qualified. No other human being fit the bill because no other human being was perfect. Not Buddha. Not Mohammed. Not Hare Krishna. Not anyone but Jesus. 2) The Savior of humanity also had to be man. He had to be human because He had to represent the human race He was saving. In order to represent them, He had to be one of them in order to stand in their place. No other so-called god gave his life to save his followers. Only Jesus Christ did.So, let's put our heads together and do a little reasoning together, shall we? In other words, let's have a rational discussion about why believing in Jesus is the only way for anyone to be saved.In an outstanding article titled "3 Reasons Why Jesus is the Only Way," Dr. Tim Stratton says this: "There are three fundamental Laws of Logic that are always required in rational discussion." We will use these laws of logic in our discussion. These laws are:1) The Law of Identity2) The Law of the Excluded Middle3) The Law of Non-Contradiction.The Law of Identity states that a thing is what it is. In other words, a thing has specific qualities that make it what it is. For example, a square is a square because it has four equal sides. If it had three equal sides, it would not be a square. It would be a triangle.The Law of the Excluded Middle, attributed to the Greek philosopher Aristotle, explains that a a statement that asserts or denies something is either true or its negation is true, thereby eliminating a third option. In other words, either a statement is true or its negation is true. There is no third option, no middle ground. For example, I can say that water is wet or water is not wet. Water is wet is a statement that asserts, and water is not wet is a statement that denies or negates. It has to be one or the other. There is no middle ground because water cannot be half wet and half dry.Applied to Jesus, we could say that He either rose from the dead or He didn't. There is no middle ground. He could not have half risen from the dead and half not risen from the dead.

Hey Mama,  With the reality of marriage being that you and your spouse are two sinners navigating a fallen world, conflict is bound to happen.  Nothing consumes my mental space more than when my husband and I have had an argument. I become consumed with either wanting to fix it right then right there, or I do everything I can to absolutely avoid it. Neither of which is conducive to resolving the issue at hand.  Do you want the magic sauce for resolving conflict in your marriage? Tune in to part 3 of 3 of my interview with guest Nanci Adamson, Bible Teacher, Christian Mentor, Women's Ministry leader as we discuss how to resolve conflict in a way that maintains connection with our husbands so that we can enjoy our marriage and glorify God while doing it.   Connect with Nanci Admason: nanci@faithlivedout.com www.faithlivedout.com For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Suggested Resources for Top 10 Things NOT to do as a Bible Teacher: John Dyer's Best Commentaries BOW's webpage on Studying and Teaching the Bible TranscriptKay >> Hi. I'm Kay Daigle of Beyond Ordinary Women Ministries. Welcome to this podcast and video episode. Today I'm talking with Nika Spaulding. Welcome, Nika. We're glad you're here. Nika >> Oh, thanks, Kay. I'm glad to be here. Kay >> Nika is the Resident Theologian at St Jude Oak Cliff in the Dallas area, and she has joined us on a lot of episodes, actually. And we're so happy to have her on this one. She and I talked about it, I don't know, a month or two ago, just the topic and are finally getting together to discuss it. And we're excited about it, thinking it'll be a fun episode for all of you, particularly you Bible teachers, because, what we're going to talk about are the top 10 things NOT to do as a Bible teacher. I think that probably one or both of us have done most of these. There may be a couple that, I think I added one that I know for sure, I've seen somebody do and it wasn't good at all. So I think I did add one that I had not done but maybe Nika has done it. So it might be that we've done all of these at one time or the other. So anyway, we're going to start like any good top 10 with #10. So Nika, #10 – “Fail to compare interpretations from more than one source.” Do you want to start talking about it or do you want me to? Nika >> No, I can go and should we admit every time we've done it or should we just let people guess? Kay >> I think I've already admitted. Nika >> OK, fair enough. Kay >> Yeah. Nika >> This one I think I'm fairly certain I'm guilty of. And especially when you're first teaching the Bible, you can get overwhelmed with all the sources, right? You go, OK, I'm going to study John 1. And then you realize, oh my goodness, they're hundreds of commentaries on just John 1. And so if you're not careful, especially if you belong to a certain theological tradition or a church tradition, you can tend to only look at those types of interpretation. And you don't look at what have we said throughout church history? What do people from different traditions say about it? And so it's an easy mistake to make. But I know that when I started reading beyond my tradition, the passages became more rich and I began to understand them more deeply. And I think I became even more confident as I taught and looked at it. What about you, Kay? Kay >> I totally agree.

I welcome my new friend Lina Abujamra who invites us on a compelling journey through the ups and downs of faith, the role of suffering, and the unfathomable depths of God's grace. One of my favorite quotes from her book exemplifies this. She says, “mercy is never deserved, but always desired, and the key to unlocking it is simply to receive it.” Amen! She also adds, “God loves us not because we believe it, but despite the fact that we don't.” Amen again!! As I reflect on our conversation, here's the main takeaway: Lina reminded me of the unfathomable-but-so-true depth of grace amidst the chaos of life. Her Christ-centered transformation, her candidness in sharing her struggles, and the indescribable nature of God's grace left me with a very real hope in the grace I have received in Christ alone. May we embrace grace in all its messy, beautiful, and transformative glory, knowing that God's love extends far beyond our moments of weakness and failure. Allow me to tell you a little more. And remember - Lina goes a hundred miles an hour, and our conversation reflects every bit of her 100% passion for Christ! So, as soon as we get started, she dives headfirst into the turbulent waters of suffering, highlighting her experience of God's grace amid hardship. From Lina's childhood in war-torn Lebanon to her struggles with church hurt and not one, but two broken engagements, she reminds us that grace isn't just a feel-good notion; it's a lifeline we cling to in the stormiest of seas. Through Lina's story, we see the transformative power of grace as God teaches her to turn her pain and disappointment into a purposeful journey of healing and growth. Lina transparently shares her experience of church hurt and the rollercoaster of emotions and doubt it triggered. Her raw honesty about the struggle of leaving her church and the subsequent crisis of faith will speak straight to the hearts of many who have found themselves on a similar rocky road. Lina's openness about embracing weakness and the need for humility in allowing God to become our strength is a reality check in the best way possible, resonating with anyone wrestling with their own spiritual journey amidst the messiness of life. Lina's insights from her book, "Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This," shed light on the relentless struggle to understand and receive grace. Her own dance with legalism and the expectation of earning God's favor will strike a chord with those of us who have felt the inescapable weight of our very real imperfections. Through Lina's journey of grappling with the depth of God's unconditional love, I feel challenged to ponder anew my understanding of grace, and to embrace the sheer magnificence of experiencing God's love in my many failures and corresponding messiness. We do also talk about her latest Bible Study, “A table in the wilderness,” which I devoured. Stories of God's tables of blessing are woven throughout Scripture. In addition to an introduction about why God chooses to feed us in order to teach us about His goodness, A Table in the Wilderness offers in-depth Bible study on five tables that God offers as physical and spiritual reminders of His love, mercy, and overflowing kindness: -       Salvation (Passover)—when you need to be rescued -       Unexpected belonging (King David's table)—when you deserve to be punished -       Overflowing satisfaction (the wedding at Cana)—when you feel empty -       Remembrance (the Lord's Supper)—when you're likely to forget -       Eternal celebration (the marriage supper of the Lamb)—when life is hard This substantive, applicable, and richly spiritual study includes a QR code for quick access to streaming videos, spiritual exercises for contemplation and prayer, a self-reflection tool, and a leader's guide for small group study. Even in the most unexpected places—our weaknesses, our sins, our doubts—God loves to invite us into His presence. You are invited! Come to the table. To end, here is another favorite quote from her book: “the kind of meal most of us long for isn't about the food; it is about the people.” How very Gospel Spice!
