In her message at TGC's 2022 Women's Conference, Blair Linne teaches on the importance of understanding the role of God as our Heavenly Father, especially in the context of healing from fatherlessness or difficult relationships with earthly fathers.Linne highlights these key points:The Blessing of Adoption: God's love and choice to adopt us is not based on our merit but on his grace and love. This adoption into the family of God allows us to have a rich relationship with God as our Heavenly Father.The Role of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is essential, especially in dealing with strained relationships with earthly fathers. Linne encourages her audience to pray for their parents if they should find themselves spiritually lost or emotionally broken, and to forgive with the understanding that forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean re-establishing unhealthy relationships.Writing Your Story and Praying for Parents: Linne suggests the therapeutic exercise of writing your story, including any emotions and thoughts related to your earthly father. She recommends the practice of writing letters to your earthly father or to God and advises praying for your parents, especially if they are still alive.Prioritizing Your Redeemed Family (The Church): Linne emphasizes the importance of prioritizing your church family, as they are part of your redeemed family and are essential in the healing journey. She encourages seeking support and guidance within the church community.Our relationship with God as our Heavenly Father can heal and restore the wounds caused by the absence or difficulties with earthly fathers. Knowing who we are in Christ and God's adoption of us demonstrates his deep love and commitment.Read more on this topic from Blair Linne in her book, Finding My Father: How the Gospel Heals the Pain of Fatherlessness.

The Prosperity Gospel: How It Can Mislead and Harm

The most dangerous thing about the prosperity gospel is that it preaches a contradictory message to the true gospel of Jesus. When Jesus said we would have troubles in this world, the prosperity message says you should only experience blessing. When Jesus said you must take up your cross and follow him daily, prosperity theology teaches that if you "sow seeds of faith", you won't experience hardship. Whatever the distortion, the prosperity gospel ultimately takes our eyes off Jesus and his true Word that says this life is about God's glory, not our own. So what do we do when someone we love is tempted to believe or is actively clinging to the prosperity gospel instead of Jesus himself?In this episode of Glo, Blair Linne, Aixa de López, Sharon Dickens, and Soojin Park discuss the dangers of prosperity theology and why our only hope is the true gospel of Jesus.

A lot of the advice we hear about how to use social media—don't be mean, don't humblebrag, share Bible verses—is good. But it also doesn't feel like enough. Social media is a huge beast, and we need more than “set a timer” (as helpful as that can be) to help us navigate the world of social media in a gospel-centered way.Pulling in part from TGC's book, Social Sanity in an Insta World, panelists Amy Gannett, Blair Linne, and Laura Wifler explore ways of using social media to the glory of God. They cover a wide range of ideas, from the big picture (figure out why you're logging on) to the daily details (to re-ground yourself after scrolling, try concentrating on your five senses), all while offering encouragement to those who might be burned out by social media.

Fatherlessness is a significant issue facing American children today. On this episode of All Things I explore the topic from a sociological and spiritual perspective with author and spoken word poet Blair Linne. We talk about her recent book Finding My Father: How the Gospel Heals the Pain of Fatherlessness. Blair shares her own story and journey to both her earthly father and heavenly Father, while at the same time highlighting America's fatherlessness crisis. She tells us about the value and importance of dads and what children suffer without the presence of a godly father in their lives. Blair leaves us with plenty of gospel hope, though, as she points us over and over to the all-satisfying presence of our Father in heaven.

  From miscarriage to mentorship: Kristie shares how losing her first child in miscarriage led her and her husband to the foot of the cross. Kristie's work in church ministry, alongside her husband, Thabiti, has equipped her with life experience and biblical knowledge that has her passionate about the Bible and passionate about mentoring. She is particularly encouraged when women mentor other women in a way that leads them to a deeper relationship with God and a better understanding of His word. This passion has also led her to publish a devotional on Psalm 119 written solely by women of colour. Listen here as Kristie shares her journey.   EPISODE NOTES: Kristie Anyabwile remembers saying evening prayers every night by her bedside with her grandma. Her grandma was her first Christian influence, but it was only years later, as a newly-married woman suffering the trauma of a recent miscarriage, that Kristie came to truly understand who Jesus was. From the time she and her husband were first rocked by the gospel message they heard on television until this day, Kristie continues to live in the light of that same gospel. Three kids and a few moves later, Kristie's ministry in the Lord revolves around her family; Anacostia River Church in southeast Washington where she disciples and teaches women in her church, and joyfully supports her husband of 28 years, Thabiti, as he pastors the church; and the work of the Charles Simeon Trust – an organisation that seeks to equip lay folk with Bible reading and teaching skills.  Close to her heart is the practice of women mentoring other women. In this interview, Kristie speaks about what that can look like. Kristie also shares about the recently released devotional she was privileged to see through from conception to reality.  “His Testimonies, My Heritage: Women of Color on the Word of God is a collection of devotions by a diverse group of women of colour—African-Americans, Hispanic, Caribbean, and Asian women. Contributors include Kristie Anyabwile, Jackie Hill-Perry, Trillia Newbell, Elicia Horton, Christina Edmondson, Blair Linne, and more. It is a faithful exposition of Psalm 119 and incorporates each contributor's cultural expression both within the teaching and as they bring the word of God to bear on their lives. Readers will be thrilled and encouraged by hearing God speak through his word as it is expounded by these faithful women teachers, and they will long for more.”* ENDORSEMENTS: His Testimonies, My Heritage: Women of Color on the Word of God “A rich collection of wise, talented voices. My soul has been refreshed by this timely reminder of God's kind and gracious provision for his people through his word. It's been a while since I've read a book that so emphasized the sufficiency and relevancy of Scripture for today's problems. – KATE MOTAUNG, Author, A Place to Land: A Story of Longing and Belonging; Co-Author, Influence “His Testimonies My Heritage is an edifying book. What the essayists in this collection have in common are two things: they are all women of color, and they all write out of deep and moving experience of joyfully coming under the authority of holy Scripture.” – D.A. CARSON, President, The Gospel Coalition “This book is like entering a type of class reunion, where the various shades of skin are beautifully enveloped in the exact same grace blanket. I feel comfortable and in very good company. Our Father doesn't ignore our context or race-linked struggles when speaking to us about his testimonies, and he soothes us through each other. I invite you to join my sisters and be encouraged and uplifted by looking at his eternal truth through these eyes.” – AIXA DE LOPEZ, Author; Speaker; Board Member, Christian Alliance for Orphans LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Revenge of Conscience, by J. Budziszewski Anacostia River Church in Washington DC Charles Simeon Trust  His Testimonies, My Heritage: Women of Color on the Word of God, edited by Kristie Anyabwile SHOW SNIPPETS: "I guess part of it is just hoping that we would open our eyes a little bit more in our local context and see who God has placed right in front of us, and that we would take the steps and the initiative to learn from one another." "I didn't notice that there is so much that I learn from older women in my life by them just talking to me and telling me about their life." "She was the kind of person who, just in normal conversation, was pouring out wisdom that she did not even recognise." "All of us, in the body of Christ, can only (but) benefit when we learn from someone outside of our own culture."   Can't see clickable links?
