Podcast appearances and mentions of christian perspective

Scripture teaches that death is not the end of existence but the separation of the soul from the body. This is illustrated in various ways in the Bible: as sleep, the taking down of a tent, or a ship setting sail for home.

Many Christian counselors and well-meaning voices tell victims of narcissistic abuse to stay silent. But is that really biblical—or even healthy? In this video, I explain why remaining silent during narcissistic abuse can actually strengthen the trauma bond, weaken your confidence, and make it harder to protect yourself and your children. I also address three common Christian objections to speaking up and explain why I believe those arguments misapply Scripture. If you're married to a narcissistic spouse, dealing with emotional abuse, or trying to understand biblical boundaries in a toxic marriage, this video will help you find your voice and take the next step toward healing. In This Video: ✔ Why staying silent doesn't protect you from a narcissist ✔ How silence strengthens the trauma bond ✔ Why finding your voice is essential for healing ✔ What the Bible really says about submission and abuse ✔ Three common myths Christians believe about narcissistic abuse ✔ How speaking up prepares you to leave an abusive marriage safely ✔ Why your children need to hear the truth

At its heart, death is rest, a good night's sleep; it is the breaking down of a temporary tent in exchange for an eternal home built by God. We can have this assurance because our Lord conquered both sin and death, as Paul explains so clearly in 1 Corinthians 15. But because Christ has defeated death, Christians are freed from the slavery of their fear and can face death with full confidence that God will raise those who know Christ on the last day.

Today in Current Events from a Christian Perspective:Faith in AI?What should our faith be in the latest wave of artificial intelligence?On the one hand it is becoming more ubiquitous all over every industry. But is that good.

We wrestle with the moral cost of war through a modern Odyssey lens, especially what it means to see the divine image in people you might be ordered to kill. We ask whether “necessary” violence can ever be clean, and why the ones who protect everyone else often carry scars the rest of us never have to bear. • Athena's beheading as a symbol of desecration and conscience • war as ugly even when defense feels necessary • Zeus's law of hospitality set against survival and self-defense • the fog of war and our limited moral vision • Plato's Euthyphro as a test for confident moral claims • the “dark knight” role and taking blame for the public good • Oppenheimer parallels and the burden of consequential choices • film critique on flattened characters while still recommending it Please, if you're enjoying this content, give this video a like, hit that subscribe button, and most importantly, if you can, ring that bell. You can go see the full thing over on our Patreon right now.

This week, Jordan, Jay, and Nic join in for a conversation about spiritual warfare, repentance, and what it means to put on the full armor of God every day.After reflecting on the battles the Lord has carried us through, I realized that endurance is not passive. Sometimes we become so weary in our faithfulness that we stop fighting. Other times, we become so confident about the battles we've already survived that we stop guarding ourselves. Both can leave us spiritually vulnerable.We unpack 2 Samuel 11 and the moment David remained in Jerusalem when kings were expected to go to war. What began with being somewhere he was not supposed to be led to lust, sexual sin, deception, murder, and months of unrepentance. David's story reminds us why we must remain engaged in the fight, confess quickly, and never assume that past victories make us immune to temptation.If you're experiencing spiritual warfare, faithful fatigue, inconsistency, shame over sin, or weariness from fighting one battle after another, I pray this conversation encourages you. Seriousness does not mean joylessness, and devotion does not mean perfection. When you don't feel strong enough to fight, be honest with the Lord and ask Him to help you want what He wants.Keep fighting. Look to Jesus, hold tightly to His promises, and remember that you do not have to fight in your own strength.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you, like Tara, have been curious about homeschool as a Christian parent, but feel intimidated by starting, unqualified to equip your children, overwhelmed by making a decision, or unsure about next steps, this episode is a must-listen. Tara loved reading Jennifer's latest book, The Inspired Homeschool, so much that she had to have her on the show. Jennifer is a mother of 7, sister in Christ, and homeschool "professional" who has sage wisdom for us from Scripture and her own experience. Today, we're chatting about why so many people (Christian families especially) are flocking to homeschool, how to raise children in the gospel, how to figure out if this is the right fit for you, curriculum ideas and so much more! Let's this conversation take the overwhelm out of the equation for you so you can pray and discern what's right for you and your family. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Truth Talks with Tara on YouTube here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this episode of If Not For God with Mike Zwick, Mike continues his conversation with Daniel Merrill of Cross X Change, exploring the origins and teachings of Islam from a Christian apologetics perspective. The discussion examines topics including the meaning of Islam, Muhammad's life, the Quran, jihad, taqiyya, the historical concepts of Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb, and how these ideas compare with biblical Christianity. Mike and Daniel also discuss persecution of Christians in predominantly Muslim countries, the martyrdom of the 21 Coptic Christians in Libya, and stories of Muslims coming to faith in Jesus Christ through dreams, visions, and the witness of faithful believers. Throughout the conversation, they contrast the Christian call to proclaim the gospel through love and persuasion with their understanding of Islamic doctrine, while encouraging Christians to be prepared to share the hope found in Jesus Christ.

The movie many are hating on for the wrong reasons!  This is not the movie they think it is.Cloud of Witnesses, Jeremy Jeremiah, James St Simon, Michael, and Mario Andrew, break down the most unforgettable moments from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and why the homecoming story hits harder when the music, visuals, and symbols keep pointing back to love and loss. We wrestle with the film's biggest moral turn: the fear of an outside enemy flips into the recognition that we might be the problem.• the siren song motif returning at the reunion with Penelope• Odysseus holding on to the pin as a symbol of home• the dog recognizing Odysseus and what that reveals• the claustrophobia and horror of the Trojan horse• Nolan's visual storytelling through light, color, and disorientation• “the people from the sea” as a mirror for self-deception• Nolan's modern guilt theme contrasted with Homer's cosmic order• mythic heroes with clear morality versus modern conflicted heroesQuestions about Orthodoxy?

In my previous episode, I explored whether the Eastern Church Fathers actually reject the theory of evolution. In this follow-up, I answer a different question entirely: Do I reject evolution—and if so, why?Rather than appealing to the age of the earth or death before the Fall, this discussion examines the philosophical foundations of evolution through the lens of realism, a metaphysical framework embraced by the Eastern Church Fathers. Along the way, I respond to common objections, clarify my views on Young Earth Creationism, and explain why these conversations matter for Orthodox theology.======================================Timestamps00:00 Introduction00:00:53 Two Questions About Evolution00:01:58 Why I Reject Evolution00:02:40 Realism vs. Nominalism00:05:01 Essential vs. Accidental Properties00:06:31 The Problem with Evolutionary Change00:12:20 Why Nominalism Undermines Science00:16:14 The Church Fathers and Realism00:19:11 "According to Their Kind"00:20:55 Responding to Common Objections00:22:18 Old Earth vs. Young Earth00:27:06 The Consensus of the Fathers00:31:48 What Kind of Consensus Matters?00:36:01 Theology vs. Science00:42:15 The Orthodox Mind and Philosophy00:45:14 What the Fathers Actually Handed Down00:47:20 Can You Be Orthodox and Young Earth?00:49:08 Responding to More Objections00:57:12 Is Young Earth Creationism Possible?01:00:03 The Real Danger======================================Do you like this content?

Hey Guys! After a little break last week, I'm back with the team for a conversation about building endurance in the Christian faith through daily obedience, patience, and spiritual growth.Sanctification is a process, and so is building endurance. Using a lesson I learned from “ego lifting” in Pilates, we talk about why God may be more interested in our faithful reps than the amount of weight we're trying to carry. So many of us want the big moment, the visible calling, or the impressive testimony, but God often develops our character through the quiet monents each day.We talk about walking in step with the Holy Spirit without trying to rush ahead, remaining faithful when our growth feels invisible, and trusting that God is establishing roots beneath the surface.Through the lives of Abraham, Moses, and David, we're reminded that their public moments of faith were preceded by years of private preparation and obedience.If you're a new believer, discouraged by your pace, comparing your calling to someone else's, or wondering whether you're truly growing, I pray this episode encourages you. Baby steps are still steps. You don't have to reach the finish line first; you just have to keep going, looking to Jesus as the founder and perfecter of your faith.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pastor Doug Pratt discusses the recent uproar in the world of sports, and how it is reflective of deeper problems afflicting our society. How can Christians balance empathy with maintaining high standards?

Michal Russo was a pastor's daughter and an athletic college swimmer when she discovered yoga. Squeaky clean and hardworking, she wasn't the rebellious type, but yoga, she says, opened the door to dark and oppressive forces in her life. Today, Michal is the marketing director for TCT Network and the author of How Yoga Harms: A Love Letter for Understanding Yoga From a Christian Perspective. She explains key teachings and practices of yoga, which are deeply rooted in the worship of false gods and divination. Michal also highlights a startling but convicting truth: when you open up your mind to something in spirit and in truth, you're worshiping it, whether you want to admit it or not! Don't worship the false gods of yoga, look to Christ as your Savior. TAKEAWAYS Foreign cultures see Americans' version of yoga as a pilfering of their sacred religious beliefs You cannot compartmentalize yoga as a Christian, and Yoga eventually seeks to control your entire identity It's perfectly fine to stretch and exercise - just don't participate in the idol worship that goes along with yoga Yoga attempts to manipulate the energy source of life, a practice that falls into the category of divination

For the past century, the prevailing viewpoint among mainline Protestant scholars and church leaders (labeled ‘theological liberalism') was based on a number of assumptions and presuppositions. Many of these have, in recent years, been proven to be flawed and inaccurate. Pastor emeritus Doug Pratt exposes these errors and invites us to embrace the truth of the reliability of the Bible.

Jenn delves into the importance of brotherly love in the Christian community.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Pastor Emeritus Doug Pratt addresses some of the tragic mistakes made, in history and in our own times, when people become passionately committed to an ideology they think is virtuous and righteous, but is fundamentally flawed. The Bible gives us one vivid example of a person who turned from error to truth before it was too late.

In Totality Podcast is back this week with a powerful conversation with Laurie Krieg on sexuality, surrender, marriage, parenting, and the love of God.As parents, many of us feel anxious or unprepared when it comes to conversations around sexuality, puberty, pornography, identity, and culture. Laurie gives such practical wisdom on how to talk to our children with truth, grace, clarity, and love without panic or shame.Laurie shares her testimony of wrestling with same-sex attraction, sexual brokenness, shame, and the deeper longings beneath desire: the need to be seen, known, chosen, and loved. Together, we talk about how those longings are ultimately met in Jesus, and how God's love does not just expose what is broken, but empowers us to surrender, heal, and walk in freedom.This episode is for anyone who has struggled with shame, anyone who wants to better love people without compromising truth, and any parent, mentor, aunt, uncle, youth leader, or discipler aiming to guide the next generation with a gospel-centered view of sexuality.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today in Current Events from a Christian Perspective:While many outlets are still pushing Pride month shenanigans, there is much less than there was a few years ago. We still have some outlets that are egregiously pushing the sexual identity on children, which should be outlawed entirely, but we also have entire state governments pushing back and renaming pride month into much more wholesome ideas.All this and more today on CHURCHPUBLIC..---At Church Public we create compelling content to equip you to follow Jesus and engage in the public square including Current Events from a Christian Perspective.Thanks for watching!

Michal Russo was a pastor's daughter and an athletic college swimmer when she discovered yoga. Squeaky clean and hardworking, she wasn't the rebellious type, but yoga, she says, opened the door to dark and oppressive forces in her life. Today, Michal is the marketing director for TCT Network and the author of How Yoga Harms: A Love Letter for Understanding Yoga From a Christian Perspective. She explains key teachings and practices of yoga, which are deeply rooted in the worship of false gods and divination. Michal also highlights a startling but convicting truth: when you open up your mind to something in spirit and in truth, you're worshiping it, whether you want to admit it or not! Don't worship the false gods of yoga, look to Christ as your Savior. TAKEAWAYS Foreign cultures see Americans' version of yoga as a pilfering of their sacred religious beliefs You cannot compartmentalize yoga as a Christian, and Yoga eventually seeks to control your entire identity It's perfectly fine to stretch and exercise - just don't participate in the idol worship that goes along with yoga Yoga attempts to manipulate the energy source of life, a practice that falls into the category of divination

What's up family?I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be faithful with anything that God has placed in our hands, especially when we may not always feel confident, qualified, or sure of where we fit, in the space of ministry.Sometimes we may look at other people's gifts, platforms, ministries, or callings and wonder if what God is doing in us is enough. But the more I sit with it, the more I'm reminded that growth is not always measured by platforms, numbers, titles, or visibility. Sometimes the deepest growth is what God is doing quietly in our hearts.In this episode, I talk through wrestling with the insecurity of being a woman in ministry, keeping the focus on Christ, and learning to trust that our testimony is enough when it points people back to the Savior.For anyone who feels unsure of their place, insecure in their calling, or tempted to compare what God is doing in their life to someone else's, I pray this episode reminds you that where God has you matters. Your home matters. Your local church matters. Your dorm matters. Keep the main thing the main thing: Christ, His glory, and making Him name known wherever He sends you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today in Current Events from a Christian Perspective:Last weekend there was a massive, high profile prayer gathering on the National mall in Washington DC which was called "Rededicate 250 - A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving." This was organized as part of the celebration leading up to the nation's 250th anniversary. The event transformed a section of the National Mall into an expansive, evangelical-style worship service.The day-long, eight-hour event was organized around three primary "pillars":  1. God's Providence: Reflecting on the role of faith throughout America's 250-year history.  2. Personal Testimonies: Sharing stories of personal and communal healing.3. Rededication: Coming together in gratitude and asking for God's continued guidance for the next 250 years, specifically framing America as "One Nation Under God." All this and more today on CHURCHPUBLIC..---At Church Public we create compelling content to equip you to follow Jesus and engage in the public square including Current Events from a Christian Perspective.Thanks for watching!

What's up family? This week i'm back with a conversation on anxiety, surrender, and the peace of God.I've been going through Philippians 4 and what it means to bring everything to God in prayer: every request, every worry, every need, and every anxious thought. So often, we say we trust God, but our minds are still racing and our hearts are still carrying what He invited us to surrender. I talk through making our requests known to God with thanksgiving, the difference between reading scripture and truly meditating on it, and how His peace guards our hearts and minds in a way nothing else can.This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or tired from trying to figure everything out on their own. I pray this reminds you that God is not asking you to carry it alone. He is inviting you to come to Him, trust Him, and receive the peace that only He can give.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, I'm humbled and honored to bring you a conversation with someone whose ministry has made a huge impact in my walk recently— Pastor and Author Francis Chan. If you've been with me this season of In Totality, you know I've been taking my Patreon community through his latest book, Beloved, and this conversation is one that I've been praying for— and I cannot wait for you to hear it.Beloved has deeply shaped how I see my relationship with God. It confronted something I didn't even realize I was doing — trying to serve Him from a place of striving and performance, like I could somehow pay God back, instead of simply receiving His love as a daughter.Francis and I talk about what it means to know God as Father — not just as Judge or Lord or the One we serve — and how easy it is to miss the very thing we were made for: enjoying Him.We get into the difference between performing for God and truly abiding in Him, and why His love has to stay at the center of everything. You are going to want to listen to this more than once!My prayer for you is that this episode helps you slow down, receive, and remember — you are not just called to love Him. You are invited to remain in Him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, C.L. dives into the power of music and the impact it has on our hearts, minds, and souls. Sharing the 12 artists he's listened to the most over the past year, he reflects on how music shapes emotions, influences our thinking, and has played a powerful role throughout the Bible. If music is food for the soul, the question becomes: what are we feeding ourselves? Tune in for a quick, honest conversation and some encouragement to listen to Godly music.

Today in Current Events from a Christian Perspective:A prominent American politician who is also apparently Hindu has a conversation with a bystander about Jesus being ONE of the many ways to the one true God. Sadly, this is not what Christianity is. In fact, this is actually the CORE doctrine of Christianity. Jesus does not accept all roads. God has told us not that there are many ways to him, but that there is only ONE way, through Jesus Christ our Lord. All this and more today on CHURCHPUBLIC..---At Church Public we create compelling content to equip you to follow Jesus and engage in the public square including Current Events from a Christian Perspective.Thanks for watching!

So many of us are living with an identity shaped by the world, our feelings, our achievements, our past, our pain, our personality, or what other people have said about us. But scripture gives us a different foundation. Our identity is not something we discover inside ourselves; it is something declared by God.In this episode, I'm here with the team talking through what it means to be created in the image of God, reborn in Christ, and no longer defined by the old self, and I really enjoyed this conversation! We talk about why following your heart is not enough, why adding Christ onto parts of your life is different from being fully surrendered, and why true transformation is not renovation. it is resurrection.This conversation is for anyone who has been asking, “Do I really know who I am in Christ?"My prayer is that this episode reminds you that you are loved, adopted, justified, and called to live faithfully, not perfectly, but surrendered.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week I'm super excited for you guys to listen in on this episode! I'm joined by Trey Heflin, who you may be familiar with if you follow 2819 Church's worship team.This season has been anchored in John 15, where Jesus reminds us to remain in His love. In this episode, that invitation continues through a conversation about worship, surrender, obedience, and what it truly means to give God your whole life.This is Trey's first-ever podcast appearance and I'm so honored he's here with us! We talk about the pace and responsibilities of ministry and stewardship, and learning how to slow down enough to hear God in the stillness. He shares how worship became more than music for him, and how true worship is not just the songs we sing, but the life we live in response to God's nature.This episode is for anyone who yearns to hear from God or learn how to worship Him with more than words. I pray it reminds you that God is not just after a moment. He is after your heart, your life, and your yes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey guys! This week, i'm back with the team for an unconventional episode where I answer some questions from my Patreon Village!We discuss topics of marriage, trusting God in seasons of singleness, dating in Christ with wisdom and intention, and how to love others from a place of intimacy with the Lord. We also unpack healthy boundaries, how to rely on community when dating, the voice of the Holy Spirit, and so much more.If you've been asking God for wisdom in relationships, struggling to trust Him with your future, or struggling to discern what faithfulness looks like in this season, this conversation is for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this weeks episode, I'm reflecting on what it means to truly rest in the steadfast love of God.So many of us are walking through seasons that feel uncertain, painful, and stretching. Maybe you've been trying to stay faithful, but if you're honest, you're tired. Tired of waiting. Tired of praying. Tired of not understanding what God is doing. In this conversation, I wanted to slow down and anchor us in the truth that God's love is not shaky, conditional, or fleeting. It is steadfast and secure.This episode is for anyone who feels weary, confused, pruned, or stretched thin in this season.My prayer is that it reminds you that God has not forgotten you, He has not changed His mind about you, and He is still faithful in the middle of whatever you're carrying.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, I share about the recent unexpected loss of one of my longest and dearest friends, and the ways this particular grief has reshaped my perspective.I talk about the tension of suffering and faith, how trials expose why we truly follow Christ, and why grief for the believer is never without hope. I reflect on scriptures like 2 Corinthians 1, 1 Peter 1, Matthew 5, and 1 Thessalonians 4, and how they've anchored me through one of the hardest seasons I've walked through in a long time.This conversation is for anyone who may be mourning, carrying disappointment, or trying to understand how God's goodness still stands in the middle of pain. My prayer is that this episode reminds you that God is near to the brokenhearted, He wastes nothing, and even now, the Holy Spirit is present to comfort you.Bring your lament directly to the Father, and invite Him to meet you in the midst of your sorrow.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey fam, we are back this week with a conversation that I think so many parents need.A major part of my life is being a mom, and in this episode I wanted to slow down and talk about what it really means to raise children in a home where God is not just a topic we bring up when life goes wrong, but the theme of the home itself.So often, parenting can become focused on behavior, structure, and getting through the day. But as believers, we are called to more than just raising well-behaved kids. We are called to make disciples in our homes. In this episode, I talk about what it looks like to build a daily cadence of discipleship with your children through prayer, scripture, devotionals, honest conversations, and simply making the Lord part of everyday life.This episode is for the parent who feels the weight of responsibility, the mom who wants to lead her children well, the dad who wants to build a Christ-centered home, and anyone wondering how to take simple but faithful steps toward discipling the children God has entrusted to them.I pray this episode reminds you that you do not have to be a perfect parent to be a faithful one.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey guys! We are back this week with a conversation about something so many believers wrestle with: can you really follow Jesus without being deeply connected to His people?In this episode, we talk about why Christianity was never meant to be lived alone. In a culture that celebrates independence, self-protection, and doing faith on your own terms, it can be easy to believe that prayer, worship, and Bible reading are enough without real accountability, correction, or fellowship. But when we look at scripture, we see that God has always called His people to live in community.We unpack what it means to be part of the body of Christ, why isolation can quietly stunt spiritual growth, and how healthy biblical community helps shape us, strengthen us, and keep us rooted in truth. We also talk honestly about church hurt, disappointment, fear of vulnerability, and why past pain can make it difficult to trust people again, especially within the church.This episode is for anyone who has been trying to walk with God on their own. My prayer is that this conversation reminds you that while finding community can be tough, it's also one of God's gifts for our growth, healing, and endurance, and I pray this episode encourages you not to give up on what God has designed for your good.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
