To continue this week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast's deep dive into Apologetics, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden tease out the basics of how to approach daily conversations so parents can guide girls as they are going in daily life. Both hosts describe 'speechless' moments they each had when they didn't know how to respond to tough questions regarding their faith convictions.     Rachael talks about 'sprinkling apologetics' into normal situations like car rides and daily real life so it doesn't feel like a memorized chorus for girls, rather an infused way of living. Through questions like, "Does that line up with what we know is true?" or "What do you think God is showing us here?" Rachael shares that a girl's faith moves from fragile to fortified one conversation at a time. In an honest moment, Rachael also shares that she doesn't always know 'all the answers' as a mom, so she encourages parents to be willing to learn alongside their girls.     The featured Raising Godly Girls Minute in this episode drops a difficult Bible question that comes up a lot for girls: "God in the Old Testament seems very different from God in the New Testament—are there different God's in the Bible?" With generation alpha's focus on social media algorithm-fueled scroll feeds and YouTube influencer-fed notions (often apart from Scripture), many parents are feeling overwhelmed and hopeless about the current state of the next generation's worldview status.     The hosts remind listeners that real-life apologetics has to happen…in real life! So the old notion of memorized answers and echo-chamber video feeds miss the mark. With three key anchor points, Rachael guides listeners through ways to approach this well. Story Swaps, Debate Club, and Faith Detective all offer creative approaches that easily translate into daily conversation for families. Melissa enthusiastically challenges listeners to 'just start'—at the dining room table, in daily life activities, and often at unexpected times!    Rachael shares her love for the AHG Stars & Stripes Award process, specifically how the Spiritual Walk Essay gives award recipients a chance to unpack their journey in places that God strengthened their faith through adversity.     Three Things to Consider:    Faith is built in the small moments.  Questions are a gift, not a threat.  Equip, don't overwhelm.    Scriptures Shared in this Episode:    Matthew 5:17    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.      Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.

HR leaders are feeling the squeeze.  With limited resources and growing pressure to improve engagement, performance, and retention, many are tasked with building manager support systems from scratch, often without the time or tools to do it effectively.

The post Equipping Hour: Philosophy of Ministry Part 8: Preach the Gospel (1 Corinthians 9:16) appeared first on Grace Bible Church.

We continued exploring what the Christian life truly looks like, pressing deeper into how it is lived and sustained in Christ.The Christian life is warfare. As soldiers, believers live with a different posture, running to win and giving themselves fully to God's cause under His authority.Life in Christ flows by faith in the Son of God, empowered by the Spirit. The same power that regenerates also sanctifies, freeing us from sin and forming true freedom through grace.

In our second "Industry Episode" we're learning about a company almost every service member has at least noticed on their installation: BeaverFit.And if you've been confused about the odd company name, don't worry, we get that history right away. Tom Beaver, founder of BeaverFit UK, built his first outdoor training rig in 2006 while preparing for the grueling Enduroman Arch to Arc, an 87-mile run from London to the English Channel, a swim across the Channel and a 180-mile bike ride to Paris.A few years later, the Special Air Service teams from Hereford — just a stone's throw away from the Beaver family farm in Shropshire — spent a day with Tom training on his unique outdoor rig and immediately asked him to build them one.Our guest for this discussion is Jason Clark, BeaverFit's Director of Education and Training. Jason is a Marine Corps combat veteran and former drill instructor. He later went on to work in the fitness industry and then as a strength and conditioning director for the Marine Corps HITT program. He also served on the advisory board for human performance at HQ Marine Corps. Since this is one of our “industry episodes” our conversation will be more focused on BeaverFit than Jason himself, but the Any Given Day podcast just published an episode that's much more personal, so if you want to learn more about the guy, check it out!

The Book of James deals a deck of wisdom, guiding us to live with faith, love, and discernment through actionable teachings, inspired by Proverbs and the Sermon on the Mount. Like a dealer laying out cards, James introduces God's wisdom as a gift, always there during trials, when we need guidance, and when tempted to be selfish or petty. Join Horizon for James: LIVE AND LOVE WISELY, a verse-by-verse study.

The post Equipping Hour: When Trouble Comes, Where Should You Look? appeared first on Grace Bible Church.

We continued the This Christian Life series with a clear picture of what faith looks like for the believer. Good is defined by what God says, and faith shows not only in what is gained but in what one is willing to lose for Him. A man of faith remains unshaken, with convictions and confessions that do not change with circumstances.The Christian life is a race to be run lawfully, with eyes fixed on Jesus and obedience to God's terms. In running this race, we fight—a good and worthy fight—fought from a place of victory in Christ.Listen to this sermon and be blessed.

Are paid pastors actually more spiritually mature than the men in the pews? Why do so many leaders burn out while everyday laymen quietly endure? What if the men who don't get paid for ministry are often the ones doing it best? In this Equipping Men in 10 episode, Jim Ramos looks back to his late 20s and early 30s in ministry and exposes a pattern he couldn't ignore. This episode isn't about tearing down pastors—it's about learning from the faith, grit, and longevity of everyday men who quietly walk with God year after year. You'll get a freash perspective on why longevity matters more than position in the Kingdom of God and the danger of vocational ministry replacing genuine devotion.

Equipping Hour | Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel | Othneil to Gideon by OrlandoGrace

Message from Scott Bielinski on January 11, 2026

The Book of James deals a deck of wisdom, guiding us to live with faith, love, and discernment through actionable teachings, inspired by Proverbs and the Sermon on the Mount. Like a dealer laying out cards, James introduces God's wisdom as a gift, always there during trials, when we need guidance, and when tempted to be selfish or petty. Join Horizon for James: LIVE AND LOVE WISELY, a verse-by-verse study.
