What do you do when the people of God fail and you find yourself questioning God because of it? How do you deconstruct your misunderstandings about God, His people and life without deconstructing your faith altogether? For author, Bible teacher, and medical doctor Lina AbuJamra healing from the hurt she experienced from her church led her on an unexpected journey in her faith. What started as a deep disappointment in people led her to feeling let down by God. It took a lot of time and realizations that what she had come to believe about God and how He worked wasn't based on His truth and that perhaps deconstructing the falsehoods and misunderstandings about God, wasn't a bad thing. However, as things were being taken apart in her understanding of who God was, she also needed to reconstruct what was true so that her faith would strengthen rather than fade away. It wasn't a quick process, but a holy one and one that she wrote about in her book, Fractured Faith: Finding Your Way Back to God in an Age of Deconstruction. In this helpful conversation, Aubrey and Lina talk about why deconstruction is often rooted in our disappointments, ways in which we can heal from Church hurt, and how sometimes our doubts, questions and hurt can lead us into a deeper faith. If you or someone you know has walked through being hurt by the Church and has found themselves unraveling, this episode will encourage you that perhaps through your hurt, God is wanting to rebuild in you a stronger, more resilient faith and life in Him.   Website: https://www.livingwithpower.org/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/linaabujamra Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/livingwithpower/ Book: Unshakeable Moxie: Growing a Resilient Faith https://a.co/d/34veaB2 Fractured Faith: Finding Your Way Back to God in an Age of Deconstruction https://a.co/d/8B3xmyM Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This: A Christian Doctor's Thoughts on Sex, Shame, and Other Troublesome Issues https://a.co/d/32hNHjX You asked for it.

Without denying the real pain we carry, Lina shows Christians how to rediscover joy…how God’s presence is promised in every valley, trial and tribulation. Lina Abujamra is a Pediatric ER doctor & the founder of Living with Power Ministries. Her latest book is Still Standing - Following Jesus Even When it Hurts. She joins Perry & Shawna for an honest conversation about our desire to control all of life, how following Jesus doesn’t look like what we thought it would, wrestling with knowing God can change everything in a moment during our long suffering, and how our feelings can betray us. If you’re struggling to walk faithfully with God through your struggle this conversation will remind you that God is with you and that it’s possible to experience joy on the road marked with suffering. Also, in 2016 Shawna hit a low point. She remembers having to pull off the road, weeping as she listened to Danny Gokey’s “Tell Your Heart To Beat Again.” When it feels like life is over – it could be just beginning. Last, the greeter at church said to Perry one Sunday morning, “Why so glum??” That was a pick me up. Not! But then he experienced the transformative power of God’s presence. It’s all about the gift of gathering together, in person, to worship.Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you ever look at other families and assume that they have it all together and yours doesn't? Do you look at other pristine and put-together moms or dads and think that you are a hot mess? Do you look at the successes of your friends while focusing on all of your failures? There is a profound and often overlooked aspect of our family life that can sabotage us as parents—the desire to be “normal.” That family is perfect. Mine is hanging on by a thread. That mom is beautiful. I'm embarrassed to leave the house. That friend is a rock star. I'm a fake. Through a series of poignant, relatable stories, Catherine explores how this quest for normalcy infiltrates our lives, undermining our parenting and our individual purpose. Our deeply personal struggles and wounds—from infertility and abandonment to financial instability and physical imperfections—heighten the longing to be like "everyone else." But those lives that appear perfect are far from it. Everyone battles their own unique challenges that keep them from this mythical place called “Normal.” The pervasive desire for normalcy is a dangerous and sabotaging force. Being normal is a fiction, a fairy tale, a farce manufactured by the enemy of our souls. And on some level, we all struggle with it. We desperately need a shift in perspective. Our unique struggles and disabilities are precisely what draw us closer to God, if we will let them. The lie of “Normal” is one of the devil's greatest hits, but in our deepest needs and struggles, God's grace abounds and leads us to true fulfillment and strength. This episode supplies a much-needed pep talk to break free from the quest for normal and embrace God's grace in every need.

How has the prosperity gospel influenced purity culture, and what does that mean for parenting today? The connections might surprise you. Purity Culture, much like the prosperity gospel, promises rewards for adhering to specific behaviors, but it often leads to disappointment and shame. And all too often in the church, parents apply this same type of thinking to their children. Parents assume that they will be rewarded with God-honoring, God-fearing children if they teach their children all the right things and parent the Biblical way. Like with the Prosperity Gospel and Purity Culture, the emphasis is on the outcome, not your child's relationship with God. In this thought-provoking episode of "Christian Parent/Crazy World," Catherine engages Dr. Lina Abujamra in a candid discussion about the harmful effects of Purity Culture in Christian communities. They highlight how Purity Culture parallels the Prosperity Gospel by creating unrealistic expectations and measuring spiritual worth through outcomes rather than genuine faith and grace. Episode Highlights: Purity Culture and Prosperity Gospel: Lina Abujamra draws parallels between purity culture and the prosperity gospel, noting how both promise material or relational rewards for specific behaviors. While purity culture emphasizes sexual abstinence with the promise of perfect marriages and fulfilling sex lives, the prosperity gospel promises material wealth and success for faithful followers. Misplaced Expectations: Both movements often set up unrealistic expectations, leading to disillusionment and shame when life doesn't unfold as promised. This results in individuals feeling unworthy or questioning their faith when they don't receive the anticipated rewards. Misogynistic Undertones: Lina and Catherine criticize the misogynistic tendencies within purity culture, where women often bear a disproportionate burden of maintaining purity. Object lessons like the chewed gum or wilted flower are used to shame women, implying that they lose their worth through sexual activity. Biblical Misinterpretations: Both purity culture and the prosperity gospel teachings divert from Biblical truths, focusing more on human efforts and rewards than on God's grace and the transformative power through a relationship with Christ. Impact on Young Believers: Catherine and Lina discuss the generational fallout from purity culture, noting how younger Christians are increasingly rejecting outdated, shaming shaming messages. This shift highlights the need for a more grace-filled, genuine approach to faith that centers on a deep, personal relationship with God.   Key Takeaways: - Parents should teach their children that faith isn't about earning rewards through good behavior, but about nurturing a genuine, loving relationship with Christ.   - Rejecting the false promises of purity culture and prosperity gospel can prevent the deep disappointment and shame that arise from unmet expectations. - A grace-filled approach to faith that acknowledges personal struggles and imperfection can lead to more authentic spiritual growth and fulfillment. - Both purity culture and prosperity gospel distort the Gospel's core message by equating spiritual worth with specific outcomes, rather than the inherent value found in a relationship with Jesus.   Guest bio: Dr. Lina Abujamra is a distinguished pediatric emergency room doctor, author, speaker, and the founder of Living With Power Ministries. Known for her dynamic and heartfelt approach, she offers practical biblical insights to help people navigate life's challenges with faith and resilience. Her most recent book, Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This: A Christian Doctor's Thoughts on Sex, Shame, and Other Troublesome Issues, offers a candid look into her sexual struggles and the grace that brought her freedom.

The Christian life is faithfully walking—and uncovering joy—on a road paved with suffering. We live in a fallen and broken world full of disappointments and the loss of dreams. And there is a cost to following Christ—often painfully felt in close relationships. On Wednesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author and founder of Living with Power Ministries, Lina AbuJamra shares how God's refining process makes Him bigger in our hearts and transforms us into people who are like Him. Our pain can lead to despair and bitterness, or it can make us more like Jesus. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nate Williams talks with Dr. Lina Abujamra about her new book "Still Standing: Following Jesus Even When It Hurts."

Sexual sin remains one of the most prolific yet overlooked issues within the Christian community. Despite the prevalence of church teachings on purity and righteousness, hidden struggles with sexual sin abound. Despite Jesus' promise of freedom in Scripture, pornography, illicit romantic novels and television shows, and sexual indiscretions continue to keep many believers in bondage. Statistics reveal a startling reality: 50% of American Christians ages 18 to 30 actively seek out porn annually. 68% of churchgoing men regularly view pornography. 20% of practicing Christians ages 18 to 30 actively seek out porn weekly. 15% of Christian women say that they watch porn at least monthly. Only 13% of Christian women say that they never watch porn. 20 % of youth pastors currently struggles w/ porn use. 68% of churchgoing men regularly view porn. 50% of pastors regularly view porn. 76% of Christians age 18 to 24 actively and regularly spend time searching porn sites. The average age kids see porn is 11. 95% of kids see porn by 14 . These hidden battles often lead to feelings of shame, isolation, and a performance-based relationship with God, making it harder to experience His grace, true intimacy, and freedom In this episode of "Christian Parent/Crazy World," Catherine is joined by Dr. Lina Abujamra, a pediatric ER doctor and founder of Living With Power Ministries, who delves into her own experiences and insights on breaking free from hidden sexual sin. Lina  sheds light on how purity culture's unrealistic expectations can lead to a dangerous form of idolatry, causing individuals to ignore deeper issues and seek fulfillment through temporary distractions. Key Highlights: Purity Culture's Impact: Lina unpacks how purity culture sets unrealistic expectations about marriage and intimacy, fostering a performance-based relationship with God. The Danger of Idolatry: Learn why idolizing a perfect life leads many to overlook deeper issues and lean on temporary distractions like TV, movies, and frivolous novels. Dealing with Hidden Sins: Lina emphasizes the necessity of addressing hidden sins openly and highlights the ease of falling into habits like consuming erotic content. Women like Lina have particularly struggled with pornographic novels and desire to be set free. The Importance of Safe Conversations: Lina shares her personal experiences, including the emotional hurt she faced within the church, and underscores the need for transparent discussions in our homes and communities. Sexual Sin in the Church: Catherine and Lina explore the alarming statistics on porn addiction among Christians, including pastors, and the urgent need for transparency. Guest Bio: Dr. Lina Abujamra is a distinguished pediatric emergency room doctor, author, speaker, and the founder of Living With Power Ministries. Known for her dynamic and heartfelt approach, she offers practical biblical insights to help people navigate life's challenges with faith and resilience.

Where is it that you most experience connection? Whether it's grabbing tea with a friend, sharing a meal with family, or even gathering together for a game night, there's something so inviting and connecting about a table.

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! So, let's unpack together what Lina means by that.

Likely you're a good person living a decent life, making a living and working hard. You go to church on Sundays and pray before your meals. But you have a secret, a hidden part of your life that you'd be ashamed for anyone to find out about. The thing with secrets is that they eventually come out. Instead of hiding, let's have a difficult conversation, a real talk about secrets and shame and sex and a lot of things in between. Difficult conversations don't have to be difficult, but they do have to be honest. In today's episode and in her book, Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This, Lina shares her own struggle with sexual temptation with openness and vulnerability. She points out where the church and purity culture have failed our communities. Lina gets real about the excuses we make and the lies we tell ourselves even when our behaviors point to a larger problem. This is a no-holds-barred discussion on why Christians still struggle with sexual sin and what the church needs to be doing to support Christians and the community at large. Most importantly, you'll see that despite our constant failures as humans, Jesus doesn't ask us to be perfect. He just asks us to be His. If you're going to have a difficult conversation, you might as well have it with a doctor. Connect with Lina: Livingwithpower.org

Today's conversation is with Dr. Lina Abujamra, physician, podcaster, speaker, and writer, as she shares insights from her newest study, “A Table in the Wilderness.” Drawing from her rich background and experiences, Lina delves into the transformative power of grace, identity, and community in the journey from darkness to light. Hailing from Lebanon, Lina's journey of faith has been marked by a deep understanding of the sanctifying grace that accompanies salvation. Through her study, “A Table in the Wilderness,” Lina invites listeners to embrace a paradigm shift from performance-driven Christianity to resting in their true identity in Christ. In her exploration of Scripture and personal anecdotes, Lina emphasizes the profound revelation that God is most evident in our moments of brokenness and vulnerability. By embracing authenticity and sharing our stories, we unlock the door to true freedom and spiritual growth. Anchored in Philippians 1:6, Lina reminds us that our confidence is not derived from ourselves but from the unwavering faithfulness of God. Through the metaphor of tables and food, she highlights the significance of community and fellowship in our spiritual nourishment and growth. Listeners are encouraged to step back and examine their motives, recognizing that true connection with God and others stems from a heart surrendered to His presence. Join us as we journey with Dr. Lina Abujamra through the wilderness of life, discovering the abundant grace and transformative power of dwelling at the table of the Lord.

For too long, many Christians have heard and believed the misconception that living in God's freedom and redemption means they'll never struggle with sin or temptation. This is one of the things the Bible is pretty clear on. The heroes of the faith like Paul, David, Moses, and Abraham loved and new God and still lived imperfectly. Maybe it's time for us to recognize that being saved doesn't mean we'll never sin again, but that it means we're on a journey of loving Jesus, pursuing Him, falling short and returning to Him. This week's podcast guest, Lina Abujamra, knows this well. She joins Juli to talk about what it looks like to spend a lifetime struggling with lust and sexual temptation, and still choose Jesus.     Guest: Lina Abujamra     Book: Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This by Lina Abujamra Website: livingwithpower.org/   Q&A: What Is the Difference Between Sexual Integrity and Purity?

Today we're joined by pediatric ER doctor and founder of Living with Power Ministries Dr. Lina AbuJamra to discuss her book, "Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This: A Christian Doctor's Thoughts on Sex, Shame, and Other Troublesome Issues." We start off with Lina's story of growing up in Lebanon, going to medical school, and her faith journey. She shares how her upbringing shaped her perspective on dating and how a relationship she had placed hope in didn't work out, leading her to feel betrayed by God. We discuss how she fell into the prosperity gospel of sex and marriage and how God redeemed this. Then, did purity culture fail the church? And what does it mean to walk in sexual purity and holiness, whether you're single, married, or engaged? We talk about the shame and stigma or purity and virginity even within the evangelical world and explain why it's more important than ever in our hypersexualized culture to understand that Jesus is worth facing these issues straight on. --- Timecodes: (02:13) Growing up in Lebanon & moving to the U.S. (15:23) Deconstruction / prosperity gospel (18:59) Purity culture (26:15) 'Old Testament God' & laws (29:25) 'Worse' sexual sins (38:00) Inerrancy of scripture (41:41) Christian leaders' sexual failures / Gen X leaders (56:20) Same sex-attraction (01:03:00) Response to sexual sin --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — get 10% OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.

It's Freedom Friday on Karl and Crew Mornings! Today we wrapped up our weekly theme, "The Three Challenges," and we discussed the challenge of admitting when we are wrong. The scripture reference was Matthew 21:28-32. This parable about the man and his two sons teaches us that sometimes we can form opinions about the Gospel that are wrong, but we can always humble ourselves and make a choice to change our minds according to the truth we find in the Scriptures. Our guest was Dr. Lina Abujamra. She is the founder of Living With Power Ministries. Her new book, Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This, deals with sexual shame and temptation in the church. Lina also shares about her own personal stuggle with sexual temptation. Hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lina Abujamra, pediatric ER doctor and host of Moody Radio show “Today's Christian Single,” joins Brian to talk about her new book (which releases tomorrow!): "Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This: A Christian Doctor's Thoughts on Sex, Shame, and Other Troublesome Issues."

She also hosts a radio show and is the author of several books, most recently Fractured Faith and her new Bible Study Through the Desert: A Study on God's Faithfulness. “This book is not a book about porn," Lina says. "It's not a book about sexual purity and the rewards God gives to his sexually faithful followers. This is not a book about singles and sex, nor is it a book about married sex. God knows I don't know a thing about that. "This is a book about the struggle with our desires, and why so many committed followers of Jesus are still failing in our sexual lives and how to change. In other words, this is a book about sex for every Christian who longs to be free from sexual struggle.” Follow The Common Good on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Hosted by Aubrey Sampson and Brian From Produced by Laura Finch and Keith ConradSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
