With a deeply ingrained medical upbringing, Julia had to unravel layers of programming to reclaim birth on her terms.She tells the raw and beautiful stories of birthing her babies on raw land in the Montana winter, catching her first baby unexpectedly with bath towels and a shoelace, and welcoming her second in a fast, intuitive birth in the same off-grid trailer.

Can Christians pray to saints who have died—or speak to loved ones who have gone before us? This edition of Ask the Church explores why the Anglican Articles of Religion reject the medieval doctrine of the Invocation of Saints and what Scripture teaches about prayer and intercession. It also addresses an important question many Christians wrestle with: can those who have died in Christ actually hear us now? Rooted in Scripture and tradition, we discuss how Anglicans honor the saints' example while keeping Christ as our only mediator.

What do Anglicans believe about Mary, the mother of Jesus? This edition of Ask the Church explores the Anglican view by asking three key questions: What must we believe? What may we believe? And what do we set aside as inconsistent with Scripture and tradition?

Why pray words that aren't your own? From the Psalms to the Lord's Prayer, the Bible is filled with examples of God's people using pre-written prayers in worship. Far from stifling authenticity, these prayers connect us to the wisdom, breadth, and unity of the Church through the ages—helping us pray in ways we might never think of on our own. In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore the biblical roots of pre-written prayers and how they can enrich both personal and corporate prayer today.

Jesus said, “when you fast,” not “if.” From the Sermon on the Mount to Acts 13, Scripture describes fasting as a normal part of Christian life—joined always to prayer, directed always toward God. This episode unpacks the biblical foundations of fasting, its purpose in seeking God's presence and expressing repentance, and how to begin the practice faithfully and sustainably.

Rev. Steven Breedlove // Psalm 49; Colossians 3:1-17; Luke 12:13-21

  «¡Que dejen los impíos su camino, y los malvados sus malos pensamientos! ¡Que se vuelvan al Señor, nuestro Dios, y él tendrá misericordia de ellos...» (Isaías 55:7) No podrás obtener la victoria mientras el problema sea lo más importante en tu vida. Hace algunos años, el Señor me reveló esa realidad. En esa época enfrentaba algunas dificultades en mi ministerio, las cuales me parecían tan grandes que pensaba en ellas desde la mañana hasta la noche. Aunque los estaba resistiendo, pensaba más en esos problemas que en las promesas de las Escrituras sobre las cuales me estaba apoyando. Entonces descubrí algo en Mateo 6:24-25: «…no podéis servir a Dios y a Mammón. Por tanto os digo: No os congojéis por vuestra vida…» (RVA). He leído esa escritura cientos de veces, pero ese día vi algo que no había visto antes. A continuación de las palabras de Jesús “no podéis servir a Dios y a Mammón”, Él dijo: “No os congojéis por vuestra vida”. De repente, vi la conexión. ¡Nosotros le servimos a nuestras preocupaciones! Por eso Isaías 55 nos dice que dejemos nuestros pensamientos, y por la Palabra tomemos los pensamientos de Dios. En 2 Corintios 10:5 nos instruye a que derribemos argumentos y toda altivez que se levanta contra el conocimiento de Dios, y llevemos cautivo todo pensamiento a la obediencia a Cristo. ¿Quieres hoy librarte de tus problemas? ¡Entonces deja de servirles! No permitas que consuman tu vida. No esperes hasta que las circunstancias cambien para hacerlo. En su lugar, comprende que las circunstancias no cambiarán jamás hasta que cambies los pensamientos equivocados por los pensamientos correctos. Sé que no es fácil de hacer, especialmente en medio de las pruebas y las densas tinieblas. Pero podrás hacerlo si practicas estas tres cosas: Primero: Recuerda que no estás solo. Tienes la Palabra (los pensamientos de Dios). Tienes el Espíritu Santo que te fortalece y posees la mente de Cristo. Segundo: Acércate a personas que están llenas de fe. En vez de repetir otra vez tu problema, deja que ellos hablen. Disponte a escuchar. Únete a la fe de ellos y resiste las tinieblas. Tercero: Alaba a Dios. Haz lo que sea necesario para alabar. ¡Al empezar a alabarle, la presencia de Dios rechazará esos pensamientos de preocupación y los derribará! Tus problemas no son lo más importante en tu vida. Lo más importante es Jesús. Sírvele con tus pensamientos ¡y Él te hará libre!

In this episode of Ask the Church, we unpack one of the most debated lines in the Nicene Creed: “who proceeds from the Father and the Son.” Why did the Western Church add “and the Son”? Why do Eastern Christians omit it? And what does it tell us about the dynamic life of the Trinity?In the next five minutes, we'll discuss: - The biblical basis for the Spirit's procession (John 15:26)- How the concepts of “eternal source,” “eternal begetting,” and “eternal procession” help us understand the three Persons of the Trinity- The history and impact of the Filioque controversy and the Great Schism- Anglican flexibility in confessing or omitting the “and the Son” (Filioque) clause

Sin confianza en sí mismo, Moisés vuelve a objetar: “¿Cómo me oirá Faraón?” Aquí podemos ver de nuevo no solo la humildad de Moisés, sino también su reiterado deseo de librarse de la tarea, que hasta ahora no había sido exitosa. “Cuando Dios ordenó a Moisés que se presentara de nuevo ante el faraón, Moisés manifestó desconfianza en sí mismo. El término aral sefataim (lit. ‘incircunciso de labios' [RVA]), que se usa aquí para expresar la torpeza oratoria de Moisés (6:12, 30), es similar al que aparece en Éxo. 4:10, ‘tardo en el habla' ” (Comentario bíblico Andrews [Florida: ACES, 2024], t. 1, p. 242). En su misericordia, Dios hace que Aarón ayude a Moisés. Este hablará a Aarón, quien a su vez hablará públicamente al faraón. Así, Moisés desempeñará el papel de Dios ante el rey egipcio, y Aarón será su profeta. Este relato proporciona una excelente definición del papel de un profeta como vocero de Dios. Es decir, como su representante para transmitir e interpretar la palabra dirigida por Dios al pueblo. Así como Moisés habló con Aarón y este con el faraón, Dios se comunica con un profeta, quien luego proclama la enseñanza de Dios al pueblo, ya sea verbalmente y en persona o, como era más frecuente, mediante el registro escrito del mensaje recibido. Dios también explica a Moisés lo que puede esperar de los encuentros con el faraón. Le advierte que el enfrentamiento será intenso y prolongado, y le recalca por segunda vez que el faraón será muy terco y que endurecerá su corazón (Éxo. 4:21; 7:3). Sin embargo, el resultado será positivo, ya que “sabrán los egipcios que yo soy el Señor” (Éxo. 7:5, NVI). Es decir, Dios será glorificado incluso en medio del caos que sobrevendrá. Moisés ya no tuvo excusas para negarse a hacer lo que Dios le encomendó. ¿Qué excusas podríamos presentar nosotros para intentar librarnos de lo que sabemos que Dios quiere que hagamos? 

In this episode of Ask the Church, we explore the meaning, history, and practice of the sign of the cross. Is it biblical? Is it required? And why do so many Christians—especially Anglicans—use this gesture in worship?In under five minutes, you'll learn:- How the sign of the cross helps unite our heart, mind, and body in worship- When it's commonly used during worship- How it functions as a “physical prayer” rather than a rote ritual- Why it's not required—but can be spiritually enrichingWhether you're new to liturgical worship or just curious to learn more about Anglican practice, this video offers clarity and encouragement.
