Like me, Amy went a long time stuck in a bad theological mi

Ep 1 in the Christain Beliefs 101 Series
That is the first and one of the most fundamental Christian Beliefs that we need to tackle in this series because the Bible is the foundation for literally everything that comes after.
We were taught it was untrustworthy.

64. Did Jesus Get the Best Mic Drop?? How Isaiah 61 Transcends Time and Speaks Across Millenia Straight to You. // Wisdom Wednesday.
Short and Sweet- Wisdom Wednesday
I love the Bible. One of the absolute coolest things about the Bible is that, like God, time seems to all get blended together. The Prophets of the old testament often had no real concept of what it truly was they were prophesying about from a time standpoint. The first coming, the second coming, or all that is in between often gets folded on top of each other, ye

61. The Hard, (but Good) Truth About Love// Wisdom Wednesday.
Does God want us to have vengeance or love?
You see, we are not 'nones'- we are disciples of Christ. This means we do not operate from our sinful, very human, want to destroy people for believing 'chickens are our spirit animal' (or whatever the cause is) place in our human makeup.
We have been transformed, which means we operate from a place of love. Let's look at today's passage again- Col 3:12-
60. Ditch the Guilt and Enjoy the Margarita. 4 Steps to a Mindset Shift that Busts Guilt and Brings Grace.
Guilt. It's a heavy topic and heavy on our shoulders. You used to live by all the rules that man created.
You left all that, but why do you still get this immense pang of guilt when you order non-fat soy late with extra whip or pick up the bottle of wine with the cows with cute parachutes on the label at the supermarket?
Why the guilt? Will it always feel like this?
Today's question:
How do we ch
59. What Does it Mean to Fear the Lord and Find His Wisdom? //Wisdom Wednesday
Share this with a friend!
Let's be friends at the Facebook group- Christian Women After Religion
From Today's Episode: Proverbs just pours out wisdom, speaking of wisdom far more than any other book in the Bible. And that brings us to the question for today- What does the final line mean when it tells us, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction?" W

Help! Can Someone Give Me Directions? What is MY Purpose in Life?
As we already discussed, you can not truly give anyone faith. Faith comes from trust, from surrender, from a relationship with our Creator. But what we can do, should do, were commanded to do is the great commission...
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..." Mathew 28:19
The last thing Jesus told His followers to do is

Seasoned with Salt? What are the Words YOU Speak Reflecting?
When we are called to be the salt of the earth, we are being asked to know how essential we are in seasoning this world with His essential, good flavor. What we say and how we say it must always be seasoned with the flavor and salt of grace and peace.

Today's Challenge will take you from religion to relationship...
...today's challenge, if you chose to accept it, try reading the bible as we discussed.
Spend as little as 5 minutes reading His word. Pick a spot. It does not have to be in order. In between clients at the salon, I'll often pop open my pocket bible to psalms and read just one. Then take a few minutes to talk to God about it. What qu

Finding Faith.
I remember so many times growing up being around gals who had faith. It was just something in the way they were so at peace. I, on the other hand, was a constant questioner. Faith was not my strong point.
But it is so beautiful how God never gives up on us. Faith is something that comes when we learn to trust in Him.Today, we are talking a

Just because we become Christian does not mean our walk is a straightforward path. Our Guest today started with no God in her life, new-age, Scientology. In fact, she likens herself to Paul. He was against Christians and then had a radical transformation to become one.
