    My Picks of the Best Podcasts for Christian Apologetics

    July 3, 2020 /

    My picks for the best podcasts of Christian Apologists is a hearty list. I like several different styles of podcasts with speakers who have different specialties. If you’ve never studied apologetics or don’t know what it is, you might want to skip over to my previous post for some important reasons all Christians should study apologetics. But several readers have asked me for some suggestions, so I want to share my favorites. If you’re looking for just a quick list, scroll through the headings quickly. But I also took the time to share their websites, other resources, books, and why I like and appreciate each one to help you find…

    5 Important Reasons Christians Should Study Apologetics

    July 2, 2020 /

    All Christians should study apologetics. Christians should study apologetics may sound like a bold claim if you’ve barely even heard of apologetics, but I promise you apologetics has been the most important thing I’ve done for my faith besides reading my Bible regularly. What is Apologetics? Apologetics is a rational, organized defense of the Christian faith. It is the why behind the what we believe. Apologetics has many different aspects. Some people study the timelines of events in the Bible. Astrophysicists study the universe and God’s hand in creation. Some apologists are philosophers who consider the rational reasoning behind having faith. Some are archaeologists who examine artifacts and geographical evidence…

    Christian Encouragement for New Moms

    May 16, 2020 /

    I’d love to share some encouragement for new moms that I’ve learned along the way because we all feel a little alone as moms sometimes. Motherhood can be overwhelming and isolating. But we don’t have to feel like we’re the only ones in our situation. We’re not all in the same boat, but we’re all in the same storm. I’ve heard that said many times about the current virus situation, but it’s so true about parenting. And I want you to know you’re not alone. My biggest encouragement for new moms is that no one is totally prepared for parenting. You’re not doing it wrong (at least not any more…

    Should I Read the Bible? What Christians Should Know

    May 16, 2020 /

    Wondering Should I read the Bible? Maybe you’ve never picked one up. Maybe you’ve only skimmed it and never really read it with purpose. Either way, the answer to Should I read the Bible is yes. If you’re a Christian or wondering about Christianity, nothing will change your faith and life more than reading the Bible. Reading the Bible daily is the most important habit any believer can have. It’s so important to read God’s word, deeply and thoroughly, that I say all Christians should be saturated in the Bible. Becoming deeply saturated in the word changed my relationship with God forever. I spent too many years full of misunderstanding and carrying legalistic…
