The story we tell ourselves

Salvationist Podcast Special Episode: Gen Z and Jesus

A special episode from our friends over at the Salvationist Podcast!  About 50% of teens and 20-somethings now identify as "nones," meaning they have no religious affiliation. So, why have so many left the church? And for those who haven’t, why have they stayed? In this candid and thought-provoking conversation with Major April and Rebekah McNeilly, we get into the data and the personal lived experiences of Gen Zs.

CFOT changes and God's Faithfulness in every season with Major Deana Zelinsky

So pleased to welcome Major Deana Zelinsky onto the podcast. She shares with us about the changes CFOT has undergone in the last few years, the challenges of officership, and God's call and faithfulness in it all. I really enjoyed speaking with Deana, and I was encouraged by what she shared!

Childlessness and unanswered prayers with Helen Reimer

Thankful for Helen and her ministry around childlessness and infertility. This is such a painful journey that impacts women all over the world. Talking about it honestly and vulnerably is a small antidote, and I'm so thankful Helen agreed to share her story and point to God's goodness even in the suffering. This episode is worth listening to for anyone struggling through unanswered prayers, whatever they might be.

The Making of Biblical Womanhood with Laura Part II

Part 2 is here! We received such wonderful feedback on the first part of this discussion. Discussing the implications of how we read women in scripture is important, no matter where you find yourself theologically on this topic. If you enjoyed this book club format and there's a book you would love to know more about from a conversational perspective, let us know! We love hearing from you and sharing content that resonates.  Thanks again, Laura, for having this conversation with me!

The Making of Biblical Womanhood with Laura Van Schaick Part I

I am very excited about this PART ONE of a two part episode with my friend Laura! In a 'book club' style, we discuss Beth Allison Barr's book 'The Making of Biblical Womanhood.' This was such an interesting conversation that continues to impact my thinking today. We split up our conversation into two parts, the second half will come out in two weeks!  If you are a Christian women in ministry, a married or single woman, this is a really important conversation to have. We discuss the historical context out of which female subordination as as gospel truth emerges, some of the 'wrong ideas' that have seeped into our theology, and some hopeful encouragement around God's high view of women. Hope you enjoy!
