A Podcast by Michelle Lesley and Amy Spreeman

It’s that time again. We’re starting off a new year that’s full of possibilities and potential decisions. Some of our younger listeners might be wondering what kind of career to pursue, where to go to college, or who to marry. As we get older, there are still lots of questions to answer: When and where should I retire? What’s the best way to care for my aging parents? And so on.
Have you ever asked the question, “What is God’s will...

These days there are a lot of snares and tares within the modern church that can easily take our eyes off of what is true about Jesus, His Word, and our Joy in following Him. It’s so important that we, as Christian women, exercise discernment so that we aren’t deceived by false teachers or false doctrine. In this rerun episode, we'll take a look at four deceptive pop false doctrines that evangelical women are being wooed by right ...
We all have those petty little annoyances that make us crazy. In Part 1, Amy and Michelle talked about about some of our pet peeves related to the holidays, and today, we're reading and discussing holiday pet peeves from our listeners. This episode isn’t a gripe session, but a glory session. We want to talk about what’s wrong and how to make it right, biblically, so we can glorify God even when we’re feeling peevish.

We all have those petty little annoyances that make us crazy. So today, we’re talking about some of our pet peeves related to the holidays: things Christians, churches, ministries - or even family and friends - do that get on our last nerve. This episode isn’t a gripe session, but a glory session. We want to talk about what’s wrong and how to make it right, biblically, so we can glorify God even when we’re feeling peevish.
Merry Christmas! We have an early Christmas present for you! Glad You Asked - our Q&A episodes - will now air every month LIVE on YouTube! We hope you'll join us there! But don't worry, you can always watch later on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform as usual.

Do you have a theology that includes thanksgiving all year long? Even in the worst circumstances or the direst of situations?
God wants His people to be thankful to Him, not just because He deserves our thanks, but because it is good for us to be thankful. It helps us fix our eyes on all He has done for us - from the greatest gift of all, giving His precious Son to save us from our sins.
Michelle and Amy wish you a Thanksgiving fil...
Welcome to part 2 of Beautiful Biblical Boundaries! In part 1, we went over the biblical principles of boundaries in relationships and gave some general principles for why Christians might establish some boundaries in our relationships and how to do that, biblically. And today, in part 2, we’re going to “put some meat on the bones” by answering some of your specific questions about boundaries in your own relationships.

Today, we’re tackling a topic that several listeners have asked us to address: biblical boundaries in our relationships. Do “turning the other cheek” and forgiving others “seventy times seven” mean that Christians must subject ourselves to any and all undesirable behavior from family, friends, co-workers, and others? Let’s see what the Bible says about boundaries.

It's another episode of The Pew! Not The View, The Pew! All of the joy, none of the Behar. It’s our view from the church pew on some important issues in evangelicalism. There’s a lot happening out there in the visible church, and we’ve got some interesting stories coming your way today! That’s why we do The Pew, so we can grab some of those headlines we’re seeing - oftentimes UNbiblical headlines - and talk about them biblically.
In this episode, we’re covering a rather odd topic that maybe you’ve never heard about before: so-called “Christian” witches. What in the world is this, and is there any stretch of the mind - and of Scripture - by which this might be biblical? Well - spoiler alert, everyone - no, it most definitely is not. But we do see some similarities between "Christian" witchery and the NAR.
Welcome to another Potluck episode of A Word Fitly Spoken! On our Potluck episodes, we cover biblical mini-topics that aren’t really long enough for their own, individual episodes, and don’t fit into any of our other features. Today, we're covering...
- Cooking and living within your means
- Emotional reactions to tragedy
- The "counting method" of child discipline
- Progressivism and liberalism
- Does a sinful past disqualify women fro...
What role does the Bible play in your life, and in mine? Today, we want to zero in on our overall relationship to Scripture. Scripture is our authority in life. We don't live our lives by our feelings, opinions, or pragmatism. Everything we think, believe, feel, say, and do is to align with Scripture, submit to Scripture, and come under the authority of Scripture.

Welcome to another Talk Back episode of A Word Fitly Spoken! Talk Back is a recurring feature here at AWFS in which we listen to a sermon, podcast, or other audio from a well known pastor or teacher, and break in with our commentary as we compare his or her teaching with the Word of God. The subject of today’s Talk Back is Heidi St. John and her position on the role of women in ministry.

John MacArthur. Charlie Kirk. Voddie Baucham... and so many more. We may not have known them personally, but we feel that a light to the world has been extinguished, and the world is a little bit darker now that we’ve lost them. How do we deal with the grief and mourning we feel even after the loss of people we only knew from afar?

When you have problems in your life that you just can’t seem to navigate, where do you turn? God wants us to turn to His Word, to our pastors, and to godly older “Titus 2” brothers and sisters for wisdom and counsel.
Biblical counseling is an extension of that godly wisdom, counsel, and discipleship in the church, but sometimes Christians turn to secular therapists - or even “Christian counselors” who use those same secular methods...
