A Word Fitly Spoken

With the holiday season now upon us, we thought we'd share one of our most downloaded episodes. How should a Christian relate to someone in their lives who is obviously living in sexual sin, without appearing to condone this marriage? Thankfully, God does not leave us without answers. As with every other issue in life, our thinking, our words, and our actions must be shaped by and in submission to the authority of Scripture. Not pu...

Welcome to another “What Would You Do?” episode! Recently, we asked you listeners to send in scenarios for the show, and you sent in some great ones! What would you do if you were at an ecumenical event and unbiblical things started happening? What would you do if your puppy's barking made your neighbor mad? We'll tell what we would do, but what would YOU do? Listen in and play along!

Every once in a while Amy and Michelle share a much-needed discernment conversation we think would edify you in your walk with Christ. Amy recently sat down with our good friend Dave Jenkins on his podcast called Contending for the Word to talk about 5 reasons why your church should not be bringing in worship music from what we call the top 3: Bethel Church, Hillsong, and Elevation. We hope you enjoy it!

It's just a few weeks away! No matter where you live, these upcoming winter months remind us that preparing for whatever comes our way in the freezing months ahead is a good thing.  Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in preparedness that it can become an idol. We have a God whose plans, whose providence, whose will is not going to be thwarted. Enjoy this throwback episode from a winter past...

In this episode we are covering a very important discernment discussion on a popular couple who is deceiving so many people around the world. Their names are John and Lisa Bevere, and my co-host Michelle Lesley recently sat down with our good friend Dave Jenkins on his podcast called Contending for the Word to talk about why you shouldn’t be following these false teachers. Dave has graciously allowed us to bring this episode to our...

If thought we were going to be talking about the Doctrines of Grace, we’re sorry to disappoint you, but that’s not the kind of election and choosing we’re going to be discussing today. With the 2024 Presidential election just days away, we’re going to talk about the freedom we have in America to choose our President and other governmental leaders. We’ll talk about voting, the election, the candidates, and a Christian response no ma...

Welcome to the final episode of our 3 part series on Dying, Death, and Funerals. Death is a subject most people usually try to avoid, but, as Christians, we want to be sure we’re thinking biblically about it, and that we keep our focus on our hope in Christ. Today, our final episode is a Glad You Asked episode answering your questions about dying, death, and funerals.

Welcome to part 2 of our 3 part series on Dying, Death, and Funerals. Death can be a scary, painful thing, but it’s our desire that this series will remind you of the hope we have in Christ. Today, we’re going to talk about how to handle some of the practicalities of death and funerals, plus some thoughts on ministering to the bereaved. And, of course, as Christians, the Bible will also inform how we handle those practical details.

Today, we’re embarking on a 3 episode series talking about a subject a lot of people don’t like to talk about: death. It’s sad, it can be scary and physically painful, and it’s permanent, but it’s important for Christians to have a biblical perspective on death. In part 1, we’re going to look at what the Bible says about death, what we should believe about death, and how to biblically navigate some issues surrounding death that the...

It's been a half decade since we aired our very first podcast episode, and today, more than 200 episodes later, we're reflecting on what we've learned and which episodes have meant the most to us. We’ve narrowed those favorite episodes down to five apiece, and we’re going to share a little bit about each one and why they’re our favorites. You can listen to all of our episodes by clicking on the Recent Episodes tab and then clicking...

We are excited to start a whole new season of our podcast!  After taking a few months off over the summer to rest and refocus, Michelle and Amy share what they’ve been up to since we last gathered. As for what's ahead, we're rolling up our sleeves to create new episodes featuring Bible-based views of this world, topics that affect our lives, and ways that we can reflect Christ and grow in holiness and discernment.

Amy and Michelle wrap up this season of a Word Fitly Spoken by sharing some personal thoughts we hope will edify you in your walk with Jesus. We've both been navigating some seasons in our life that we thought we'd share, and how we've been going to God's Word to share what Scripture has to say about the joys and the trials of walking worthy.

Note: We are once again taking a break from podcasting for this summer to rest in the Lord...

Here's part 2 of our discussion with Pastor Gabe Hughes on our Glad You Asked episode on The Chosen. (Did you miss Part 1 of our interview? LISTEN HERE.)

In 2021, we ran a three episode series reviewing seasons 1 and 2 of The Chosen, and we thought it was time for a little update. We’ve answered lots of questions about The Chosen on our show in the last few years, and so has Pastor Gabe, on Q&A episodes of his podcast, When We ...

The topic of today’s Glad You Asked episode is The Chosen. In 2021, we ran a three episode series reviewing seasons 1 and 2 of The Chosen, and we thought it was time for a little update.

So we thought he would be the perfect guest to help us answer all y...

What is holiness, and what can the Bible teach us about how to walk out holiness in our day to day lives? In this episode, we'll be taking a look at several “sisters from Scripture” who have set a good example of various aspects of holiness for us. We want to be sure that we’re learning from their example, and setting a good example of holiness for one another today.
