A Podcast by Michelle Lesley and Amy Spreeman
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. We’ve answered lots of questions about The Chosen on our show in the last few years, and so has Pastor Gabe Hughes, on Q&A episodes of his podcast, When We Understand the Text. 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.

We see these pseudo-Christian events and movements all the time: Asbury, Bethel, the Enneagram, IF:Gathering, ReVoice… and on and on it goes. And many of the same Scriptures are trotted out and twisted mercilessly to defend them.
These Scriptures and principles could be applied to a number of things past and present, and they will surely be pulled out and dusted off the next time a so called “Christian” event, idea, or fad pops up,...
On this episode of A Word Fitly Spoken, Amy and Michelle are covering a topic that’s a little sensitive - pornography - and even though we’re not going to be graphic in any way, this episode might be one you’d rather listen to without the kids around.
Pornography is such a plague on society in general, and, unfortunately, even Christian men and women have been tempted into using it. What can you do if your...
It’s time for another great episode of hearing from our listeners and answering your insightful questions in part 2 of this two part Glad You Asked addressing questions of discernment.
It’s time for another great episode of hearing from our listeners and answering your insightful questions in this two part Glad You Asked addressing questions of discernment. In Part 1, we kick things off by looking at some of the Scriptures that deal with discernment, then it's on to your questions!
Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, if you prefer, is upon us. It's all about the resurrection of Christ from the dead. But, as you know, there’s no resurrection without a crucifixion. Jesus had to lay down His life before He could take it up again. And that's what we're talking about in this episode as we approach Easter - Jesus’ suffering, or “passion” as it’s sometimes called, and His death, burial, and resurrection.

Welcome to part 3 of our 3-part series on growing older. We asked you to send us your comments and feedback on parts 1 and 2, and you graciously took the time to share your thoughts with us so we could share your wisdom and insight with all of our listeners tonight in part 3. We certainly don’t have all the answers, so we appreciate your chiming in and offering your wisdom.

Welcome to part 2 of our 3-part series on growing older. There’s all kinds of advice out there for how to be a godly wife and how to raise your children. But rarely do you hear anything about how becoming a widow changes your life and your identity, or how much it will change your life when your children grow up and leave home, or what it's like to grow older as a single woman. Aging really is a huge adjustment to a new season of l...
Tonight begins a three part series on a topic that, unfortunately, isn’t talked about very much in the church: aging. What it’s like to grow older as a godly woman. In this Part 1 episode, we’re going to take a look at what Scripture says about aging. What does Scripture tell us to think about aging and to do as we age? Grab your Bible and let's study these passages together.

This week, we’ve got a new feature for you that we’ll hope you’ll love as much as our other features. We’re calling this one Potluck. And on these episodes, we’re going to 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. Join us as we discuss discernment, accountability, discipleship materials for teens, Ecclesiastes, and more!

What happens when speakers add their own opinions and worldly cultural influences to the Word of God? The examples we are sharing are not from Word of Faith or New Apostolic Reformation services, but from the other end of the spectrum - the Progressive Christianity movement. Join us as we "talk back" to the Progressives with what the Bible really says.

Hollywood marriages last about as long as peanut butter cups in a bowl full of raisins. Not much of a shelf life, and not based on Christ.
The Bible has a lot to say about what "real" marriages look like. With more than 60 years of marriage experience between them, Michelle and Amy discuss biblical love and godly marriages, and what they've learned.

Last October, LifeWay Research released a study called The State of Ministry to Women. They surveyed 1,000 female churchgoers and 842 women’s ministry leaders "aiming to assess the state of women's ministry, with a focus on acknowledging progress and identifying areas for further development.”
In part 1 of this episode of The Pew, we discussed the results of the survey of the women's ministry leaders. Tonight, in part 2, we’re goin...
In this episode of Talk Back, we discuss the brouhaha over Alistair Begg's counsel to a grandmother about attending her grandchild's "wedding". What does the Bible have to say about sexual immorality and a pastor's responsibility to teach and counsel according to sound doctrine?

Lots of people make New Year’s resolutions that tend to fizzle out within a few weeks or months. Instead, we want to introduce to you some holy habits you can integrate into your walk with the Lord. Last year’s holy habits were more about private sanctification in our own one on one relationship with Christ. This year’s habits are more outwardly focused on ministering to others. And one of the holy habits we want to encourage you t...
