Colleen and Nikki study through Romans 14:13–16. This passage shows that you should not grieve a believer with your food choices, and a believer should never slander your own food choices. The kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking!

The Book of Romans Series: Colleen and Nikki discuss Romans 14:5–9. Charlie Kirk's book on the Sabbath, Stop in the Name of God, has sold out and is a "best seller" in America. Adventism is using Kirk's focus on the Sabbath to advance their doctrine of seventh-day Sabbath keeping. What does the Bible say about the Sabbath?

The Book of Romans Series: Nikki and Colleen discuss Romans 13:5–7. The Bible mandates that Christians are to be faithful in paying their taxes to the government because the rulers in government are servants of God. Think about the type of government that the Christians were under when this was written—the Roman Empire—a power that persecuted and martyred Christians.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
