222: Theology Matters Series Part FOUR... How Your Theology Influences Your Discipleship & Relationships as a Christian Woman

Welcome to part FOUR of this Theology Matters Series. Today I take time to answer the question: how does theology affect discipleship and your relationships as a Christian woman? 
 
There are two primary areas I focus on during this episode: discipleship [how you intentionally or unintentionally disciple others] and accountability in your relationships [specifically your relationships with other Christians]. I also touch on culture, more specifically the postmodern era and how to navigate postmodern ideology as a Christian; illustrations of poor theology impacting your ability to properly disciple other Christians; and the affect your theology has on your life and witness to those who are not Christians.
 
In this episode, I reference a few resources:
Who Needs Theology: An Invitation to the Study of God by Stanley J. Grenz & Roger E. Olson
A Practical Primer on Theological Method: Table Manners for Discussuing God, His Works, and His Ways by Glenn R. Kreider and Michael J. Svigel

221: Theology Matters Series Part THREE... How Your Theology Impacts Your Health as a Christian Woman with Robin Rhine McDonald

Welcome to PART THREE of our Theology Matters Series! In today’s episode, I share a conversation I had with Robin Rhine McDonald.
 
Robin Rhine McDonald is a Faith-Based Holistic Health Coach, proud mom and wife with a passion for supporting and empowering Jesus-loving women to gain true health while losing weight through her sustainable, grace-based process. She loves to help women ditch chronic dieting and disease for holistic health and wellness. She mixes her seminary background with her study of integrative nutrition to help women develop the energy and vitality to live out their unique God-given calling.
 
As we talked through Robin’s testimony and heart for health, we kind of naturally went down the path of weaving theology into the conversation. Robin and I discussed how your theology affects your health, whether you’re aware of it or not. Robin ended our conversation by offering some practical application for taking care of yourself and honoring the temple God gave you. Robin and I had this really natural flow that was, no doubt, led by the Holy Spirit, and despite us initially connecting to discuss a different topic, we ended up here. I’m confident you will enjoy this down-to-earth conversation! I’m excited for you to get to know Robin and will include links to her show and a gift she has for you right here in the show notes. Ready to dive in? Let’s do it!

220: Theology Matters Series Part TWO... Are You Reading The Bible CORRECTLY? How Your Bible Study Affects Your Walk as a Christian Woman with Heather Preston

Welcome to part two of our Theology Matters Series! Today, I’m sharing a conversation with my friend, Heather Preston. 
 
Heather is a professional writer with a Master of Arts in Theological Studies. As a consultant she works with churches and pastors and has a passion for academic collaborations. Heather hosts a podcast called Scripts on Scripture where she discusses all things Bible with pastors and fellow writers. Her most recent book is entitled Between the Lines.
 
During this conversation, Heather shared her definition of theology and defined some important terms like hermeneutics and exegesis. We dove into how to read the Bible properly, including what information you should know when studying through a particular book of the Bible. Heather also offered an encouraging perspective on why you need to engage in proper study and interpretation of God’s Word. We ended with Heather explaining why she believes Theology Matters. I loved having this conversation. I pray it blesses you big! If I were you, I would grab a notebook or open a note on your phone because you are going to want to take some notes!

Welcome to this month’s series… THEOLOGY MATTERS!
 
If you’ve been craving a deeper dive into theology, this series is one you don’t want to miss! I’m so excited to dive into the topic of theology, why it matters and how it affects our everyday walks as Christian women.

214: How To KNOW What God Has Called You To, Live Purposefully & Identify When You’re Out of Alignment as a Christian Woman…with Shayla Hilton!

Well, hello! I hope you are having a fabulous Tuesday! We are just about done with February, and only have one month left in quarter 1… Can you believe it?! Well, today, I have a treat for you! My friend Shayla Hilton joined me for a conversation that truly blessed me. Honestly, even while we were talking, I felt like it was a convo the Lord let us have just so I could go back and relisten. We talked about so many things, including how to know what God has called you to do in this season… how to deal with seasons when you feel like you’re wasting time or behind in life… what it means to live purposefully… what to do when you don’t want to do what the Lord is clearly asking you to do in this season… how to know when you’re out of alignment with the Lord… and so much more!

213: The Problem of "Not Enough Time" and What It ACTUALLY Says About Your Time Management as a Christian Woman

There’s this phrase that I was notorious for using when I was asked if I followed through on something I said I was going to do or wanted to do…it went something like, “I tried, but I just don’t have enough time…” This happened a lot when I was younger, and today I’m going to share the scenarios I used it the most. I’m also going to explain what this phrase actually means as it pertains to your time management.
