Three voices are fighting to name you right now.

Culture say you're undefined - a blank slate with no fixed identity. Complementarianism, particularly within the Southern Baptist Convention, says you're narrowly defined; restricted to roles that shrink what God actually called you to. And estrangement - when your own child stops calling, stops answering, walks away - whispers  the cruelest definition of all: You are not wanted. Your are not a mother. You are what they left behind.

None of them get the final word.

In this episode of Hart to Heart, I walk through the women the church rarely talks about - Deborah, who led Israel as prophet and judge with full authority over men and women. The Proverbs 31 woman, who was far more than a domestic ideal - a businesswoman, a leader, a teacher. Mary Magdalene, Priscilla, Phoebe - women of God trusted with His work when human systems wouldn't have. The we look at what happened when those human systems replaced biblical truth; how 1 Timothy 2 got stripped of its context, how the "narcissist" label got weaponized against parents, and why telling women they cannot use their God-given gifts doesn't just limit them - it limits the Great Commission and the  Kingdom of God.

Culture cannot define you. Complementarianism cannot shrink you. Estrangement cannot erase you.

If your adult child has cut you off, you may have moments when you feel better. You get through the day You stay busy. You stop crying for a little while. But feeling better is not always the same as being healed.

In this Family Restoration episode, I unpack the difference between temporary relief and true healing after family estrangement. This message is for estranged moms (or dads), targeted parents, and Christian women who are ready t to stop defining themselves by rejection, silence, or the need to prove their children wrong.

True healing is identify-level. It is not numbing out the pain. It is not winning the argument in your mind. It is not waiting beside the same emotional pool forever. True healing is when God rewrites the loop in your mind and anchors you in who He says you are.

This episode also reframes "pick up your mat" as a call to submit to Christ, stop returning to the old place of shame, and walk forward as the woman God created you to be. Submission does not erase your God-given wiring. It redeems it.

Today, we are going to overturn tables of the pharmaceutical industry and the growing mental health crisis plaguing our society today. We are going to answer questions of "who" is at a greater risk of depression, and why. We are then going to look at mental health through the lens of scripture and discuss the discovery of a possible cure through Neuroscience combined with religion.

Welcome Friends to our Overturning Tables Series. We have a big show today. There is so much going on right now in Minnesota and the drama surrounding Minneapolis. There are murders, assassination attempts, fraud and scandals. I will be giving my opinion on the invasion of the City's Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a tough correction on the responses made by many Progressive Pastors when asked "What would Jesus do?" with their response of, "This is what Judas would do." So, buckle up as we dive right into this new series of Overturning Tables.

Today, we are going to continue overturning tables as we answer some of the questions from our last episode, "Can Women Be Pastors Part 1". The majority of the responses I received were very positive, with only a few questions. I decided to add another show, so I could provide more detailed responses. 

I was asked by one viewer to "please explain inerrancy" and another one asked about the meaning of "creation order".

I thought I would begin by letting Jesus answer the first question found in the entirety of Matthew 23.

Then we will transition to 1 Timothy 2 to where we will look at how selective literalism is problematic. It is impossible to confidently discern which portions of Paul's words were intended to be taken literally and which were meant to be understood symbolically within the same passage. Such selective literalism results in subjective and inconsistent conclusions, relying more on personal opinion than on objective facts.  It cannot be both literal and non-literal at the same time.

Please join me as we dispel the creation order myth and learn what Paul said about it in 1 Corinthians. And we will determine if the fundamentalist "complementarian" approach to scripture is the same hypocrisy and criticisms that Jesus spoke against in Matthew 23.

Today, we are going to Overturn Tables as we tackle one of the most controversial topics in the Evangelical Church, "Can Women Be Pastors?" This one question drives chaos and divisions within the church. This question challenges the Pastoral Letters. The premise is women are eternally remanded by the Apostle to remain silent and submissive. As the Apostle Paul stated, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, she must remain silent."

Please join us as we are going to embrace this question with bold confidence, as we examine Paul's ministry and the early Church in the 1st four Centuries, Paul's letters, Pastoral Women in the 19th ad 20th Century, and we will discover what triggered the Conservative Resurgence movement that expelled women from the pulpit in the 1970s.

You won't want to miss this episode, as this will expose the Southern Baptist Convention's Conservative Resurgence Doctrine and it's shocking past roots of corruption, current state of the Pastoral Leadership, and other shocking revelations.

Today we are continuing our series on the Apostle Paul and his letters on marriage found in the Book of Ephesians. We will be breaking down scripture to fully understand Paul's words on submission and the husband-and-wife roles. We are also going to look at the current feminist movement and the false beliefs that is impacting women's mental and spiritual health. We will learn what spiritual force is driving this movement and how to fight against it.

As we have learned in our Women's Series, God empowers women. It has been human laws, not God, that have limited women's abilities. God recognizes our potential found in Proverbs 31. Women can be bold and confident; she can earn money and invest her wages to grow financially.

A godly woman who serves the Lord, is given responsibility to use her influence to make lives better for those around her. Everyone benefits including herself. It is equally important for godly women to praise and support other women, to help build up their lives. Godly women are to be celebrated. Not silenced nor oppressed.

Please LISTEN to learn more about the widely mistaken understanding of scripture about husband-and-wife roles within a godly marriage.

Welcome back as we continue our Christian Women's Series on the Apostle Paul and his letter to the church leaders in 1 Corinthians. There has been much debate about this letter, specifically Chapter 14; the role of the wife in church. As we will learn, the confusion lies within this question, "Was Paul teaching eternal truth or was he simply responding to the needs of his time...or was it both?"

Today's show, we will examine the challenges Paul encountered in early Christianity and his response to specific problems within the church in how-to maintain order and how-to relate to one another. We will be focusing on Chapter 14, which is where the greatest misunderstandings are found that has caused on-going debates on the role of women in the church.

Was Paul's directive for wives to remain silent intended as a temporary instruction, or did he mean that all women should be perpetually silent throughout history?

We are going to answer this question in our show today. And you will be surprised by which Apostle who warned us about Paul's letters being "hard to understand" and how people will twist them to their own destruction. So LISTEN now! You won't want to miss this episode.

Welcome to our Christian Women's Series where our purpose is to discover women's biblical past, to encourage women today, and in the future, to confidently embrace God's spirit-led destinies for each one of us. 

Today, we are looking at the life of Saul the Pharisee and persecutor, to learn how he became the Apostle Paul. 

I cannot think of a more misunderstood biblical character than Paul. For someone that warned us about creating divisions within the church, his letters which were meant to bring unity, have actually brought contradiction and confusion to his biblical authority. The debate lies within this question: Was Paul teaching eternal truth or was he simply responding to the needs of his time?

Join me as we begin our series about Paul. You will not want to miss this series.
