As a child, Aaron Pierce suffered from severe ADHD, OCD, and rage disorder. Desperate to control his racing thoughts, Aaron found solace and healing in memorizing Scripture. In 2013, he and his wife, Emily, founded Piercing Word Ministries and travel across the United States, teaching others how to embed God's Word in their hearts. Aaron shares his story with Rebecca and Nika on this week's episode of Honestly, Though: Real Talk. Real Life. Real Faith.

If you grew up in Sunday School, chances are you learned the Ten Commandments at an early age. "Though shalt not steal, thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain." But what does it mean to "take God's name in vain?" And what if God had more in mind that using his name as a curse? Join Rebecca Carrell and Nika Spaulding as they sit down with Dr. Carmen Imes, Professor of Old Testament Studies at Biola University, to discuss what it means to bear God's name and why we need the Old Testament to understand God's will for our lives.

Dr. Glenn Krieder of Dallas Theological Seminary sits down with Rebecca and Liz about the damage we do when we approach death incorrectly and how the good news is so much better than we thought.
