Cultures and a Heart for the World – HIRL Episode 153

Are you a beloved mess? Tired of trying to make your family seem as if you've got it all together? Exhausted by external standards that seem unreachable or even crushing? 
The Christian life is not about being less of a mess. It’s about admitting that we need to be saved from trying to clean ourselves up. Guest Kimm Crandall frees you to live with the assurance that God loves you right here, right now. He’s not waiting for you to clean up your act before you’re worthy to come to him. In fact, he wants you to stop trying to fix the mess and allow him to wash it away.
Beloved Mess is an episode that is both thoughtful and healing to our weary, worn out souls.

Homeless Homeschooling – HIRL Episode 124 (Replay)


Homeschooling. Health food. Small church. Mom stays home. KJV only. Dresses. Youth group. Public school. No TV. Our convictions, or the things we strongly about, can drive so much of our lives and end up being the choices by which we define ourselves. They can bring like-minded believers together and set the tone for our families and homes.
But what happens when your convictions are different than mine? As soon as you discover that we don't have the same non-negotiables in our home as you do in yours, is it a deal-killer?
What does it look like to love other Christians in our community who hold to different standards but agree that Jesus is everything? Can we love each other well, for the sake of the gospel?
