Samantha pieces together her testimony and discusses the importance of churches helping people to accept people where they are while not just allowing them to stay where they are. The gospel message is one of salvation and redemption. 

The Christian culture throws around phrases like "love the sinner, hate the sin," "be uncompromising," "love all people," and "tolerance," but - what do these really mean? As Jesus interacted with people, he perfectly navigated the tension of loving them and telling them the truth.  We are faced with the same task, as we must daily make a choice to either be uncompromising as Christ-followers and love those who reject us or value the opinion of man over pleasing the One who gave everything for us. On today's episode, Samantha discusses it. 

The gospels show several instances where Jesus retreated or withdrew to be alone, for a variety of reasons. We, too, should value this time alone with the Lord, but what we should be doing is maybe different than what we are actually doing. Join Samantha to talk it out and see how we can all do better in this area.

Tired of hearing messages on identity, yet continuing to struggle with it? Join the club. It's quite large.  Jesus models for us how to do this correctly and it all begins with actually believing what is written in the Word and then finding some courage, with the help of the Spirit, to help you walk out this journey.  Samantha talks through the story of Jesus' testing in the wilderness with you and hopes to encourage you to make a change today by beginning to fight for WHO you are and WHO you belong to.

Join Samantha as she looks through the Gospels to look for how Jesus invests time, patience, teaching and edification as He interacts with His disciples.

Churches stealing rights to Broadway musicals, indignant responses to COVID protocols, insensitive responses to racism - has the church done lost it’s mind? Discernment goes beyond us knowing the difference between right and wrong, it helps us not be stupid and wreck our testimony! Come talk it out with Samantha, today! 

We should be careful to judge something as false just because we've not experienced it ourselves, yet - we can and should be able to recognize things that have fruit that glorify God. This is the final episode in this series on some of the claimed aspects of the Charismatic/Pentecostal church culture.  Samantha shares her own thoughts, including thoughts from scholars and eyewitness accounts.
