Strength to Strength welcomed Seth Mattson to discuss the intersection of Jesus’ constitution with Biblical counseling and Christian psychology.

The world of Christian counseling, ranging from integrated Christian psychology to direct biblical counseling, has a vibrant and ongoing history, although not without controversy. What do Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount as well as early Christian ideas have to offer to this discussion?

Strength to Strength welcomed Kyle Stoltzfus to discuss God’s perspective of our bodies He has given us.

What does your body have to do with your relationship with God? When Paul argues for a spiritual body in I Corinthians 15, does he mean a ghostly, disembodied spirit? We respond in this session by laying out the contours of biblical reflection on human bodies. Then, we evaluate five Christian claims about human bodies.

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Kristi Mast to share on the importance of discipleship among sisters.

If women are told to be silent in the church, keepers at home, and meek and quiet, what does it look like for them to participate in the life of the church? Why does the church need women to study God’s Word if they aren’t preaching and teaching the body? And what’s the connection between the Scriptures and a life of discipleship? We’ll wrestle with these questions and more in our discussion together!

Strength to Strength welcomed David Bercot to explore the books of the Old Testament apocrypha.

These books from the so-called intertestamental period, largely written in Greek, have had a strong influence throughout the history of the church. This extended to Anabaptism in Europe, and significantly was a part of the King James Version of 1611. The Apocryphal books were often printed with the KJV up until about the 19th century.

David explores the history and controversy surrounding these books, and offers a great perspective for our consideration today.

Strength to Strength welcomed Micaiah to discuss the benefits of fidelity in prayer, fasting, solitude, and community.

In this Talk, we discuss the benefits of a disciplined life in the throws of our present cultural anarchy and spirtual numbness that has deadened our walk and service to the King.

The fidelity to daily rythyms of prayer and other practices will cause the life of the Creator to blow into the depths of our being leaving in its wake an army of well-trained disciples ready for active duty.

Strength to Strength welcomed three brothers on an off-Saturday to discuss what their lives look like being a disciple of Jesus.

The unsung heroes of Jesus’ kingdom are the faithful disciples who serve their Lord without fanfare or applause.

Whether you are a warrior in secret prayer, a widow who casts in the last two mites, or a worker advancing the bleeding edge of the kingdom, you can rest assured that deeds of service do not escape the eye of our benevolent King.

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Laura Kuruvilla to share her journey in the area of modesty and headcovering and addresses some of the pressing questions that surround us in this age.

Why does God want us to dress modestly? How do we even come up with a definition of modesty? Is modesty defined by the culture in which we live? Are pants permissible for women?

Join us to explore God’s heart for his daughters on this practical subject.

Strength to Strength welcomed John D. Martin to discuss Jesus’ ultimate purpose of coming to this world.

God created a perfect humanity. All of us still carry the ideals of that humanity in our hearts. But attempts to fulfill those ideals in a fallen world usually end in disillusionment. Have these ideals been left to mock fallen man, or has God given us a way for their genuine fulfillment?

Strength to Strength welcomed Micah Hozen to share his testimony of faith with us.

From the suburbs and beaches of Southern California, to the forests and rivers of Oregon, I was restless, always looking for something, for somewhere to belong, for what truly pleased God. But my sin was always there confounding my search. This is the story of how God brought me to the end of myself, set me free, and delivered me into His Kingdom.
