  • 7 Red Flags of False Teaching
    I’m excited for you to hear this episode with Dawn Hill. Dawn starts out by sharing her powerful testimony of how she left the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). We then discuss seven warning signs of false teaching, and Dawn gives very helpful, practical advice on what to do if you believe your church has adopted any of these practices. We both hope you be encouraged to trust Jesus Christ and his word as the authority for living the Christian life after listening to this episode! About Dawn: I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, a wife, a mother, and a sinner saved by grace. After coming out of a hyper charismatic/NAR church where I spent 18 years, I am passionate about sharing the truth with the written Word as the standard of authority for Christian living and instructions while being led by the Holy Spirit into maturity. After coming out of the NAR, I have understood the importance of teaching my children the truth concerning the gospel of Jesus Christ and not being mindful of what they are being taught by others and not placing burdens on them to change the world according to the NAR.

  • Are You Unknowingly Following New Age Practices?
    You won’t want to miss this conversation with Doreen Virtue, a whistleblower exposing new age deception. We talk about how she turned from the new age and discovered salvation in Jesus Christ alone. If that isn’t incredible enough she shares about how a family member prayed for her salvation and boldly shared the gospel with her and her new age friends. We also delve into how our churches have become entangled with new age practices, including enneagram, yoga, Lectio Divina, and others. Listen all the way through to find out how you can identify and be set free from partaking in the new age and bring your children into a relationship with Jesus, our one and only savior.
    About Doreen:
    Doreen Virtue was a top-selling new age author with heretical publications in 38 languages by various publishers, appearances on Oprah, and sold-out international workshops before God graciously saved her in 2017. Now she is a whistleblower exposing new age deception, and warning the church of false teachings on her YouTube channel, social media pages including Facebook, and in frequent interviews. Doreen has been featured on American Gospel 3, American Gospel TV, Daily Wire, Moody Radio, Spillover, Christianity Today, Cultish, and other Christian media. Doreen graduated with a Masters Degree in Biblical and Theological Studies (56 units with highest honors) from Western Seminary in 2021, and she holds a BA and MA in Counseling Psychology from Chapman University.

  • Learning to Launch with Lori Bodkin
    Lori Bodkin is a life mentor and certified Christian counselor who also happens to be the mom of two young adult children. In today's episode we talk about learning how to launch our older kids into the world while we still pray for them and take an active role in their lives. It's a tricky balance to walk as a mom, but it can be done. Lori provides some great practical tips and advice for us moms who are watching our teenagers grow up and leave the house or gain independence while they attend college while living at home. Every stage of motherhood come with joys and challenges and this stage is no different! Lori is so engaging and practical. You will enjoy this conversation even if your kids aren't quite ready to leave home yet.
    Lori's practical tip (which I forget to ask in this episode-oops!).
    "I always have the ingredients for tacos or nachos on hand because it's a quick meal to whip up (especially on days you're just not feeling it) and who doesn't love a good taco or plate of nachos? You can also make them with whatever leftover meat you have AND if you have a guest stop by or the kids have friends over, it's usually a crowd pleaser. Bonus win!"
    More about Lori:
    As a life mentor and certified Christian counselor, Lori encourages, equips, and empowers women to take control of their busy, overwhelmed lives so they can experience the joy and freedom God intended. She still works a regular day job as a training specialist, writing web-based trainings and collaborating with the heavy truck industry. Hosting her mentoring workshops allows her to be genuinely creative while providing encouragement and leadership for women in a fun and engaging way. She will have been married to her husband, Bob, for 26 years on Valentine’s Day. (Yes, Lori is a hopeless romantic!) They have two adult children; Cory is 24 and Alyssa is 20. She is also a certified Christian Counselor and loves having a front row seat to work with God in healing and restoring love and joy in women and couples. She truly loves making a difference every day. When she has some free time, Lori enjoys baking, scrapbooking, reading, watching Hallmark movies and enjoying a cup of coffee and good conversation with her girlfriends.
