You have more power than you think, and after listening to this episode, you'll know how to thrive in the power He's given you in the place that He's set you. 

There are various opinions about women leading in the church. Can women teach? Can women lead men?

Your favorite podcast is back with a special guest to kick off the new season! Tune in for a discussion on apologetics and evangelism, but stay for marriage advice. In this episode, Jada talks with Preston Perry, a poet, performance artist, teacher, and apologist from Chicago. Preston shares insights from his new book, 'How to Tell the Truth: The Story of How God Saved Me to Win Hearts--Not Just Arguments.' This conversation explores the need for emotional intelligence, humility, and obedience to win hearts, not arguments. You will leave this conversation understanding that apologetics is not synonymous with strangers and the call of every believer. 

Have you ever wrestled with when to speak up and when to stay silent? For this throwback episode, Jada reminds us to be brave and courageous. We'll dive into the book of Joshua to see what boldness and bravery look like and how we can do it in a way that glorifies God and not ourselves. 

Too often, we get filled up with spiritual junk, and then we have no room for good spiritual nourishment. The truth is that the hunger that we're feeling is not just in our minds and bodies; it's in our souls. We try to satisfy our hunger with shallow things, yet only closeness with God truly satisfies the deepest part of us.
