  • Ep.19- Let's Talk About Sarah Young's Devotional "Jesus Calling for Teens: 50 Devotions to Grow Your Faith" pt.1

    Sarah Young hopes that by these devotions our teens are moved to trust Jesus more. But will they do this? What kind of teachings is Sarah Young's Jesus giving in them and do our teens even need this devotional to bring them closer to Jesus? Let's talk about it and compare it to Scripture. 

    Topics that come up:

    What suffering and trials can produce in our teens.

    God's Sovereignty and Providence.

    Idolatry and the Gospel.

    Does sacrifice mean giving up control?

    Who are our good works for?

    How does Christ give our teens peace?

    Christ's keeping vs our safety.

    Idolatry and our teen's Helper during times of upheaval.

    A lie the devil tells our teens.

    Guilt and following Christ.

    Following a false Jesus.

    May this episode bless you and may God be glorified!

  • Ep 17- Two Opposing Doctrine: Man’s Wisdom of Psychology vs God’s Wisdom in Scripture Pt.2
    To finish up our discussion on Psychology vs God's Wisdom we look at unregenerate man's wisdom vs the sufficiency of Scripture to lead us into right living, where man's psychological observations conflict with Scripture, what walking in the Spirit looks like in a Christian especially in regards to the thoughts and minds of a Christians, how Scripture brings one into Spiritual maturity and whether we can have mental/spiritual perfection this side of eternity.
    Enjoy! And may God be Glorified!

  • Ep 16- Two Opposing Doctrines: Man’s Wisdom of Positive Psychology vs God’s Wisdom in Scripture Pt.1
    We just finished up 3 part critique on Jennie Allen's "Get Out of Your Head: A Study in Philippians" which mixes certain Psychological techniques with Scripture. I wanted to take time to actually look at these Positive Psychological techniques and ask "What is Positive Psychology and what are these techniques she has us do in her projects"? How might it contrast with Scripture and then ask if we even need them. 
    These last 2 episodes have been some of the most challenging but incredibly solidifying study in my belief in Sola Scriptura and so I hope it blesses you in trusting God's Word for ALL life and godliness as it has for me! May God be praised!

About Thoroughly Equipped

From the publisher's feed

Have you ever thought about the Popular Evangelical Women’s Ministry in America today? Do you read books by female ministers, attend their "bible" studies, and sold-out conferences? Do you ever wonder if these produce the maturity they claim to encourage? Perhaps you have spent hours reading books and attending conferences and feel no more mature in your Christian walk than you did 5, 10, or even 20 years ago? Or maybe you're a discerning woman who understands that there is something wrong but can’t put your finger on it or articulate why there seems to be a problem.
